The remarkable concurrence of three dramatic climate events:

1. Antarctic sea ice extent now over 2 million kilometers below the 1991-2020 mean
2. global 2-meter surface temperatures breached the 1.5°C barrier for the third consecutive day
3. WTF is happening to the world’s oceans, and in particular the North Atlantic? Ocean temperatures have been setting unprecedented daily records, spiking to highs that are shocking climate scientists, as they look for possible reasons.
