wrote a thing for theConvo - they wouldn't go for my original title "Its the oceans, stupid" but did allow half of a "shark on the back deck of a trawler" analogy (the cut bit was why would you haul more sharks onto the back deck). Its getting really hard to say things in a measured tone and expect things to change. #ClimateChange #OceanHeatContent https://theconversation.com/record-low-antarctic-sea-ice-is-another-alarming-sign-the-oceans-role-as-climate-regulator-is-changing-204680

I got asked at a workshop a few weeks back what keeps me awake at night... it is this.. mindful that it is ocean _surface_ temperatures -the ticking you hear is the role of #mixing and how much heat can actually be "stored" #Climate #OceanHeatContent https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/apr/26/accelerating-ocean-warming-earth-temperatures-climate-crisis

when headlines talk about "scorcher" like it's gonna be a fun day at the beach. 😐 its very not-good. This for 3jan23 - ocean surface temperature anomaly (ie difference from normal) red=hot... from Ben Noll at #NIWA using #NOAA product. #MarineHeatWaves #Climate #OceanHeatContent

@davidho Great!

My mind is still blown away by this Sputnik chart of the ocean basin temperature trend 1960-2019. Credits to Lijing Cheng et al (2019). That came up the other day, remember? Simply the best Ocean visualisation, methinks.
