I read that and instantly assumed they are modifying data again.
Using junk science again to scare people into their agenda.
Funny thing - the article sources 'data' from a thread off tweets, but it doesn't include this little nugget:
Since the 101.1°F Manatee Bay measurement was taken near land, contamination of the measurement by land effects and organic matter in the water might be invalidate the record, when compared to the 99.7°F reading in the middle of Kuwait Bay.
This is yet another bad reading by a poorly-located weather station. A buoy that takes surface temperature readings does not provide good data on the overall water temperature. It's the equivalent of a weather station sitting on an asphalt taxiway in an airport.
Yes.
I'm pretty sure that open water can't rise above ambient air temperature unless there's a volcano down there.
Anything below the surface can't. Sunlight and lack of a cooling factor from a breeze can allow the very top to exceed the actual air temperature, but it's not a true measurement of water temperature. They do that on purpose, as I'm sure you know.
Yep. Too predictable.
A Styrofoam cup instantly melts when it goes near a campfire. If there is water in that same cup, the water basically has to evaporate out of the cup before the cup can melt.
Summer can be hot sometimes. winter can be cold. Sheeeit.
