Climate Crisis (scam) Now Blamed For Killer Cold Ocean Outbreaks

No matter the question the answer is always “climate change!” Even when it makes no sense

How climate change could be driving ‘killer’ cold outbreaks in oceans

It’s not just ocean heat that’s affecting marine life – new research shows extremely cold events are welling up and causing mass mortalities. And the same planet-warming pollution that’s driving the climate crisis is likely to blame for these “killer events” on the other end of the temperature spectrum. (snip)

But even as ocean temperatures climb, extremely cold upwelling events — when strong winds and ocean currents bring pockets of cold water up to the surface, replacing the warm water that was there — are also becoming more frequent and intense, threatening sea life, according to the study published Monday in the journal Nature Climate Change.

“Climate change is actually really complex,” said Nicolas Lubitz, lead author of the study and a researcher at James Cook University in Queensland, Australia. “It’s not just warming of the globe, but it’s really changing the way our oceans function.”

Right, right, warming is also causing cooling. I remember back in the early 80’s when we went out for dawn patrol, knowing the waves would be awesome from an offshore nor’easter. Except, it also dredged up deep, cold water, and, it was cold enough you needed gloves and headgear to surf. Fricking mid-40’s water in July. Yeah, we went home and I went back to sleep. Was that because you or your parents drove fossil fueled vehicles?

What I’m not seeing in the article is any scientific proof that this is linked to either man-caused or natural climate change. It’s something that does happen periodically, it’s just that a big even happened. Nor is it shown that climate change of either type is responsible, just that words have to be included to get news coverage.
