The news is bad but the data visualization is good.

The sea surface temperature is too damn high.

@davidho I am not a scientist, someone kindly explain why there's such a huge jump between this year and last year, and between 2023 and 2022
@pinkdrunkenelephants @davidho There is no high jump between December 2023 and January 2024, they just continue to get warmer.
@nyca @davidho No no, like look at the whole year's line for 2023 and compare it to what happened so far this year. There is a clear and stark difference in height.
@pinkdrunkenelephants @davidho Sure, since 2023 broke all records and it continues to get warmer.
