I continue chatting on the new “BLOB”, this voracious spot of very high water temperatures in the North Pacific Ocean, otherwise known as a Marine Heat Wave (MHW). As abrupt climate change accelerates, the heating is highly non uniform across the planet. Most people know that Arctic Warming is 3x to 5x faster than the global average, but not that:
land is warming 2x faster than oceans
mountain regions 2x to 3x faster
western ocean boundary currents 2x to 3x faster than the overall ocean,
