While many of us have been preoccupied with daily concerns and scandals involving public figures, Chinese climate misinformation campaigns have continued unabated.
A recent BBC analysis reveals that the world's oceans have experienced record-breaking temperatures every day over the past year, with nearly 50 days surpassing previous highs by the largest margin in the satellite era.
This alarming trend, fueled by climate change and exacerbated by the El Niño weather phenomenon, has had devastating effects on marine life, leading to a surge in coral bleaching.
Data from the EU's Copernicus Climate Service confirms that global air temperatures reached an all-time high last month, marking the 11th consecutive month of record-breaking warmth. This unprecedented heat poses a serious threat to the oceans, which have long served as a crucial buffer against climate change by absorbing a significant amount of the carbon dioxide and excess heat generated by human activity.
Since March 2023, the average surface temperature of the global oceans has consistently exceeded the long-term norm, reaching a new record high in August.
The sea surface temperature hit a new global average daily high of 21.09°C in February and March this year, according to Copernicus data. This rapid warming has led to widespread coral bleaching, endangering the marine species that rely on coral reefs for survival.
Additionally, the warming seas have facilitated the spread of invasive species, such as sea squirts in the waters around Great Britain, disrupting native ecosystems.
Dr. Nova Mieszkowska, a marine biologist from the University of Liverpool, explains that while nature is constantly evolving, the pace of change induced by climate change is too rapid for many species to adapt. She notes that different species are moving at different rates in response to warming oceans, leading to significant changes in global ecosystems.
The consequences of these changes are profound and far-reaching. If current trends continue, the oceans may reach a tipping point beyond which they can no longer sustain life as we know it. It is imperative that we take immediate action to reduce our carbon footprint and mitigate the impacts of climate change before it's too late.
