So normally the oceans are at their hottest in march, but we are obviously now in august. And so scientists are worried about all of that time left until next march. There is also el nino which is less naturally occurring Climate Fluctuation which we have talked about it before. It happens every few years but it does drive up Ocean Temperatures. 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
