Ocean heatwaves now last three times longer due to fossil fuel-driven climate change

The climate crisis has significantly intensified marine heatwaves, which are now more frequent, last longer, and are destroying ecosystems from coral reefs to kelp forests.Damian Carrington reports for The Guardian.In short:Ocean heatwaves have nearly tripled in length since the 1980s, with half of all such events since 2000 linked directly to human-caused global warming.These prolonged marine heatwaves are weakening ocean carbon absorption, fue…

Global warming has tripled sea heat waves since 1940, according to a study by a research team from the University of the Balearic Islands (UIB), the Mediterranean Institute of Advanced Studies (Imedea, CSIC-UIB) and the National Centre for Atmospheric Science of the University of Reading, United Kingdom. In a press release, the University of the Balearic Islands has announced that the main conclusion drawn from the research is that extreme heat …

A trio of environmental scientists at the Mediterranean Institute for Advanced Studies Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas—Universidad de las Islas Baleares, working with a pair of meteorologists from the National Center for Atmospheric Science, at the University of Reading, in the U.K., has found that global warming has led to tripling the length of ocean surface heat waves.

Extreme marine heatwaves tripled over past 80 years: Study - News Today

London, Apr 18: The number of days each year that the world’s oceans experience extreme surface heat has tripled over the past 80 years due to global warming, a new study has found. Researchers found that, on average, the global sea surface saw about 15 days of extreme heat annually in the 1940s, Xinhua news agency reported. Today that figure has soared to nearly 50 days per year, revealed the study published in the journal Proceedings of the N…
