The problem with global warming is increasing in magnitude. A new research study has changed how sea temperatures are collected, and shows they might be getting warmer even more rapidly than previously suspected. The prior collection methodology might have been flawed. The new information shows the waters of our planet may have once been much cooler than we thought. If this is true, it makes the current ocean temperatures even more worrying because the actual amount of difference between the baseline and current increases is higher.

Key Takeaways:

• A mistake in a technique used by scientists to determine past ocean temperatures could mean that the ocean is warming faster than previously thought.
• Scientists thought that 100 million years ago the ocean was 15 degrees warmer than it is today, but now think the temperatures were more stable over time.
• If this analysis is correct, the recent warming of the ocean is more alarming.

“The global warming we are currently undergoing is unparallelled within the last 100 million years, and far worse than we had previously calculated.”
