In how far can large areas of extreme sea surface temperature anomalies couple with the atmosphere in such a way that self reinforcing and self stabilizing characteristics emerge?

This provides both a strong indication of a higher aerosol forcing (change) and a higher climate sensitivity (mainly from stronger cloud feedbacks).
If the aerosol forcing isn't stronger than in CMIP6 models, NASA CERES data indicates that ECS could be >6°C‼️

It's been quite something to see one of the world's leading climate scientists, James Hansen, being vilified the past years for presenting data showing the rapid acceleration of global and regional warming, associated with continued greenhouse gas emissions and rapid reduction of air pollution.

When global temperatures shot up by ~6°C about 56 million years ago, plants were unable to thrive

56 million years ago, the Earth suddenly heated up – and many plants stopped working properly
It could be a sign of what’s to come.

That dip in the early 1990's is due to Mt. Pinatubo.
