EU ocean report finds seas hotter and 17% more acidic

Original: Ocean State report by EU’s Copernicus Marine programme. Hotter, 17% more acidic in 40 years, on Spain sized chunk of Arc

The EU's Copernicus Marine programme has published its tenth Ocean State Report, finding that over 40 years the ocean has grown hotter and 17% more acidic. The report also documents a chunk of Arctic sea ice the size of Spain lost per decade, along with Mediterranean marine heatwaves.

Why now: The report's stark findings on ocean warming, acidification and Arctic ice loss are drawing attention to accelerating climate change.
