Ocean Global Warming
Ocean global warming refers to the phenomenon of rising sea temperatures due to the absorption of excess heat trapped in the Earth's atmosphere by greenhouse gases. This increase in ocean temperatures has wide-ranging effects on marine ecosystems, leading to coral bleaching, disrupted migration patterns of marine species, and altered ocean currents. The warming of the oceans also contributes to sea level rise, as warmer water expands and polar ice caps melt, posing a threat to coastal communities and low-lying islands. Addressing ocean global warming is crucial in mitigating the impacts of climate change on both marine life and human populations.
