"The #oceans absorb 90% of the heat trapped by the #CarbonEmissions from the burning of fossil fuels, making it the clearest indicator of global heating.
The ocean surface temperatures in 2023 were “off the charts”, the researchers said. The primary cause was another year of record carbon emissions, assisted by El Niño. Over the whole year, the average temperature was 0.1C above 2022, but in the second half of 2023 the temperature was an “astounding” 0.3C higher."
