ABSTRACTThe long-term North Atlantic Cold Anomaly (Cold Blob, CB) was largely defined by three major episodes of low sea surface temperature (SST) in the subpolar North Atlantic in 1972–1974, 1984–1985 and 1991–1994. Without these cold periods, there would have been no CB. Each of these episodes correlated with unusually low SST at the Flemish Cap (a subsurface island of the Canadian continental shelf) and with periods of high sea ice cover over the deep basin of the Labrador Sea a year earlier.

January 2025 was the hottest on record, reaching a whole 1.7 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. If many climate watchers expected the world to cool slightly this year, thanks to the natural La Niña phenomenon, the climate itself didn’t seem to get the memo. In fact, January 2025’s record heat highlights how human-driven ocean warming is increasingly overwhelming these natural climate patterns.

Janeiro de 2025 foi o mais quente já registrado — 1,7 °C acima dos níveis pré-industriais. Se muitos observadores do clima esperavam que o mundo esfriasse um pouco este ano graças ao fenômeno natural "La Niña", o clima em si não pareceu entender. Na verdade, o calor recorde de janeiro de 2025 destaca como o aquecimento do oceano causado pelo homem está cada vez mais sobrecarregando esses padrões climáticos naturais.

The latest record-breaking heat will have alarm bells ringing over the way rising temperatures appear to be 'overwhelming' natural climate cycles January 2025 was the hottest on record - a whole 1.7C above pre-industrial levels. If many climate-watchers expected the world to cool slightly this year thanks to the natural 'La Niña' phenomena, the...
