Ocean Heat Has Shattered Records for More Than a Year. What’s Happening?
Ocean Heat Has Shattered Records for More Than a Year. What’s Happening?
There have been record temperatures every day for more than a year. Scientists are investigating what’s behind the extraordinary measurements.
“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.

I was watching a video about past extinctions and they had a line where the oceans warmed two degrees over two million years, which was just about enough time for the ecosystems to evolve and adapt.
Look at what we've done in two hundred.
I went down a wiki rabbit hole a few weeks back, I found this graph very interesting https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Younger_Dryas
I would love to watch that, do you have a link or know where I can view this?
It was Kurzgesagt. Which was even more troubling since they are pretty reputable and they've done videos on the past trying to spur hopes on climate change. It seemed like a weird little factoid thrown into the mix rather than something directly related to current events.
