Climate change is speeding up, study of ocean warming reveals

Earth’s oceans are getting warmer at an accelerating rate, researchers find — indicating that climate change is speeding up too.

The scientists found that ocean warming has more than quadrupled over the past 40 years and is likely to accelerate even faster in the future. The researchers published their findings in a new study published Tuesday (Jan. 28) in the journal Environmental Research Letters.

The rate of sea surface temperature warming has risen from 0.1 degrees Fahrenheit (0.06 degrees Celsius) per decade in the 1980s to 0.5 F (0.27 C) per decade today. The team’s modeling suggests that this amount of accelerated warming will occur again in the next two decades and accelerate by an even greater margin if we don’t address the causes of climate change and move away from fossil fuels, according to the study.

And there it is: models. Not data, models. And, look, even if it is accelerating, that doesn’t mean anthropogenic causation: just warming. But, since this is a cult, there’s no need to prove anything.

Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal runs this piece by Barton Swaim

Why Climate-Change Ideology Is Dying

Momentous social movements begin to die the moment adherents figure out their leaders don’t believe what they say. Liberal Protestantism’s long decline started in the 1950s, when congregants began to wonder if their ministers still believed the old creeds (they didn’t). Communism dies wherever it’s tried because sooner or later the proletariat realize their self-appointed champions aren’t particularly interested in equality. Many sects and cults dwindle the moment their supposedly ascetic leaders are revealed to be libertines.

Something similar is happening to climate ideology.

For three decades you were labeled a crank, a “climate denier,” someone who pigheadedly rejects “settled science,” if you didn’t embrace the belief that life on earth faces imminent extinction from “global warming” and, later, “climate change.” The possibility that an entire academic discipline, climate science, could have gone badly amiss by groupthink and self-flattery wasn’t thought possible. In many quarters this orthodoxy still reigns unquestioned.

It’s a much longer piece which you can read in full by going to the Internet Archive and putting the link. Regardless, Swaim makes a good case, but, I have news: it will never die. The cultists will not let it. It will keep coming back. The disciples will make sure their voices are heard since the news media is on their side, along with politicians. They will never stop.
