“There’s no ambiguity about the data,” said Gavin Schmidt, a climatologist and the director of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies. “So really, it’s a question of attribution.”
Understanding what specific physical processes are behind these temperature records will help scientists improve their climate models and better predict temperatures in the future.
I thought its more than 1C since 1981
Remember this is water, which has a much greater thermal capacity than air.
Yeah, I didnt mean its not much, but was sure the increase was higher (source: thoughts while taking shower hehe). Thx for clarifying!
Water needs x4 energy of what air needs to increase the same amount of temperature iirc, so… It’s almost 2°C at some points and almost 1 at others, it’s super worrying.
