State of the Oceans - The problem with a lack of physics

 This era continues to shun all math and physics, in favour of influencers.  Eventually, all the old measured physics runs ragged, and math errors accumulate.  My favourite spacex, which I thought was the last bastion of physics, got destroyed by miscalculating the loads on concrete by two orders of magnitude.  Lots of people could have been killed.

The new ocean currents map shows a rare thing -- a cold reversal of the Pacific Belt.  Never before seen, this is a big current reversal, but cold.  El Nino is a hot current reversal.


This may have caused some weird local effects that we'll never know about.


That zone is now being swept away.


This is the 'chart of the week'  We won't be seeing that any more, because it is diving worse than bitcoin.  If we measured anything, we would know what is going on, but I think the two things are different physics.  The Arctic ice is staying a bit longer, and this mucks the above chart, but I don't know what the 'Birth of El Nino' thing was.  Not a speck of it on the main sea temperature chart.


The Belt is very cold and we can say the birthing pains were a false alarm.
