Scientists Alarmed by Recent and Rapid Ocean Warming Due to Climate Change

The world's oceans have recently and rapidly heated up, causing concern among scientists that it will contribute to global warming. The increase in ocean temperature, combined with other weather events, could lead to a concerning new level of global temperature by the end of next year. Warmer oceans can kill off marine life, lead to more extreme weather, raise sea levels, and are less efficient at absorbing greenhouse gases. The El Niño Southern Oscillation is also forming, which could have significant implications for global temperatures.
