Aumento global alarmante en la temperatura de la superficie del mar
May 8, 2024 - Los océanos del mundo rompieron récords de temperatura diariamente el año pasado, según el análisis de los datos más recientes del Servicio de Cambio Climático Copernicus de la UE.
Planet-warming climate change gases are the main culprit, although the El Niño natural weather event has also contributed to warmer seas.
Copernicus also confirms that April’s air temperature was the warmest on record, extending a consistent run of 11 straight months of heat records.
For decades, our oceans have been absorbing around 25% of human-made carbon dioxide and soaking up around 90% of the planet’s excess heat.
However, over the past year, the oceans have displayed concerning evidence that they are now struggling to cope.
