11 January 2023 Another Year of Record Heat for the Oceans, Lijing Cheng et al
Sea surface temperature, ocean heat content, ocean acidification and de-oxygenation are record high, increasing at record rates
Over 90% of added greenhouse gas emissions heat goes to the oceans. The rate is now equivalent to exploding 7 Hirosohima atom bombs every second
Accelerating ocean deoxygenation
Accelerating ocean acidification
Acidification is expressed as pH which is inverse
