This about says it all. Global warming is real. Questions?
Temperature changes are normalized by the size of year-to-year variations – this is then a signal-to-noise ratio. Note how changes in Africa stand out more clearly because the variability there is much smaller than in Europe, for example.

Good afternoon,
Not sure if you saw this report released 2/1/2022 — the ocean’s new normal is extreme heat, and this new normal began in 2014.
The last paragraph pretty much says it all:
While the prediction of future climate change impacts remains challenging, facilitating constructive climate change dialogue may face fewer barriers when drawing from historical climate records. Using the methods applied here, we find that extreme climate change is not a hypothetical future possibility, but a past historical event that has already occurred in the global ocean. Though this occurred earlier in some regions, 50% of the oceanâs surface experienced extreme heat in 2014, and this has steadily increased thereafter.
Cordially,
Teri Wright
