It isn’t exactly a surprise that the ocean is getting warmer, but the rate at which it’s doing so—roughly 400 percent faster than the rate of the 1980s—is alarming. Looking at satellite observations captured from 1985 to modern day, coupled with statistical models incorporating climate variability, scientists found that the ocean was warming at a rate of roughly 0.06 degrees Celsius per decade in the late 80s. Now, it has now jumped up to 0.27 degrees Celsius per decade. The results of the study were published in the journal Environmental Research Letters.
