This "climate science" is wholly unprepared to deal with reality. Here is the set up -
For over a year, surface temperatures in the Atlantic Ocean hit new highs, but that trend has reversed at record speed over the past few months, and nobody knows why.
In June, temperatures in the Atlantic were 2 to 5 degrees Fahrenheit (1 to 3 degrees Celsius) hotter than normal in much of the ocean, with some areas getting as much as 9 degrees F (5 degrees C) warmer than average. Those temperatures weren’t a one-off, as the Atlantic had regularly seen record-breaking levels since March 2023. That year marked the fourth in a row that the world’s oceans set new heat records.
Here is where it gets very sciency -
The hot water was partially a result of human-caused ("man-made" must be offensive to somebody now) climate change, but it was also due to a particularly strong El Niño in 2023 and 2024. But that system appears to have passed, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
So, they acknowledge that El Niño is a primary cause (no shit), and it started cooling when El Niño passed, but they still are clinging to the magical man-made climate change as a factor, even though these man-made effects disappeared along with El Niño.
It's always fun to watch these "scientists" try to deal with facts on the ground.

The Atlantic Is Cooling at a Mysteriously Fast Rate After Record Warmth
The sudden shift in water temperature is puzzling scientists.
