NEW DELHI: Although the intermittent rains are bringing relief, the severity of the scorching heat has not reduced much. Oceans are warming due to climate change. Every day for the past year, ocean temperatures have set a new record. Researchers from the European Union Copernicus Climate Service point out this.

A rise in temperature will have a severe impact on marine ecosystems. Average sea surface temperature has been increasing since March 2023. Record temperature was recorded in August. After that there was no decrease in temperature. The average daily temperature in February and March was 21.09 degree Celsius. Last month was unusually warm despite the weakening of the temperature-boosting El Niño phenomenon.

Mike Meredith, a senior professor at the British Antarctic Survey, says the ocean is warming faster than expected and this is a serious concern. He says it will have a big impact on the climate change, he says.

The change in temperature is seriously affecting marine life and coral reefs. The recent reported destruction of coral reefs is the most visible example of climate change in the ocean. There is also concern that the destruction of coral reefs will devastate the marine biodiversity.
