Climate Change Drives Record Sea Temperature Rise and Marine Heatwaves in Europe
European seas, particularly the Mediterranean, have experienced record-breaking temperature rises this summer, with human-caused climate change adding about 2 degrees Celsius to sea temperatures. This warming has triggered marine heatwaves, threatening ecosystems, fisheries, and coastal communities. Scientists warn that such heatwaves disrupt marine life, causing species to shift and potentially intensify storms by providing more energy. The heat is linked to broader heatwaves over land, highlighting interconnected climate impacts across Europe.
