In 2023, the Earth's ocean temperatures reached record highs, as explained by Stephanie Abrams, impacting global climate patterns. The 3-year frequency of major global hurricanes hit the lowest on record despite the year being the hottest in over 125,000 years. Climate researchers were caught off guard by the year's extreme temperatures, which deviated from typical human-driven climate change patterns. An area of the Pacific Ocean is unexpectedly cooling, causing significant local and global climate effects. Further insights on global tropical cyclones were discussed by RogerPielkeJr and JessicaWeinkle at The Honest Broker.
As global warming heats up the oceans, one part of the Pacific is unexpectedly cooling – with massive impacts on local and worldwide climates. https://t.co/1mFkDKzkeF
More on Global Tropical Cyclones at The Honest Broker @RogerPielkeJr w/@JessicaWeinkle on 2023 global landfalls. 2023 was a weird year -- more like another La Niña summer/fall than El Niño. 3-year total of Global Major Hurricanes at record low! https://t.co/f31tnBgKNt https://t.co/bu1J29zAwp
Climate and weather researchers weren’t expecting an exceptional year. But 2023 clocked in as the world’s hottest on record — a surprise to many scientists despite human-driven climate change’s longstanding link to higher temperatures worldwide. https://t.co/Li7SO5bIGj
Catching up on the 2023 Global Tropical Cyclone Activity and discovered an unbelievable statistic: In 2023, the 3-year frequency of global major hurricanes [simple counts] was the lowest on record! The shocking historical inactivity -- during hottest year in over 125,000 years… https://t.co/hkpTQxItzV
Great illustration of how warming ocean temps have worldwide effects. https://t.co/5TjC2AFNQk
Earth is in hot water… literally. Ocean temperatures reached record highs in 2023. @StephanieAbrams explains why that has a big impact on us all. https://t.co/zXFGO6x4FY
