Those ocean lines scare me. Higher ocean temperatures means wilder weather. More cyclones/hurricanes and with higher intensity. More dry spells and when it gets wet higher rainfalls (flooding). Land temperatures bad. Ocean temperatures scary.

That's because of how water absorbs energy. Those pink ocean lines represent far more energy being added to weather systems than the red lines on land.

My understanding was that most of the warming going on was in the ocean. Maybe what I'm thinking of is heat energy concentration rather than temperature changes though. I'd be curious what this graphic would look like measuring energy instead.
