Scientists Now Asking: " Have we breached a climate tipping point?"
Scientists are grappling to understand the unprecedented phenomenon of extremely high sea surface temperatures in the global oceans, particularly in the Pacific and Atlantic. The surge in temperatures has raised concerns about whether human-caused heating has pushed the climate beyond a tipping point, but experts suggest it is likely a combination of natural and human factors. The change from La Niña to El Niño in the Tropical Pacific Ocean is a significant contributor, while persistent weather patterns and atmospheric pressure systems have also influenced ocean temperatures, resulting in both cooler and warmer regions across the Atlantic.
