Despite the small dip in global carbon emissions due to restrictions on travel and other activities due to the COVID-19 pandemic, global ocean temperatures continued breaking records in 2020, with a recent study reporting the highest ocean temperatures since 1955 from surface level to a depth of 2,000 meters.
Ocean temperatures will continue to rise this century and will prompt more extreme weather events such as intensive rainfall and hurricanes globally, and in China, rising global sea levels together with extreme weather may cause seawater to flood China s coastal areas and even inundate some regions, researchers from the study warned.
