he earth’s seas will
continue to warm for centuries even if manmade greenhouse gas emissions were
frozen at today’s levels, say US government scientists.
The Guardian reports:
“The warming of the oceans due to climate change is now unstoppable after
record temperatures last year, bringing additional sea-level rise, and raising
the risks of severe storms, US government climate scientists said on Thursday.
“The annual State of the Climate in 2014 report, based on research
from 413 scientists from 58 countries, found record warming on the surface and
upper levels of the oceans, especially in the North Pacific, in line with
earlier findings of 2014 as the hottest year on record.
“Global sea-level also reached a record high, with the
expansion of those warming waters, keeping pace with the 3.2 ± 0.4 mm per year
trend in sea level growth over the past two decades, the report said,” the
newspaper says.
