Ocean Temperatures <br />Hit Record Highs Conducted by several teams of <br />scientists, the analysis of the world's <br />oceans was published in journal <br />'Advances In Atmospheric Sciences.' It found that in the past <br />five years, ocean temperatures <br />have been the warmest ever recorded. 2019 "displayed the largest <br />single-year [temperature] <br />increase of the entire decade."

This leads to more <br />flooding, catastrophic fires <br />and a rise in sea level. Prof. John Abraham, via 'The Guardian'
