Comments by "Old Scientist" (@OldScientist) on "Oceans record hottest ever recorded temperature - BBC News" video.

Life is most diverse in the warmest parts of the world’s oceans. This has been shown across 13 major taxonomic groups from zooplankton to marine mammals. Warmer water = more biodiversity. This is a scare story about things you cannot see. As the oceans warm they will be able to spread away from the equator. Their range will expand. There is no climate crisis.

Another climate propaganda video. Will the BBC now report that 6 days after releasing this video the seas around Britain and the Western Mediterranean are cooling dramatically (at some locations down by 10°C)? No, because that doesn't fit the narrative.

Global Temperature anomaly for July, 2023 = +0.64°C. Global Temperature anomaly for February 2016 = +0.83°C.

If you took away El Niño and Tonga (both natural events) there would be nothing to see. The Tonga eruption injected 142 megatonnes of water vapour into the stratosphere, increasing its water content by 15%. Water vapour is a far more powerful greenhouse gas than CO2. Sea surface temperatures (SST) were trending downwards 2000-2018 (HadSST 4), and from 1950-1980, and from 1880-1910. The oceans warmed at a faster rate 1910-1940 than 1980-2010. Remember CO2 has been accumulating in the atmosphere at an accelerating rate all the time, so there is little correlation between the two. The ocean has warmed rapidly and repeatedly during the current interglacial with no correlation to CO2 e.g. 10,300-10,200 years before the present (y BP), 9,500y BP, 6,000-5,900y BP, 5,400-5,300y BP, 2,500-2,300y BP, 1,700-1,600y BP. There is a high frequency (18 events) of SST variability on the order of 1-3°C during a 10-50 year time resolution throughout the Holocene in the North Atlantic with no correlation to CO2.

@Erndea The oil companies didn't know what was going to happen in the 1970's. Nobody did, and frankly nobody does. They had done some scientific research and had constructed some models, which they correctly treated with caution. As everyone should do, as all the subsequent models have been shown not to work, and vary enormously in their output. The problem is you believe these climate models to be Truth Machines. They are not.

@Erndea Obviously someone forgot to tell the corals living in the most important coral bioregion, the East Asia Seas, with 30% of the world’s coral reefs, and containing the most diverse coral of the ‘Coral Triangle’. It shows no statistically significant net coral loss since records began. The East Asia region has the biggest human population living in close proximity to reefs, and is located in the Indo-Pacific Warm Pool – the hottest major water mass on earth. They couldn't have got the memo!
