Study: Heat content of world’s oceans hits highest record in 2022 The study, which looked at temperatures from the ocean surface to 2,000 metres deep, examined data from the 1950s and found that ocean warming is getting increasingly fast.
The research, published on Wednesday, was done by an international team of scientists from 16 institutes worldwide.
The study, which looked at temperatures from the ocean surface to 2,000 metres deep, examined data from the 1950s and found that ocean warming is getting increasingly fast.It mentioned that the five hottest years for oceans all happened in the past six years, adding that this is made worse by human activities of pumping heat-trapping gases into the atmosphere.
“We find that the oceans are continuing to warm globally, with yet another new 0–2000 m ocean heat content record reached in 2022.“The inexorable climb in ocean temperatures is the inevitable outcome of Earth’s energy imbalance, primarily associated with increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases.
