🌊🌡️📈 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.

I'm sure he forgot to mention the accelerated warming..

😁 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?
