Doesn't matter where the chart came from, most charts are consistent with the fact that water temperatures change from year to year.

I am not trying to pick on you, I am stating fact. What is relevant about this article is the hypothesis that the blooms and how well they do in any particular year that the number one driving force...water temperature...is no longer a leading indicator.

Now that you seem to understand that this article didn't set out to disprove anything other than things have changed regarding what drives the success of these blooms, I do though find it ironic that you totally miss the point that the reasons for the boom blooms the article attributes to man made climate change, just not in the way of increasing ocean water temperatures significantly.
