Original: Oceans Set a Fourth Straight Monthly Heat Record in September as the U.S. and North America Log Their Warmest September Ever
Global oceans recorded their fourth consecutive month of record-high temperatures in September, according to the headline report, while the United States and North America as a whole experienced their warmest September ever documented. The findings point to continued intensification of ocean warming and unusually high land temperatures, adding to concerns among scientists about accelerating climate change and its effects on marine ecosystems, weather patterns, and extreme heat events worldwide.
