Why 2023 May be the Warmest Year on Record? El Nino and Marine Heat Waves!

Many scientists are stating that 2023 could be the globally warmest year on record. Climate Impact Company agrees. Why? Take a look at the International Multi-Model Ensemble (IMME) September 2023 global sea surface temperature anomaly forecast. The projection indicates evolution of a strong El Nino, at least 4 large marine heat waves (MHW), and a large swath of warmer than normal water just south of the polar ice cap.
