The Pacific Ocean Just Broke a Heat Record



Scientists just recorded the highest sea surface temperature ever. 🌊🌡️

In this episode of Earthshift, Eva Cornman explains how @CopernicusECMWF clocked a global average of 21.1°C (70°F), beating the previous single-day record of 21.09°C set in 2024. It’s especially alarming because sea surface temps usually peak in March and April, not August. Warmer oceans absorb less CO2, which can fuel more extreme weather, and scientists suspect a developing super El Niño may be part of what’s driving it.

  2. La Nina didn't get to stay around long enough to cool anything off. I don't get why so many people think climate change is a hoax. These folks need a while for some quiet reflection with a pencil and paper at the kitchen table to write down the weather they have observed over their lifetimes. Oh baby yes, she be a changin’. To think that 8 billion organisms living on this planet has had no effect on ecosystems and weather is crazy.
