- 1Oceans absorbing record heat, scientists warn▼“Transforming before our eyes”: ocean absorbing record heat
The world's oceans are absorbing record levels of heat, according to new findings highlighted by oceanographers, with researchers warning the ocean is 'transforming before our eyes'. Rising ocean heat content is a key indicator of climate change, driving warmer sea temperatures, marine heatwaves and stress on marine ecosystems. Observers say the latest measurements underscore how rapidly the planet's warming is accelerating.
