The scientist expected it to not look like this, it is not due to the solar maximum, literally no one has any idea why the oceans are not cooling. The best idea we have is that something is different than it was a couple of years ago, but afaik no one has been able to pin down exactly what it is thats causing the surge in ocean temps. And this is in 2024, when the warming is supposed to be manageable, imagine it in 2100 and beyond. We are fucked, been fucked for years, we just pretend like we have some control over nature. Full system collapse around 2050 at the latest by most estimates, and thats the optimistic outlook on the future. The capitalist system might just keep grinding along, destroying everything and everyone in its path until there is nothing left to consume.
