The UN’s IPCC climate expert panel stated that the rate of ocean warming—and therefore its heat uptake—has more than doubled since 1993. Marine heatwaves have very likely doubled in frequency since 1982 and are increasing in intensity. This in turn can make storms more violent by feeding them with heat and evaporated water. The warming can be lethal for marine life, especially corals and seagrass beds, which are unable to migrate.
