Warming oceans

An unexpected increase in sea temperature has worried scientists around the world, as they fear the impact that this effect could have on Earth.

Climate change has not caused the multi-year drought that is punishing parts of Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil and Bolivia, although warming is worsening some of its effects, according to a new study.

A global shift to an El Niño weather pattern later this year could pave the way for the world to exceed 1.5C of warming for the first time in 2024, according to the UK Met Office.

The Green New Deal, which was sponsored by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortex and Senator Ed Markey, is a bold plan to tackle the climate crisis by working towards a 100% clean and renewable country by 2030 and net-zero global emissions by 2050.
