Global Mean Sea Levels Continue to rise unabated and are at record levels

The oceans absorb more than 90% of the energy trapped by greenhouse gases and 25% of anthropogenic CO2 emissions, making them warmer and more acidic. For each 3-month period until September 2018, ocean heat content was the highest or second highest on record. Global Mean Sea Level from January to July 2018 was around 2 to 3 mm higher than the same period in 2017.

Ocean 🌊 heat at record levels in 2018 & sea level rise continued unabated. The true debate lies in the solutions and in mobilizing the social and political will to act upon our knowledge. Deciding not to act is a choice itself, and one that we cannot correct later.  Because the longer we wait, the worse the outcomes will be.
