Not only the surface, but also the top two thousand meters of seawater were as warm as ever in 2024 and heat up faster and faster. This has consequences - on land and in the oceans. From Y. Appelhans.

Extreme ocean heat does not mean climate change is accelerating: Study

An extraordinary jump in ocean temperatures in 2023 and 2024 was at the extreme end of expectations from global warming and would have been "practically impossible" without climate change, new research said Wednesday.

Record sea surface temperature jump in 2023–2024 unlikely but not unexpected

Global ocean surface temperatures were at record levels for more than a year from April 2023 onwards, exceeding the previous record in 2015–2016 by 0.25 °C on average between April 2023 and March 20241. The nearly global extent and unprecedented intensity of this event prompted questions about how exceptional it was and whether climate models can represent such record-shattering jumps in surface ocean temperatures2. Here we construct observation…

Extreme ocean heat does not mean climate change is accelerating: study

Brest, France (AFP) Mar 12, 2025 An extraordinary jump in ocean temperatures in 2023 and 2024 was at the extreme end of expectations from global warming and would have been "practically impossible" without climate change, new research said Wednesday. The planet has been steadily warming for decades as emissions rise but the stunning leap in ocean temperatures was so far above the long-term trend that scientists debated if
