The world’s oceans are likely the hottest they’ve been for 1,000 years and are set to bring about even wilder weather events
, new analysis has found.
More than 90 per cent of excess heat trapped by greenhouse gases is absorbed in the oceans, with temperatures rising steadily since 1958 before shooting up quicker post-1990. “There are increasing occurrences of record-shattering heatwaves and droughts in the northern hemisphere, consistent with intensive ocean warming in the mid-latitude Pacific and Atlantic oceans.”
It comes as Scotland also saw weather extremes last year - with July’s record-breaking heatwave, the coldest December in a decade and severe flooding and heavy rainfall in the south of Scotland at the tail-end of the year. And we previously told how February’s Storm Eunice - which battered Scotland and the UK with blizzard conditions and 90mph winds - was listed as one of the top climate-linked weather disasters of last year.
