Have a look at this. SST is sea surface temperature. Where do you think the vast amounts of heat 150 years of burning fossil fuels creates goes? Over 70% of the planet is covered by water, the oceans. The oceans have been storing a huge amount of this heat. The middle dotted line is the average SST for 1982-2011. Yellow is 2022 data. Black is 2023. It looks like oceans have reached the limit of the heat they can hold and are releasing it back out - the black line. We’re being cooked. That huge mass of water hid the amount of heating going on. This will rapidly accelerate global warming.
