Scientists issue dire message on warming oceans as carbon emissions rise. Our oceans are heating up quickly. In 2019, sea temperatures were the highest on record, about 0.075C above the 1981-2010 average. Warmer seas mean more intense storms, droughts, floods and wildfires. Oceans are the clearest measure of climate change since they absorb 90 percent of the worlds heat. The study is the latest warning on the climate crisis facing our planet.
