Climate Change May Be Giving the World’s Oceans Amnesia
Climate change is making the world’s oceans lose their “memory,” according to new research.
A report in Science Advances finds that ocean temperatures are going to fluctuate drastically as these waters lose their ability to regulate and “remember” recent conditions, including temperatures. Water doesn’t literally have a memory, of course—no matter what homeopaths claim—but the large bodies that make up the global ocean tend to be steadfast. Unlike weather, which can change drastically by the day, changes in the ocean happen little by little, and the ability to maintain that stability is like a “memory” for the ocean.
It’s connected to the thickness of the upper layer of the ocean, also called the mixed layer. That section is predicted to become shallower with climate change. Research has shown that the mixed layer becomes smaller in the spring and summer when there are higher temperatures, and a warming climate means that seasonal heat is more intense and longer-lasting in many parts of the world. This could result in sea surface temperatures that fluctuate unusually. Researchers across several institutes, including the University of Hawaii, used climate models to calculate different outcomes based on either low, medium, or high greenhouse gas emissions. They found that ocean memory is likely to decline around the world by the end of this century.
Now, compare it to the previous Holocene warm periods. Any difference? How’d those warm periods happen?
They’re attacking Poseidon!
Conservatives deny the high specific heat of water!! LOL.

Models. And More models.
Every predication made has been based on models. And every predication has been wrong.
Here’s why:
“The most important thing to remember about climate models which are used to project future global warming is that they were “tuned” with the assumption I started this article with: that the climate system is in a natural state of energy balance, and that there is no long-term climate change unless humans cause it.
This is an arbitrary and illogical assumption. The climate system is an example of a “nonlinear dynamical system”, which means it can change all by itself. For example, slow changes in the rate of vertical overturning of the world’s oceans can cause global warming (or global cooling) with no “external forcing” of the climate system whatsoever.
Instead, the climate models are “tuned” to not produce natural climate change. If a 100-year run of the model produces change, the model is adjusted to removed the drift…….”
