"The maximum sea surface temperature record was broken in the Mediterranean Sea yesterday with a daily median of 28.90C, surpassing the previous record of 28.71C set on July 24th, 2023."
"What is remarkable is not so much to reach a maximum on a given day, but to observe a long period of high temperatures, even without breaking a record."
"Since 2022, surface temperatures have been abnormally high for long periods, even in a climate-change environment... The Mediterranean region has long been classified as a hotspot of climate change."
"Warmer oceans are also less capable of absorbing carbon dioxide (CO2), reinforcing the vicious cycle of climate change and impacting marine life and food security globally."
