From Prof. Eliot Jacobson:
Wow! Wow! Wow!
North Atlantic sea surface temperature anomalies are going vertical again. And yes, I needed to extend the y-axis.
Yesterday’s temperature of 24.49°C (76.08°F) was 4.2σ above the 1991-2020 mean. The previous high for July 17 was 23.71°C (74.68°F) in 2020.

This is also related to the change in fuels for ships. They banned something that emits aerosols which has reduced the masking effect. And this started prior to El Niño starting. It’s likely a combination of the above and some other tipping point shenanigans
Oh, didn’t know that interesting. Thanks
Heavy particulate smog cools the planet. Horrible for people, but has masked how bad CO2 has increased global heating.
As many places have cleaned up diesel fuel emissions, the heating has increased.
The US East coast pollution of the 1970’s was a major contribution to the drought in Ethiopia in the 80’s. Dense smog blocks ocean evaporation. Chinese heavy smog has been causing a lot of the drought conditions in the western US due to the same factors.
I find it amazing how each Continent causes changes in other Continents.
Guess we should cover earth in a nice thick layer of dust for a few years until we solved the climate problem…
Isnt that what happened in the Matrix and why the world was left in desolation due to the crazy weather that that caused?
Ahhh i don’t want to hear about possible consequences!
There are people that seriously propose that.
Essentially. We’d have to continue creating a masking effect, while stopping and reducing CO².
I think if humanity joined forces, a united effort, we could fix it, but I think we won’t, because of the greedy few.
Or better yet, space bubbles!!
