Climate alarmists frequently claim that ocean temperatures are soaring at dangerous rates due to human-caused global warming. In recent reports, they cite record temperatures from 2023 as proof that humanity is dangerously altering our planet's oceans.

But how accurate is this alarming narrative? In this quick climate fact check, Linnea Lueken explains the gradual nature of ocean warming, noting a modest increase of only 0.7 degrees Celsius since 1880. She discusses natural phenomena like the end of the Little Ice Age and recurring El Niño events as significant drivers of ocean temperature variations, raising the important question: Are human CO2 emissions really responsible for ocean warming, or are natural forces playing a much larger role?

The Risks of Predicting Future Climate Changes

The Heartland Institute views April 2, 2025 5:09 pm

In this video, Linnea Lueken breaks down the often-misunderstood distinction between weather and climate. With media outlets and climate activists frequently misusing the terms interchangeably, this quick fact check aims to arm viewers with clear definitions to spot misleading claims about so-called "climate disasters."

Weather is what we experience daily—sunshine, rain, storms—while climate is a long-term average over decades. Linnea highlights how cherry-picking extreme weather events to "prove" climate change misrepresents the data. In fact, long-term trends show little to no increase in storm frequency or intensity despite modest warming. So why are we told every storm is a sign of climate catastrophe?
