Temperatura oceanului a doborât un record de milenii. Valul de căldură marină afectează întreaga Europă • Newsweek România

The ocean has reached unprecedented temperature levels, with marine heatwaves affecting 42% of global oceans and causing extreme conditions in Europe. Recent data indicates that sea surface temperatures have risen to nearly 21 degrees Celsius, marking a potential record for millennia. This unusual heat is linked to a strong El Niño phenomenon and has intensified storms in the Pacific, contributing to severe weather patterns in the United States and Europe. Historical data suggests current sea temperatures are the highest in at least 12,000 years, possibly matching levels from the last interglacial period.
