We all depend on the oceans. They regulate climate over long timescales and affect weather on land. They also host vast ecosystems, provide nutrition for billions, and support livelihoods and cultures ...
Ocean temperatures set a record high in 2025, according to a new study. The authors found that the heat content of the ocean increased by about 23 zettajoules between 2024 and 2025. That’s roughly the ...
According to the 35th annual State of the Climate report, greenhouse gas concentrations, the global temperature across land and oceans, global sea level, and ocean heat content all reached record ...
Claims that the oceans are now driving a new phase of global cooling have surged across social media, but they collide with a large and consistent body of scientific evidence. Ocean measurements from ...
A recent surge in ocean temperatures has caused the widespread bleaching and death of warm-water corals around the world, officially triggering the first climate tipping point for one of Earth’s ...
As human activities have released greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, trapping excess heat and warming the planet, the ocean has absorbed more than 90% of that excess heat since the 1970s. The ocean ...
