“There’s no ambiguity about the data,” said Gavin Schmidt, a climatologist and the director of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies. “So really, it’s a question of attribution.”

Understanding what specific physical processes are behind these temperature records will help scientists improve their climate models and better predict temperatures in the future.

      Water needs x4 energy of what air needs to increase the same amount of temperature iirc, so… In air differences it’s almost 2°C at some points and almost 1 at others, it’s super worrying.
