Oceanele lumii au atins temperaturi record luna trecută, fiind a doua cea mai caldă lună iulie din istorie

Recent data indicates that global ocean temperatures reached record highs in July, influenced by the El Niño phenomenon. The average sea surface temperature was 20.96 degrees Celsius, surpassing the previous record. This warming has led to severe marine heatwaves, particularly in the Atlantic and Mediterranean regions. The ongoing El Niño is expected to intensify, contributing to extreme weather patterns. The rise in ocean temperatures is linked to sea level rise due to thermal expansion, affecting low-lying coastal areas. Scientists warn that El Niño may temporarily elevate global temperatures, exacerbating the impacts of human-induced climate change.
