Scientists have discovered that as the ocean floor warms faster, global marine life decline at an increasingly alarming rate. Humanity’s continued reliance on fossil fuels led to last year being among the hottest on record for our entire planet. Consequently, the world’s oceans now store over 90% of the excess heat generated by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. A study published in Nature Ecology & Evolution details how this heating poses serious but poorly quantified threats today.
