Earth's warming climate is having an impact on both the oceans and the cryosphere, writes Local 4's Paul Gross. These Arctic sea ice changes in the month of September are likely unprecedented for at least 1000 years. It is virtually certain that the global ocean has warmed unabated since 1970 and, since 1993, the rate of ocean warming has likely more than doubled. Of added importance is that the global oceans have taken up more than 90% of the excess heat in the climate system, and the scientists have high confidence about this. Increased mean and extreme sea level, alongside ocean warming and acidification, are projected to exacerbate risks for human communities in low-lying coastal areas (high confidence).
