Ocean Warming Is
Accelerating Faster
Than Estimated Compared to a UN panel
estimate from five years ago,
researchers have found a
40% increase in oceans heating. Their findings were
published in the
journal Science. Zeke Hausfather, study co-author, Berkeley Earth, via 'The New York Times' The oceans absorb
and store almost all
of the Earth's excess heat. Researchers believe
this has slowed the effects
of climate change caused by
human created greenhouse gasses. Malin L. Pinsky, Rutgers University, via 'The New York Times' Warming oceans
waters kill off marine-life, raise sea levels and help to create
more catastrophic hurricanes. Zeke Hausfather, study co-author, Berkeley Earth, via 'The New York Times' The researchers believe
that current efforts to
curb global warming will
help to avoid "worst-case outcomes."
