“There’s no ambiguity about the data,” said Gavin Schmidt, a climatologist and the director of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies. “So really, it’s a question of attribution.”
Understanding what specific physical processes are behind these temperature records will help scientists improve their climate models and better predict temperatures in the future.
According to Republicans and companies like Exxon, anything that may or may not be happening cannot be conclusively tied to human activity. Nothing to see here!
This purposely obtuse headline is so annoying.
Ocean 🔥 heat 🔥 has 🔥 shattered 🔥 records 🔥 for 🔥 more 🔥 than 🔥 a 🔥 year 🔥😎😎😎
What’s happening is the beginning of the end. The time to prepare is now.
Where finally getting good at breaking records
I thought its more than 1C since 1981
Remember this is water, which has a much greater thermal capacity than air.
Yeah, I didnt mean its not much, but was sure the increase was higher (source: thoughts while taking shower hehe). Thx for clarifying!
Water needs x4 energy of what air needs to increase the same amount of temperature iirc, so… In air differences it’s almost 2°C at some points and almost 1 at others, it’s super worrying.
This article from last month was much clearer to me.
What’s happening? пиздець is happening.
