Not enough polar ice available anymore ?
Ocean needs melting polar ice to cool the ocean water down just like the ice lump in your drink.
Is the new heating now happening in Northern Hemisphere summer or in Southern Hemisphere summer ?
In the past the highest ocean temperature peak was in March.
In 2023 the highest ocean temperature peak was in September.
Why did the highest peak move 6 months down in the yearly season ?
In the past 40 years the arctic ice was melting more than the antarctic ice so there was more melting ice available in the northern hemisphere summer melt to cool the ocean during northern hemisphere summer than during the southern hemisphere summer.
But this polar ice trend is changing the ocean warming seasonal peak high now ?
Anyway
In climate science there are too many unanswered questions and too many unquestioned answers ...
But : Health & Climate & Energy are really very complicated and delicate politico-scientific stuff and also socio-economic stuff but we do the best we can and try to explain it as simple as possible but not simpler than that in the group :
