The oceans are extremely warm right now, with record-breaking temperatures for 15 months. This alarming rise impacts hurricane strength and marine life survival.
Climate change and the El Nino cyclic pattern are key contributors to the ocean's rising temperatures, causing severe impacts on weather patterns and aquatic ecosystems.
Andrew Dessler states the certainty of climate change and El Nino as the causes of ocean warming, but hints at the possibility of additional unknown factors.
The relationship between ocean temperatures and severe weather is clear; hotter oceans fuel powerful hurricanes, which with rising temperatures, threaten coastal ecosystems and communities.
