The map here is as “sea surface temperature anomaly,” and is described as follows:
The Atlantic Ocean basin is facing unprecedented conditions in 2024. A severe marine heatwave has developed in the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, and off Florida’s coast, with water temperatures reaching the low 90s. The Florida Keys and the Bahamas are under a bleaching warning due to record-high temperatures, stressing coral reefs and marine ecosystems. Some areas are 5-8°F above normal.
Nearly the entire tropical Atlantic is experiencing a marine heatwave. These record temperatures will fuel stronger hurricanes. A 2°F rise in sea temperatures can increase hurricane wind speeds by over 13%, potentially turning a 140 mph Category 4 hurricane into a 160 mph Category 5, tripling the damage potential.
With La Niña creating favorable conditions for hurricane development, NOAA has issued its most aggressive hurricane season forecast on record for 2024.

Here’s a short video from Elle Cordova that reminds us that science is something of a rarity in human history.

The great tyrants of history have done their best to cause the people they ruled to reject science, simply to ensure the masses are ignorant, terrified, superstitious, and thus easily controlled.

The current political administration is particularly engrossed in the rejection of science.  I wonder why.
