    It is clear that the ocean is warming as a result of climate change, and this rate of warming is increasing. [2]: 9 The global ocean was the warmest it had ever been recorded by humans in 2022. [13] This is determined by the ocean heat content, which exceeded the previous 2021 maximum in 2022. [13]

    Most heat energy from global warming goes into the ocean, and not into the atmosphere or warming up the land. [ 49 ] [ 50 ] Scientists realized over 30 years ago the ocean was a key fingerprint of human impact on climate change and "the best opportunity for major improvement in our understanding of climate sensitivity is probably monitoring of ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extinction_risk_from...

    Data from 2018 found that at 1.5 °C (2.7 °F), 2 °C (3.6 °F) and 3.2 °C (5.8 °F) of global warming, over half of climatically determined geographic range would be lost by 8%, 16%, and 44% of plant species. This corresponds to more than 20% likelihood of extinction over the next 10–100 years under the IUCN criteria. [58] [15]
