A very warm ocean

Next few months will be interesting.

That is for the 1st, the one for the fourth is even warmer. Don't know why this site posts the graph from three days ago, after it shows the present one in the reply box.

It looks like California might have a drought busting year.

You know that this is normal right?

There is a reason they call it "reanalyzed". They weren't happy with the first results.

There are records of warm ocean from the Aztecs and from ancient writings of polynesian tribes. Those are the first results.

None of that matters compared to the dishonesty of the graph the OP posted.

Has anyone noticed the subset of years that this information is portraying? 1971 to 2000.

The question now becomes, "Why just those years?"

Why not a comparison of all historical data? The answer is pretty simple.

Oy

The colorful globe maps again.

We see them every year for 10 years in here!

The Pacific basin is very warm, going to be an interesting year.

That was the period used to calculate the baseline - the zero level on the graph. The data displayed was for Saturday, Dec 01, 2018. It was compared to the average temperatures of the baseline

A date chosen to highlight the message they want to convey.

How about they chose the baseline from ALL historical data, not just a subset that makes their graph confirm what their argument is. It is an old trick with graphs. They count on people not taking note of the parameters and subsets used to create them.

Hurricanes and typhoons form when the water is warm. Wonder if this means hurricane season is gonna go past Nov. 1st in the future years?

Who doesn't love a warm ocean?

O M G !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You get the water isn't really that color, right?

Not meaning to, but I'm probably gonna sound like a smart ass, apologies in advance Fncceo..........................

But, the water could very well end up becoming that color. Remember the warm water that contributed to Florida's red tides this year? Not only did it kill a lot of fish, but it also crapped up the air within 1/2 mile of the shore and people were getting sick. Warm water is what made the red tide grow.

Red tide persisting along Southwest Florida coast

Red tide is still plaguing coastal areas in Collier and Lee counties, but the outbreak is patchy and weaker than it was a few weeks ago.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission reports varying conditions in the region, with counts ranging from natural background levels to 1 million cells per liter and higher.

Respiratory irritation was reported this week in Collier, Lee, Manatee, Pinellas, and Sarasota counties.

"We had respiratory irritation reported at all of our beaches (Tuesday) due to the onshore winds," said Rhonda Watkins, an environmental specialist with Collier County Pollution Control. "(But) there have been no reports of dead fish this week."

Most recent counts show low to medium concentrations along the Southwest coast, although there is a spike in the Captiva area.

Conditions for beachgoers and boaters depend on whether the wind is blowing onshore or offshore.

Yeah. It's too bad that Governor Moonbeam cancelled the water projects that would have enabled us to store more rain in prep for the inevitable next drought.
