Ocean heat storage hits record high, Copernicus reports
Original: The heat stored in the oceans has reached its highest level, according to the latest Copernicus report
The latest Copernicus Climate Change Service report finds that the heat stored in the world's oceans has reached its highest recorded level. Ocean heat content is a key indicator of climate change, since the seas absorb most of the excess heat trapped by greenhouse gases. Scientists say the record underscores the continued warming of the planet and its consequences for marine life, sea levels and extreme weather.
Why now: The new Copernicus report shows a record in ocean heat content, a major indicator of climate change.
