Austin, Doug, fellow Listers -
I'm following this thread - and the emerging situation in Florida and the
Gulf of California - with increasing dread. It seems one additional factor
is adding to the brew, on top of the unusual weather pattern in the past
weeks, the Tonga eruption, an El Nino that is kicking in, and GHG
concentrations in general: a reduction in ship emissions over the past 2
years, leading to less cloud formation and increasing solar heating of the
sea surface.

ngineering-fueling-record-ocean-warmth. Apparently a perfect storm
(ironically, since a near-hit storm may be the best thing to hope for right
now...).
Regards, Sebastian
