From Prof. Eliot Jacobson:
Wow! Wow! Wow!
North Atlantic sea surface temperature anomalies are going vertical again. And yes, I needed to extend the y-axis.
Yesterday’s temperature of 24.49°C (76.08°F) was 4.2σ above the 1991-2020 mean. The previous high for July 17 was 23.71°C (74.68°F) in 2020.

This looks like that “tipping point” that climatologists have been warning about
No, the GP is talking about proportional effects. A tipping point is some completely different thing.
This could easily be the effect of crossing a tipping point.
Right, the graph could be due to a tipping point. If that’s the case, none of what the parent post said applies, since the post is all about proportional effects.
EDIT: Hum, I think I’ve misread the OP. I though this was a reply to the post about delayed effects.
