I, I will say like La Niña in 2023, where we had a fifth wettest winter of all time here at my location, you can chalk that up to like the fact that like, yes, the Eastern Pacific was cool, but ocean basins-- like oceans, the ocean has uptaken most of the heat from humans' activities, right, over the past 100 f- all of our industrial activities since 1895.

The ocean has uptaken like 90% of that output of carbon dioxide, and so it, it's, the ocean's accumulating all this heat, and the ocean's overturning cycles are over many years, sometimes over decades, and so heat gets released in these cycles.

They are overheating, so many of them, from the Arctic to the Mediterranean to the North Pacific.
