What’s happened is that too many people have noticed that the air and the land temperatures have stopped increasing, especially at anything near the accelerating CO2 trend line and now they have switched gears to focus on the ocean temps.

These temps, covering some 71% of the globe’s surface are even easier to assign mysterious effects to as they have no continuous coverage contradicting any ‘new’ data from the ‘latest’ report which starts the sequence of discovery, adjustment and conclusion all over again.

A moving target is hard to fix both sights and markers on.

Circulation patterns and peripheral effects from ocean temperature shifts have always been treated as natural events not influenced by the general atmosphere above.

Water freezes and water melts depending on where water finds itself.

Hundreds of years ago, Greenland was habitable and parts of it arable. There's the old tale that Eric the Red discovered Iceland, which was volcanic and a good place to inhabit and Greenland which was less so but still accomodating. Old Eric manipulated the names for the Vikings' benefit by discouraging settlement in Iceland and tricking others to seek marginal Greenland.

It worked for the longest time until in 1941, the USAF settled there at Thule.
