More and more research is demonstrating this, that OHC is major factor causing melting of ice sheets, far more so than changes in wind (speed, direction, etc) or aerosols.

If Deep Ocean Heat is really a thing, and not a hoax, doesn't this show East Antarctica being the most vulnerable? Even if it's a bigger ice cube, there seems to be more water surrounding it directly.
At the end of the first quarter of 2024, we can already make a cautious conclusion regarding the expected average temperature in 2024:
Close to 2°C (vs 1850-1900)!
This is based on the current CO2 trend, current ocean temperatures & current sea ice status.

Kris Van Steenbergen Uhh, you haven't underestimated them. You've been telling us about them for years.
Oh, wait. This is a message for the public as well as ineffective politicians. They didn't listen, and in fact have put in place policies that continue our dependence on fossil fuels.
Yikes.
This is surely the most important research in the past 10 years, with a number of very serious findings regarding the very rapid response of the oceanic climate system:
First tipping point regarding heat transfer & CO₂ absorption.
