Why bother with one specific location?
The water temperature in Nova Scotia and Halifax is not far from normal anyway. Why single out one location as if this has any impact on global ocean temperature?
Well Nova Scotia is part of the "Grand Banks" a very shallow part of the Atlantic ocean... Not a small location. And... if this shallow area is cooler... it is worth mentioning because usually shallows warm quicker.
The other item in the article that is note worthy is that we had a cooler winter..
This is not just singling out one location and an anomaly.
The global ocean temperature is what matters to climate scientists and the rest of the world.
Exactly. That is the most important thing to follow... NOT CO2. The oceans are massive and their density is what drives our world wide climate.
Water will remove heat from your body at a rate 25 times that of air. This means that you can get hypothermia in a bathtub of water.
Now, the temperature of the oceans are determined by the intensity of the sun and the number of hours of sunlight. The amount of cloud cover and the amount of wind.
Then, these ocean temperatures control the temperature of the masses of air above them...
This is what drives the global weather. Ocean temps and prevailing winds.
NOT CO2. CO2 only makes up 0.04% of the atmosphere... Hardly competition for the massive amounts and depths of the water on this earth.
For some reason you seem to be concerned about specific outliers in the data, rather than observing the global trends.
Actually the climate cult religion of "climate change" takes any little token oddity in the climate and attaches it to the scaremongering of the farce they are trying to perpetuate.
Anything from heavy snow, rain, drought.... cold snaps and warm periods... all are touted as evidence of this hoax.
Not only that but it is known that some areas are hotter and some are colder than seasonal norms.... all the time... but... all we hear is "climate change" and global temperature increases.... Many sources now deny that. The hockey stick was a fabrication...
We just came out of a solar maximum and are heading into a solar minimum...
Look out for higher taxes to pay for snow removal and road maintenance.
