“There’s no ambiguity about the data,” said Gavin Schmidt, a climatologist and the director of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies. “So really, it’s a question of attribution.”
Understanding what specific physical processes are behind these temperature records will help scientists improve their climate models and better predict temperatures in the future.
Remember this is water, which has a much greater thermal capacity than air.
Yeah, I didnt mean its not much, but was sure the increase was higher (source: thoughts while taking shower hehe). Thx for clarifying!
