oh dear Jopo, i know comprehension isn’t your strong suite, but i never knew you were this challenged.

something looks like it’s gone seriously awry, so just to help you along (again) try to understand this part of the global climate report for October issued earlier this month by NASA. (PS, look for a number 0.98 and then tell me which counting number that is near.)

oh, BTW, if you cross paths with your co-conspirator Tee47, could you please tell him/her/it there’s no sign yet of ocean cooling. But relax, whenever it happens it’s sure to be one month closer now than from a month ago.

NASA:

“The combined global land and ocean surface temperature departure from average for October 2019 was the second highest for October in the 140-year record at 0.98°C (1.76°F) above the 20th century average 14.0°C (57.1°F). This value is just 0.06°C (0.11°F) shy of tying the record warm October set in 2015.

“The 10 warmest Octobers have occurred since 2003; however, the five warmest Octobers have all occurred since 2015. The Octobers in 2015, 2018, and 2019 were the only Octobers with a land and ocean temperature departure from average above +0.90°C (+1.62°F).

“This was also the 43rd consecutive October and the 418th consecutive month with temperatures, at least nominally, above the 20th century average.

“The global land-only surface temperature was 1.46°C (2.63°F) above average and the second highest on record, trailing behind 2015 by 0.03°C (0.05°F).

“The global ocean-only surface temperature was also second highest on record at 0.80°C (1.44°F) above average. October 2015 had a higher global ocean temperature departure anomaly of 0.87°C (1.57°F).”
