https://www.nbcnews.com/science/climate-change/ocean-temperatures-hit-record-high-in-june-rcna352514Temperatures on the ocean surface hit a record high in June, European scientists warned Wednesday, fueling fears of more dangerous heat waves this summer and fanning concerns over the escalating global climate crisis.
Two separate services under the European Unions Copernicus Earth observation program the Copernicus Climate Change Service and the Copernicus Marine Service announced they had both independently confirmed the record temperatures.
Carlo Buontempo, director of the Copernicus Climate Change Service, warned that the rising temperatures could mark the beginning of a new phase.
With ocean temperatures at these levels and El Niño on the horizon, we are likely to see more temperature records fall in the coming months, Buontempo said in a statement Wednesday. El Niño is a naturally occurring climate cycle that sees the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean become warmer than usual for months at a time.

The problem with admitting climate change is real is that it collapses the rest of their mental universe-
1) That capitalism is good
2) That god is sheparding the human species and has a plan etc
3) That the left is always wrong
So theyd have to acknowledge their foundational beliefs are bullshit.
