Most people have little understanding of thermodynamics. 90% of the sun’s heat is stored in the ocean and this is what we should be focusing on not the atmosphere. Climate deniers getting their panties bunched about the atmosphere, indicates their lack of understanding.
How much does normalcy bias affect media reporting?
Here is a chart of global sea-surface temperatures (SSTs) from 1982 to 2026 with the years 2023, 2024 and 2025 omitted.
As of June 27th, global SSTs have set 26 daily record highs in a row.
Media? Is there anybody out there?
@randallwcarlson Randall, I love your material, but you’ve jumped the shark when you imply that the entire globe saw the same drastic swings of temperature that occurred in, and were localized to the Greenland ice sheet. Yes the global swing was significant, but it was only a few degrees.

@PaulRoundy1@WeatherProf Points well taken Paul. Of course we both know we’re dealing with an immeasurably complex self-reinforcing stochastic system where we have to let the “simulation” run to see the results. Perhaps in retrospect with enough time we begin more meaningfully untangling the results.
@PaulRoundy1@WeatherProf You’re reaching too far back w/ 1998, things have changed - less aerosol pollution, more CO2, less sea ice and other feedbacks contributing to net planetary heat retention. Post 2016 Nino might be a better analogy, where temps recovered unnaturally fast compared to post 1998.
@AndyHazelton@Weather_West Thanks, Andy! Can you help me understand how WWBs push surface heat, in tandem with DWK’s subsurface heat, to yield the cumulative coastal heat buildup? Also, what effect does the WWB have on the DWK directly below it, especially WWB‘s in the eastern half of the Pacific.
@webberweather PS Eric @webberweather, just in case i knew your OP was sarcastic. Keep speaking truth to power and thank you so much for all your updates.
@webberweather Spring barrier or not, ocean heat has the real say here. Look at the extent of the 2026 28 °C isotherm and the WWB-boosted 30 °C isotherm, that was non-existent in 1997!
@webberweather Eric for what it’s worth, I think Mann brings in too much agenda and politics to be an effective science communicator. So overall, he ends up fueling divisiveness and encouraging science denialism.
@webberweather Hi Eric! I’m a fellow New Mexican who appreciates your ENSO insights. Do you think having 3 consecutive La Niñas followed by a muted one last year, primed things for a super El Niño, including the fact that last super El Niño was only 11 years ago?
@DerJannes_ @kimmonismus@AnthropicAI Yes, that graph visually lies. However, it’s actually 3% higher than GPT. Not sure how this small SWE-bench percentage translates into real world use case. My personal experience has been that Sonnet 4.5 consistently produces better and more maintainable code than GPT 5.
@BrightInsight6 He doesn’t mention that they dug many meters—below the weathered granite that he easily knocks off w/ the stone—before carving a fracture–resistant obelisk. This guy is my current poster child of last principles thinking. Clown show for shizzles
@JosephAPWilson1@PiersUncensored@piersmorgan@BrightInsight6@DeDunkingPast I saw the Piers interview - Jimmy you spoke so brilliantly and powerfully for all ancient history truth seekers!
You know you’re on the right track when all they have is ad hominem attacks. Keep up your excellent work!
@ryanweather Occasionally, it's hard to tell if Ryan is joking or being sincere. I assume he's being sincere now because the factors for the hurricane's resilience are independent of climate change?
@BrianGComeaux01@ryanweather Hurricane Harvey, which struck Texas in August 2017, is estimated to have dumped around 33 trillion gallons of water across the Gulf Coast, with about 15 trillion gallons falling on Texas alone. That’s notably less than what Debbie is forecasted to dump.
@C4COMPUTATION Thank you Jessica, for speaking so much truth to power throughout your efforts to restore SFI. It’s rare to see someone with such deep integrity and academia these days
@jimmy_dore Jimmy Iuv your work. However, physics of CO2 is 100% clear. Turns out people behind green energy are the ones /w vested fossil fuel interests. Their narrative is crafted to confuse people on the right & left. Left thinks Green alternatives actually make a difference. They don’t.
