The world's oceans absorbed a record amount of heat in the past year, equivalent to roughly 40 times humanity's total annual energy use. Scientists link the thermal buildup to accelerating sea level rise and ongoing ocean acidification, underscoring the continuing intensification of climate change and its growing impact on marine ecosystems and coastal communities worldwide.
Why now: The record ocean heat measurement highlights the accelerating pace of climate change and its measurable consequences.
