I don't know anything about "MNN" or whether it's a leftist rag (it probably is). It's just a cool video that shows the world's ocean currents, which I've never seen before.

First time I’ve seen it, too, and it’s a keeper

Better than a lava lamp ☺

Why does the article say JPL but the end of the video says Goddard? “Enquiring minds want to know!”

Sloppy writing.. JPL was probably mentioned in the root article, but in association with the root software that was developed to try to explain the observations of Jupiter. JPL is unmanned interplanetary missions, Goddard is unmanned orbital missions.

Whole lot of swirling going on. Transferring any significant amounts of atmospheric heat back into the cooling oceans to keep the 33 degree C figure just about on beam for thousands and thousands of years on end.
