That’s not as hot as a warm bath, but it is hottest the world’s oceans have been since European Union’s Copernicus #ClimateChange Service (C3S) started keeping records in 1979.
The new high also reflects the fact that we are heading into an exceptionally strong #ElNiño year.

“As a climate scientist, this is not surprising to me all,” says Zachary Labe, a climate scientist at #Climate Central. “It’s consistent with decades of research showing how our climate is changing as the planet warms. And without reductions in the burning of #fossilfuels, this warming will only continue.”
