Oceans Were Hottest on Record in 2019

Associated Press

   PARIS - The world's oceans were the hottest in recorded history in
   2019, scientists said on Tuesday, as manmade emissions warmed seas at
   an ever-increasing rate with potentially disastrous impacts on Earth's
   climate.

   Oceans absorb more than 90 percent of excess heat created by greenhouse
   gas emissions and quantifying how much they have warmed up in recent
   years gives scientists an accurate read on the rate of global warming.

   A team of experts from around the world looked at data compiled by
   China's Institute of Atmospheric Physics (IAP) to gain a clear picture
   of ocean warmth to a depth of 2,000 meters over several decades.
