A new report finds the world's seas took in a record-breaking 23 zettajoules of heat in 2025, leaving ocean waters hotter, higher and less hospitable to marine life. Scientists say the figures underline the accelerating pace of ocean warming driven by climate change, with rising sea levels and stressed ecosystems among the consequences being highlighted.

Why now: The record ocean heat finding gives a striking new measure of how fast climate change is warming the planet.
