The State of Our Climate
Oceans
Sea surface temperature, ocean heat content, ocean acidification and de-oxygenation are record high, increasing at accelerating rates
Over 90% of added greenhouse gas emissions heat goes to the oceans. The rate is now equivalent to exploding 7 Hiroshima atom bombs every second.
Ocean heat is a better climate change indicator than global warming
Accelerating ocean deoxygenation
Accelerating ocean acidification
Acidification is expressed as pH which is inverse
