The following message came directly from the White House:
Meanwhile, Sahar Tartak, a Jewish student journalist at Yale University, was assaulted while reporting on an anti-Israeli protest. She was stabbed in the eye with a Palestinian flag and faced intimidation from demonstrators. Despite reporting the incident to campus police, she was told they couldn't intervene.
Don Gaddes says
As the Solar-induced Dry Cycles orbit the Earth from East to West, (at 15 degrees of Longitude per 30 Day/Night Interval) ; the destruction of water vapour Albedo in the upper atmosphere by the bombardment of the resultant charged Solar Particles, causes temperatures to rise under the path of the Dry Cycles. These temperatures reduce again after the Dry Cycle passes, thus the progressive fluctuating temperatures.
The next Dry Cycles to affect the planet, will be a Regional Dry Cycle,(of Two Year duration), starting from 50 degrees East Longitude, (circa Madagascar) in early August, 2024 – followed by a Minor Dry Cycle, (of One Year duration), starting from 140 degrees East Longitude,(circa Melbourne Australia) in early November 2026.
This will mean severe and prolonged Drought conditions for Africa and Europe starting from Early August 2024.
As both these Dry Cycles start to the West of Australia’s East Coast, the temperatures will remain cooler on the Barrier Reef until January 2026.

I recall Alex S. Gaddes quoting Thomas Huxley on Nature to me Jennifer. You must not become disillusioned by it all. The Conservationist will become more important as the
current crop of climate charlatans (and their fantasies), fade into deserved obscurity, to be replaced by observed reality.

Hi Jennifer
Such a delight to have such good information that is plebs can digest and counter the narrative we see on main stream media leftist governments
Thank you. Karl Penna. Mapleton

Thanks for those fascinating facts re water temps, Jen.
And it is hard to believe that these “experts” have such an objection to going underwater to observe the true state of the corals. Especially when their current errors are so similar to their past ones.
David Houghton says
The real data on water temperatures show the alarmists, as usual, are over-hyping the situation. However, even if there is general warming around the globe it does not prove the so-called greenhouse gases, CO2 and CH4, are the cause. Consistently, the alarmists confuse correlation with causation even though there is abundant evidence to show these gases are not the driver of global temperatures or, even more fanciful, of changes to the climate.

It is just unbelievable that so called government and academic scientists can get away with such fabrications. Jennifer provides evidence of no or little ocean warming but still the lie continues.
For me the real issue is what warms the oceans. CO2 radiation, IFR, cannot heat the ocean, so even if the oceans were warming it would not be due to CO2.
Don Gaddes says
Jennifer, you are correct in your assessment of Sea Surface Temperatures – and the assertion that the ‘surface’ warms the atmosphere – but it becomes a little more complex when one considers the role of Albedo,(Reflectivity) on the amount of Sunlight reaching the surface – and how much is reflected back into Space by water vapour (clouds,) or various aerosol particles, (eg, volcanic activity, or wind-blown dust etc.) Also, a considerable amount of heat is absorbed by various ‘dark’ or semi-reflective surface features, both marine and terrestrial. So, temperature is primarily dependent on Albedo. Sea Surface Temperatures are not a reliable predictor, as they depend on many other factors, such as changing currents, winds and tides. Remember also, the Earth only spins from West to East – the purported movement of ‘El Nino’ from East to West via Sea Surface Temperatures would seem impossible.

Coming from Jennifer’s admirable post of today, 2024 Apr 15, in an email. Just taking the opportunity to do some chatting.
Jennifer writes: “If the surface of the ocean is on average warmer than the atmosphere immediately above it, then the direction of heat transfer must be ocean to atmosphere. This is certainly the case in the tropics, driving atmospheric circulation.”
I fully agree with the above remark by Jennifer. I would like to comment a little:
In thermodynamics, heat transfer is one of just three main forms of energy transfer: as heat, as work, and accompanying matter transfer. According to good authority (Max Born, Edward Guggenheim), energy transfer accompanying matter transfer cannot be resolved into heat and work components, at least in classical thermodynamics. In non-equilibrium thermodynamics, people try to do it, but they are probably over-optimistic.
Heat transfer is by conduction, radiation, and friction.
The main energy transfer from ocean to atmosphere is accompanying matter transfer, perhaps about 4/5 of the net total transfer, known as evaporation (this is the principal component feedback of the process considered as caused by added CO2).
Smaller amounts are by radiation, conduction, and friction. Energy transfer, through the kinetic energy of wind, does some mechanical work on the ocean, which eventually appears as heat in the sea (such transfer is sometimes said to be a reason for saying that the earth’s energy transport process is like a “heat engine”; I don’t like that story; I think it is too metaphorical: the energy ends up as heat if you consider the wave motion to be frictional.) There will also be simple friction between wind and wave; I don’t know how this pans out as a net frictional transfer one way or the other.
Jennifer is wise to say that “this is certainly the case in the tropics”. That says the main thing. There is also a small contributory back transfer as heat from atmosphere to sea or ice in the polar winter. And yes, importantly, it is “driving atmospheric circulation” (classified in thermodynamics as convective circulation of matter).
It is also important to remember so-called ‘back radiation’. Radiative transfer between two bodies is the net of two one-way transfer components, according to the Helmholtz reciprocity principle. The net is always from the hotter to the colder body; this is part of the burden of the second law of thermodynamics, referring to radiation. The mainly relevant part of the atmosphere is the troposphere, which is mainly colder than the surface. (As a fine point, it is not just the temperature of the immediately contiguous atmosphere; the atmosphere is semi-transparent to infrared radiation, so that its whole temperature and moisture profile is to be considered.) The overall net radiative transfer between condensed matter surface and atmosphere pans out to be about perhaps 3% of emitted infrared radiation from surface to atmosphere. We cannot be sure of the exact amount, because it is hard to define or know the temperatures of the surface and of the nearly contiguous atmosphere, and other things, such as the emissivity of the surface.

“New data shows the Great Barrier Reef has suffered through its worst-ever heat stress with more than 80% of reefs enduring dangerous levels of heating (more than 4 Degree Heating Weeks), as scientists grapple to quantify the irreparable, cumulative damage from repeated such events.
Surveys show widespread coral bleaching affecting an area likened in size to the land burned during the Black Summer fires. Marine scientists have reported coral bleaching at greater depths of the ocean than previously recorded, and centuries-old corals succumbing to the extreme heat.
Reports from the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (GBRMPA), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in the United States, and other experts show that:
The Great Barrier Reef as a whole has been subject to a greater level of heat stress than during any of the previous six mass bleaching events (See Figure 1).
Almost half (46%) of the individual reefs that form the Great Barrier Reef experienced record heat stress. (Based on analysis of data from NOAA Coral Reef Watch.)
More than 60% of individual reefs across the Great Barrier Reef have shown “prevalent bleaching” (GBRMPA – Reef Health Update, 12 April 2024).

Yet Jennifer has shown NO increase in ocean temperature.
And CO2 does not heat water.
