- The oceans are full of heat, and it’s coming ashore
The oceans and land are experiencing record-breaking heat, with Western Europe and the U.S. facing deadly heatwaves in June and July. Over 40% of the global ocean is undergoing marine heatwaves, linked to fossil fuel-driven climate change, which exacerbates extreme weather and coral reef damage. Scientists connect ocean warming to intensified land heatwaves and health crises.
