🌊🌡️📈 The shifting baseline syndrome is real. Otherwise people would care more about these North Atlantic Sea Surface Temperatures Anomalies!

Can confirm. Last year, I was glued to ClimateReanalyzer's daily SST chart. This year, maybe 5 times. Shifting baseline indeed. But I'm merely a layperson. There are scientists who keep an eye on it and research the physical stuff. Nice blogpost on hurricane season 2024 by Michael Mann for example.

😁 Broken record? The Hurricane season was especially diverging from forecasts, 19 vs 29 IIRC. That's what he's writing about. Maybe, a warming acceleration – or acceleration of the acceleration – would not directly explain a weaker-than-forecast hurricane season and his omission can be forgiven?

Well I for one am not complacent, every day...what is the mean surface air temperature anomaly?! But as of now from @climatecasino, he's looking at the temperature curve as a fortune-teller looking at tea leaves, especially amongst many doomers there is concern that growth is exponential.

It is not according to him as of now. But what is equally worrying is the absolute temperature. When do the points start to tip? Then I fear it will be academic if there is acceleration or not.
