Global ocean surface temperatures reached an all-time high in June, with scientists warning the world is entering uncharted territory amid the climate crisis.
Global ocean surface temperatures reached an all-time high in June, surpassing any previous June on record. Scientists are warning the world is entering uncharted territory as warming accelerates.
Ocean temperatures are the planet's primary heat sink — they absorb most of the extra energy from greenhouse gas warming. When they hit new highs, it means the climate system itself has crossed into unknown conditions. Scientists use phrases like 'uncharted territory' when they mean they can't confidently predict what happens next based on historical data. Record ocean temps in June set up the potential for more extreme weather in the months ahead.
