Paris (AFP) – The world's oceans, which have absorbed most of the excess heat caused by humanity's carbon pollution, continued to see record-breaking temperatures last year, according to research published Wednesday.
Climate change has increased surface temperatures across the planet, leading to atmospheric instability and amplifying extreme weather events such as storms.
Oceans absorb about 90 percent of the excess heat from greenhouse gas emissions, shielding land surfaces but generating huge, long-lasting marine heatwaves that are already having devastating effects on underwater life.
The study, by researchers in China, the US, Italy and New Zealand, said that 2022 was "the hottest year ever recorded in the world's oceans".
Heat content in the oceans exceeded the previous year's levels by around 10 Zetta joules -- equivalent to 100 times the electricity generation worldwide in 2021, according to the authors.
"The oceans are absorbing most of the heating from human carbon emissions," said co-author Michael Mann, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania.
"Until we reach net zero emissions, that heating will continue, and we'll continue to break ocean heat content records, as we did this year," he said. "Better awareness and understanding of the oceans are a basis for the actions to combat climate change."
Records going back to the late 1950s show a relentless rise in ocean temperatures with almost continuous increases going back to around 1985.

Stopped reading right there.
THIS HAS NEVER BEEN PROVEN.
NEVER.
The sky is falling, the sky is falling ………
How about all those volcanoes in the oceans. IIRC, they produce plenty of methane. Man is miniscule in the realm of nature.
Does AFP get the same bribe money AP gets for publishing lies?
One weather channel reported the FEWEST number of hurricanes, cyclones, typhoons last year. Doesn’t jive.
“The world’s oceans, which have absorbed most of the excess heat caused by humanity’s carbon pollution, continued to see record-breaking temperatures last year, according to research published Wednesday.”
Anyone who has been in the water in Southern California recently knows that the water is cold as hell, as it has always been. So this story is BS.
You know what they’ll say right?
Too few.
That’s why they’ve switched from just global warming to climate change.
It’s too hot, cold, rainy, dry, etc.
WARNING; No actual scientific method or data was used or presented in formulating this recent update on the Global Climate Crisis. We The Scientists just wanted to lend a hand to the governments worldwide that are seeking to usher in the Great Reset. Nothing to see here. Just go about your business...and eat your gruel. We thank you for your cooperation.
…”caused by humanity’s carbon pollution“
False.
Love that tagline.
My independent unfunded studies show that climate change is caused by government funding of so called climate scientists and paid propaganda media.
Most of these are pulled from the writer’s fanny. But this is more of a pantload.

Thank GOD, someone is smart enuff (or stupid enuff) to extrapolate the temp from 65 millions years ago. spit.
Are relying of data from ships? Similar problem to land data re heat island effect.
