Not insulting you Old Man.
Just educating you.
Weather can and does change dramatically, from season to season.
Ocean Temperatures are a better indicator of climate change.
Well, because you know......... the current cold storm running from Tx to New Egland has zero affect on the temperature of the OCEAN WATERS.
You're welcome.
Climate change is demonstrated by
both rising ocean temperatures and changing weather patterns, though ocean temperatures are a more consistent, long-term indicator of global warming. While weather represents short-term atmospheric conditions, the oceans absorb over 90% of excess heat from climate change, serving as a vital, long-term measurement.
Key Evidence Points:
- Ocean Temperatures: Rising ocean heat content, particularly in the upper 700 meters, is a direct, measurable result of heat-trapping emissions.
- Weather Patterns: Climate change manifests in weather through long-term changes, such as increased frequency and intensity of extreme events (storms, droughts), changing precipitation patterns, and rising sea levels.
- Comprehensive Data: Scientists use both to understand climate change, with ocean temperatures showing the total accumulated heat, while weather patterns illustrate the immediate, localized impacts.
Ocean temperature is often considered a better, more stable metric for measuring total global warming compared to atmospheric temperatures, which are more easily influenced by short-term cycles.
