The dangerous effects of rising sea temperatures
Scientists warn that the world’s oceans are nearing their heat absorption limit, leading to record-high global sea surface temperatures. This has fueled heatwaves, melting sea ice, and a potentially intense hurricane season. June marked the 15th consecutive month of record-high sea temperatures, with Hurricane Beryl making history as the earliest maximum-severity storm on record. The oceans have played a crucial role in absorbing excess heat and carbon dioxide emissions, but are now at risk of reaching their limits in combating climate change.
