While temperatures provide a measure of the Earth’s climate, it is even better to use the global sea level , which provides a far more reliable measure. The global sea level acts like the mercury in a thermometer because warmer water expands. Our job is to be thorough and verify questionable results.

The global average sea surface temperature hit an all-time record high in July and these unprecedented ocean temperatures show that the ocean is heating up more rapidly than experts previously realized—posing a greater risk for sea-level rise, extreme weather and the loss of marine ecosystems.

While it is undeniable that we are ramping up our actions against climate change, it is hard to deny that global warming is getting scarier every week. It is worth noting that if all ice melt in Antarctica, sea level would rise by 60 meters (around 200 feet).

Lest one thinks this disconnect is a failure of the global climate architecture, the failure lies much closer to home—in the domestic politics in the US and many other countries that continue to favor the interests of the rich and powerful , and fossil fuel companies, at the expense of the health and safety of everyone else and the planet.

Clean ocean energy solutions are critical to reducing emissions and averting the climate crisis. Climate change is the single greatest threat our ocean faces. It puts the wildlife and communities that depend on the ocean at risk through impacts like ocean acidification, sea level rise and temperature changes.
