The world’s oceans last year reached the highest temperature ever recorded, and the rate at which they are warming is speeding up, according to a newstudy.
The ocean temperature last year was about 0. (degrees Celsius (0.) degrees Fahrenheit) above the 1981 – 2018 average, the research published in the Chinese journal Advances in Atmospheric Sciences said on Tuesday.

Oceans heating up faster than expected, set record in*************** This measured ocean warming is irrefutable and is further proof. of global warming, “said Cheng Lijing, the paper’s lead author and associate professor at the Institute of Atmospheric Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
“There are no reasonable alternatives aside from the human emissions of heat-trapping gases to explain this heating,” Cheng said.
[7/9] Ocean seems far away from many people but it is linked to everyone: the ocean covers (******************************************************************% of the Earth surface and contains ~ (****************************************************% of the water on our planet. It is a key component of the climate system (together with atmosphere, land and cryosphere) that we depend on.

The study also found that ocean temperatures are increasing at an accelerating rate – from (to) **************************************************, the rate of warming was four and a half times faster than it was between 1955 and 2018.
According to the researchers, people can work to reverse their effect on the climate, but the ocean will take longer to respond than atmospheric and land environments.
“Ocean warming will continue even if the global mean surface temperature can be stabilized at or below 2 degrees Celcius,” Cheng said.
“Therefore, mitigation and adaption are both needed,” he added.
Since (******************************************************, more than percent of global warming heat has gone into the oceans, while Less than 4 percent went into land and atmosphere.
