The Earth’s oceans have reached a record-breaking high in global water surface temperature, with approximately 90% of the heat generated by greenhouse gases being absorbed by the oceans. While the average temperature increase over the last century is about one degree Celsius, extreme heat events are causing significant deviations, such as tropical Pacific temperatures being six degrees above normal. These warming oceans impact global weather patterns, leading to changes in rainfall and drought, and affect marine ecosystems by causing fish to migrate towards the poles, disrupting the food chain.
