"Professor #MichaelMann, from the Department of Earth and Environmental Science at the #UniversityOfPennsylvania, claims that 👉local weather factors [1], climate change and reduced #Saharan dust [sand] are all helping drive the sudden increase in ocean heat.👈
The change is most noticeable in the #NorthAtlantic Ocean, 👉but other bodies of water are seeing marine heatwaves of their own.👈

"👉Typically, volcanic eruptions cool the surface of the earth👈 in the same way as extra #sulphur #emissions from #ships – it shades the surface of the earth. "

The next 7 years until the end of the #SoaringTwenties, in particular the first half, could see 👉exceptionally high global #temperatures exacerbating the #ClimateCrisis.👈
On top of the principle cause of #GlobalWarming, the "standard" #antropogenic #GreenhouseGases, #CarbonDioxixide (#CO2) and #Methane (#CH4), there is a combination of 3 more causes which could turbo-charge the #GlobalThermostate:

I am asking myself:
Could humanity be on the advent of experiencing a real-life simulation of what it means for the globe if temperatures rise above the +1.5°C target?
What are the three booster components?
The first one is #antropogenic and is here to stay:

Since then, the 👉skies over #shipping lanes have cleared substantially.👈"
Should be good news, right?
Well, for the prevention of the scourge of #forests, #AcidRain, it is.
Not so for #GlobalWarming, as we will see.
Let's move on to the two natural causes of our "climatic turbo boost," both recurring from...
