A government scientist and two civilian scientists discuss the matter.
They also speculate a bit about what caused the unexpected and unusually large jump in global temperature.
Since the measurements presented in previous Dredd Blog posts indicate that the deepest ocean layer, the Hadopelagic, has warmed up to the point of being warmer than the ocean layer above it, the Abyssopelagic, I am going to offer a speculation (hypothesis) too.
I hypothesize or speculate that warmth (ocean heat - potential enthalpy) in the form of photons is being emitted from the oceans and/or atmospheric heat is not being absorbed as efficiently as it has been in the past because the oceans have reached a saturation point whereby they can no longer absorb and disperse visible-light photons or infrared photons as readily as they have been able to in the past.
Of course this is not a uniform phenomenon happening the same in every ocean, instead, each ocean is impacted in accord with its own ecosystem characteristics.
If you care to read up on the concept of The Photon Current you can do so here on Dredd Blog: The Photon Current, 2, 3, 4.
