The temperatures of the world’s oceans are hitting record highs, with far-reaching consequences for marine life, storm intensity, and sea levels.
In the warmer conditions, the snapping was 20 decibels louder, which equates to being ten times as loud, explained Wood Hole's Mooney. "It's already pretty loud" Overall, ocean temperatures have risen by about 2 F over the last 100 years, so each season, whether summer or winter, ...
How we know sea levels are rising Satellites have revolutionized our ability to measure changing sea levels. That's because the sprawling oceans — influenced by the likes of varying temperatures, geography, ocean currents, and tides in disparate places — make it enormously difficult to measure ho...
Tropical cyclones, like typhoons and hurricanes, are unlikely to occur more frequently because of climate change, but theproportion of extremeones is rising, according to the IPCC. Large amounts of water held in the atmosphere and the energy created by the warmer temperatures in the air will ma...
Why do ocean temperatures remain relatively constant? Why is ocean warming important? Why is ocean salinity so high in the subtropical gyres? Why are there no tides in the Mediterranean Sea? Why are there larger waves in the Antarctic Ocean?
The fish are then eaten by bigger animals like whales and sharks. It's when oceans become polluted with runoff that the amount of phytoplankton can escalate to unhealthy levels. Phytoplankton feed on the pollutants, flourish and die, sinking to the bottom to decompose in a process ...

Forests emit large quantities of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), with these emissions increasing with rising temperatures. VOCs react chemically in the atmosphere, affecting theconcentrations of methane and ozone, which are also greenhouse gases. We find the enhanced VOC emissions from greater forest...
From a credit perspective, climate risk measures exposure to rising temperatures associated with GHG emissions – and derived effects, such as rising oceans and increasing frequency of extreme weather events. Credit risk assessments also incorporate the increased cost of mitigating these...
“The biggest threat to the ocean ecosystem is climate change and rising ocean temperatures. . . . Offshore wind remains one of the best ways for the East Coast to green our electric grid,” O’Malley says. “Solar is important. Energy storage is important. Energy efficiency is important....
