The world’s oceans hit their warmest level in recorded history in 2019, according to a new study. “The amount of heat we have put in the world’s oceans in the past 25 years equals to 3.6 billion Hiroshima atom bomb explosions,' author of the study says.
"Oceans are the biggest reservoir of heat and therefore the best indicator of climate change," Abraham said."If you want to know how fast the Earth is warming, look at the oceans."
Harvey unleashed more than 60 inches of rain over southeastern Texas in 2017, and scientists have saidWarmer oceans also expand and melt ice, speeding the rise in sea levels and increasing the risk to coastal communities and low-lying infrastructure, said Nick Bond, a professor of atmospheric sciences at the University of Washington in Seattle, who wasn't involved with the new study. According to the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, average global sea levels could rise by 0.
"There are going to be winners and losers, but we don't know how that will all play out," he said."It's a very complicated system, and we don't fully understand which species will have to shift their range, which ones may go extinct or which ones may prosper."
