Oceans coldest since the modern era of heat

 


This is a fun 'war of the charts'.  The washpost shows a lot of the charts all showing severe red, and I show charts of cold.  That's because the baseline charts were done in our cold 70-90's era.  Our 'hockey stick' developed up to 2016, and then the temps went down.  The base is somewhere near 10C, and this cold ocean is about 15C.  Luckily for us, the west Pacific is near 30C. (Tahiti trip coming)

That cold water near San Francisco is about 10C, and you can't dip your toe into it.  That cold water is now reaching the equator from the south.  It doesn't bother the media to use totally false charts.
