  1. Earth’s oceans just broke a heat record. The implications will be massive

    By Anthony Edwards, Aug 23, 2026

    "Earth’s oceans were warmer than any day in recorded history Friday due to a combination of long-term human-caused global warming and short-term effects of #ElNiño.

    The average sea surface temperature of 21.1 degrees Celsius, or 70 degrees Fahrenheit, breaks the old record of 21.09 degrees Celsius set many times in early 2024 during the most recent El Niño.

    " 'There is quite a big certainty that sea surface temperatures globally are now higher than even the last warm period before the last ice age,' #LeonSimons, a climate systems analyst and executive director of the #ClubOfRome Netherlands, said during a webinar Sunday.

    "Measurements are based on data from satellites, buoys and ships between 60 degrees south and 60 degrees north latitude and analyzed by the Copernicus Climate Change Service. Daily measurements date back to 1979, though July sea surface temperatures were the warmest month globally since at least 1854."
