A study published in the scientific journal "Advances in Atmospheric Sciences" shows that warming of Earth's oceans reached a record high in 2019. Measurements taken by ocean buoys and weather stations indicate that the rate of warming increased by 450% between 1987 and 2019. Lead researcher Lijing Cheng, who led the study, says this fact is irrefutable proof of climate change. "There are no reasonable alternatives other than human emissions of heat-trapping gases."
For oceanographer Jonas Santos, the oceans have gained attention due to climate change and rising sea levels. "The ocean has and will continue to have a significant influence on climate regulation through the absorption, storage, and transport of heat, carbon dioxide, and water. Changes in ocean circulation can produce considerable, anomalous, and perhaps irreversible changes in Earth's climate," he assesses.
