Oceans warming four times faster than in 1980s, study finds
NEW DELHI [Maha Media]: A new study has found that the rate at which oceans are warming has become four times faster as compared to the last four decades.
Published in the journal Environmental Research Letters, the study showed that ocean temperatures are rising at 0.27 degrees Celsius per decade during 2019-23, compared to 0.06 degrees Celsius every decade in the late 1980s.
"If the oceans were a bathtub of water, then in the 1980s, the hot tap was running slowly, warming up the water by just a fraction of a degree each decade," lead author Chris Merchant from the University of Reading, UK, said.
