And it has just reached a new peak 20. 96 degrees celsius, the highest Global Average sea temperature ever recorded. The worlds warming waters are a dangerous trend, say experts. Peoples perspective is that the ocean is so big, so vast, that it can buffer anything that humanity can throw at it. And the reality is thats not the case. Everything has its niche within the ocean, and its incredibly easy to break that niche and influence it and upset it. Take plankton. These tiny plants and animals are crucial to life on the planet.

But we are only at the beginning of that now, it is quite weak and so as not to get stronger in the coming months, Scientists Say they fear these average temperatures will just carry they fear these average temperatures willjust carry on going up. What do scientists think is the cause . Scientists know that in the long term, Climate Change is driving up average temperatures in the oceans. They also think that a lot of the heat, or they know that a lot of the heat, or they know that a lot of the heat that
