Unprecedented warming in the North Atlantic has startled some researchers. While global warming is the underlying cause, a variety of other factors are at play.
An undersea volcano in Tonga shot millions of tons of water vapor into the atmosphere, which might warm the Earth’s surface over the next few years.
The regulations, ordered by the International Maritime Organization in 2020, reduced the upper limit of sulfur in fuels from 3.5% to 0.5% in an effort to achieve cleaner air in ports and coastal areas. “It is being speculated that this is part of the reason why we’re seeing such record breaking global ocean temperatures and atmospheric temperatures right now,” he said.
Instead, he said, a lack of Saharan dust — possibly linked to weakened trade winds from the burgeoning El Niño — could be impacting temperatures on short timescales. The dust normally has a cooling impact on the area, and the lack of dust “probably does help to explain the observed anomaly.”
