The combined impact of a strong El Niño and climate change has officially pushed ocean surface temperatures past the record set in 2024—the hottest year on record. Two separate services under the European Union’s Copernicus Earth observation program independently confirmed the new record today,

A patch of water south of Greenland and Iceland has cooled by nearly 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit since 1900. A new study suggests that it shows a crucial system of ocean currents is weakening, which could

Experts said this record “is expected to have consequences for both weather patterns, global climate, and marine ecosystems”

Global ocean surface temperatures reached a record high for June 2026, according to European climate researchers, underscoring concerns that the Earth's oceans continue to absorb unprecedented amounts of heat from human-driven climate change.

The world’s average ocean temperature shattered records in June, according to two European Union Earth monitoring systems, the Copernicus Climate Change Service and the Copernic

Chilling news: a mysterious patch of cold water at the bottom of the north Atlantic is caused by the weakening of a vital ocean current that, if it collapses, would trigger devast

This patch of cold North Atlantic water has cooled over the last few decades, and now scientists think they know what’s behind it.

Warming temperatures and rising acidity are wreaking havoc on marine ecosystems and contributing to extreme weather events around the world.

Critics say the move to retire the $360 million system doesn't make sense. The National Science Foundation cites new scientific priorities.
