Southwest Pacific Hit By Unprecedented Marine Heat Waves In 2024: United Nations
Unprecedented heat waves in the Southwest Pacific affected more than 10% of the global ocean surface in 2024, damaging coral reefs and putting the region's last remaining tropical glacier at risk of extinction, the UN's weather body said on Thursday.

Human Activity Creates Systemic Warming Pool in the Pacific Ocean; Causing Loss of Aquatic Wildlife, Ecology
Scientists have identified that the systemic warming in a pool of water present in the northeast Pacific Ocean is due to human activities and not from natural climatic variations. The pool of water has witnessed a surface water temperature increase of up to 3 degrees Celsius since 1996. The three million square kilometres body has been seeing a ris...
