Ocean Temperatures 
Hit Record Highs Conducted by several teams of 
scientists, the analysis of the world's 
oceans was published in journal 
'Advances In Atmospheric Sciences.' It found that in the past 
five years, ocean temperatures 
have been the warmest ever recorded. 2019 "displayed the largest 
single-year [temperature] 
increase of the entire decade." Prof. John Abraham, via 'The Guardian' Warmer ocean temperatures 
lead to an increase in 
severe weather systems. This leads to more 
flooding, catastrophic fires 
and a rise in sea level. Prof. John Abraham, via 'The Guardian'
