The authors speculated that the increase in OHC could have factored into extreme weather events like the increased number of wildfires and floods.

"In 2022, the world's oceans, as given by OHC, were again the hottest in the historical record and exceeded the previous 2021 record maximum," a group of global warming experts wrote in a new report for the journal Advances in Atmospheric Sciences.

From Salon

Increasing OHC causes sea level rise through thermal expansion of the water and melting of glaciers in contact with the ocean, and contributes to “marine heat waves” that kill coral reefs and disrupt atmospheric circulation patterns.

From Scientific American

He added, "Hurricanes are natural, but climate change is supercharging them! The observed increases of upper OHC support higher sea surface temperatures and atmospheric moisture, and fuels tropical storms to become more intense, bigger and longer lasting, thereby increasing their potential for damage. Sea level is also steadily rising, increasing risks from coastal storm surges. The damage and loss of life from such storms does not have to be disastrous, however, if there is adequate preparation."

From Salon

He plucks out of context a sentence about OHC while ignoring the central argument we are making about that indicator—which is that if most of the heat is going into the oceans and we now have substantially better ways to measure OHC then why not use that measure.
