Oceans heating up faster than expected, set record in 2018


The world's oceans are heating up at an accelerating pace and faster than previously estimated, setting a new temperature record in 2018 as global warming threatens a diverse range of marine life, scientists have warned.

New measurements, aided by an international network of 3,900 floats deployed in the oceans since 2000, showed more warming since 1971 than calculated by the latest UN assessment of climate change in 2013, the researchers said.

The findings published on Thursday in the US journal Science, led by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, debunk previous reports that suggested a so-called pause in global warming in recent years.

"Global warming is here, and has major consequences already. There is no doubt, none!" the authors wrote in a statement.

COMMENT:-

Oh come ON now!

al-Jazeera reporting on a **C*H*I*N*E*S*E** study.

Not a single chance in 10,000,000,000,000,000,000 that there's a word of truth in any of it.

Right?
 
Can't possibly be! I went swimming this past summer and it was not even that warm. What more proof do you need?
 
So, in another 10 or 20 or 30 years when nothing has really changed all that much are you people finally going to admit that this "Global Warming" is not the civilization ending catastrophe you claim it is?

And what would you be doing if the "Climate Change" people are correct?

If you were in a combat situation, MOST of the bullets being fired in your direction would not hit you, but that would NOT mean that it was a "Good Idea" to stand up and walk around in the open. This is what is known as "taking precautions against unwanted consequences". If you take the precautions and the unwanted consequences do NOT happen, then you are out the cost of the precautions. If you DO NOT take the precautions and the unwanted consequences DO happen, you are hooped.
