Ocean warming is accelerating, not just gradually increasing!
The research indicates that global mean sea surface temperature (GMSST) is rising faster than previously thought. The rate of increase has risen from 0.06 Kelvin per decade (1985-1989) to 0.27 Kelvin per decade (2019-2023). EEA-based model fits the data much better than linear models. Therefore, linear extrapolations of GMSST are likely to underestimate future warming.
