Oceans suffer from record-breaking year of heat amid climate change

The world’s oceans have broken temperature records every single day over the past year, BBC analysis has found. Climate change and planet warming gases are mostly to blame, though natural weather event El Niño has also helped warm the seas. The super-heated oceans have hit marine life hard, and has driven a new wave of coral bleaching. The analysis is based on data from the EU's Copernicus Climate Service – which also confirmed that last month was the warmest April on record in terms of global air temperatures.
