Oceanele lumii au înregistrat un record zilnic absolut de căldură. De ce este neobişnuită o astfel de temperatură acum

The world's oceans reached a record daily temperature of 21.1°C, influenced by climate change and El Niño. This unusual August record surpasses the previous high of 21.09°C set in March 2024. El Niño, occurring every two to seven years, contributes to the overall warming trend due to greenhouse gas accumulation. Typically, ocean temperatures peak in March and April, making this August record particularly notable. Oceans absorb 90% of excess heat from human activities, indicating increasing stress on marine ecosystems and coastal communities. Rising ocean temperatures also heighten the risk of extreme weather events.
