All of the oceans have been warming for the last 40 or 50 years, at least. That's not natural variability, where some (oceans) would get warm and others cold - they've all warmed.

Climate warming is a certainty for our future and ... the long-term prognosis is clear and very dire.

Climate warming is a certainty in our future and the bottom line in this analysis is that we looked at the impact of the warming and the long-term prognosis is clear and very dire,

The big payoff is going to be for our children. Together, if we take a concentrated action as a people, we might be able to slow it down enough to avoid these surprises.

This is perhaps the most compelling evidence yet that global warming is happening right now.
|
Warming in the ocean is bad and good news. It really does add strength to the claims that global warming is here.

What we found is that the signal is so bold and big, that you don't have to do any fancy statistics to beat it out of the data. It's just there, bang. And the odds are exceedingly good that the model did not trick us with this signal.
