A new study from the University of Reading found that sea surface temperatures are warming more than four times faster than in the late 1980s, contributing to disasters worldwide. Researchers attribute this acceleration to ocean absorption of heat from various factors, including a 2022 volcanic eruption and changes in shipping regulations. If this trend continues, global warming could exceed the last 40 years within the next 20 years, posing an alarming threat to wildlife, human health, and the environment.
