Dear MEL Topic Readers,
2018 was the hottest year ever recorded for the planet's oceans
Global warming is not just a rise in atmospheric temperatures but also in oceanic temperatures. That’s because most of the heat-trapping gasses like carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere get absorbed in the ocean. In fact, the highest ocean heat record has been renewed for the last five consecutive years. Higher ocean temperatures cause more devastating storms, higher sea levels, and faster ground ice melting. You may remember super typhoons hit the Philippines and Hong Kong and record-high rains flooded Japan and India last year.
As no sign of slowing has seen in global warming, it is apparent that ocean heating continues. What roles do human ingenuity, international cooperation, and technological achievements play to bring solutions to human-caused problems?
Enjoy reading and think if you just want to keep enjoying warmer water and longer summer on the beach.
