Boiling Point: What Ocean Warming Tells Us About Climate Change | 22 |

In this episode, we dive into The Guardian's coverage of record-breaking ocean warming and what it means for our planet. Oceans absorb more than 90% of the excess heat from greenhouse gases, making them one of the clearest indicators of climate change. Drawing on research from 20 leading climate scientists, we explore why rising ocean temperatures—like the record highs in 2020—are a global red flag. From fueling stronger storms and shifting rainfall to triggering heatwaves, droughts, and wildfires, warming oceans are reshaping our world. Tune in to understand why the ocean’s heat is everyone’s concern—and why urgent action is needed.Source: https://www.theguardian.com/global/climate-consensus-97-per-cent/2021/jan/13/why-are-ocean-warming-records-being-broken-year-after-year
