TL;DR Summary

Global ocean temperatures have surged in recent months, raising concerns about a potential shift in climate patterns that could accelerate planetary warming and exacerbate extreme weather events. Scientists suspect that the transition to the El Niño climate pattern is behind the warming trend, which could have devastating effects on marine life, coastal communities, and weather patterns around the world. The spike in ocean temperatures follows a decades-long trend of rising heat in the world's oceans, which have absorbed 90% of the excess heat in the Earth's system due to rising greenhouse gas emissions.
