The seas are the most obvious sign of global warming because they absorb 90% of the heat that is trapped by carbon emissions from the combustion of fossil fuels. Scientists said that in 2023, the oceans absorbed record amounts of heat, and the data indicated that over the previous ten years, the oceans had warmed significantly annually.

The phenomena of climate change and global warming took centre stage in South Asia too in 2023, perhaps like never before. Torrential unseasonal rains, floods, weather extremes, melting Himalayan ice, and more put the focus on the region being a major victim of climate change as well as the need for joint efforts from countries in South Asia to take on the problem.

Chum salmon, a species of anadromous salmonid fish, have found a new location to spawn—the Arctic waters, and the scientists are alarmed. Chum salmon are said to be anadromous, which means they hatch in freshwater streams and rivers and then migrate out to the saltwater environment of the ocean to feed and grow.

Climate 'Tipping Point': World is at a pivotal point, govt should act now to save planet

Over the years scientists have cautioned about the dire climate situation the Earth is facing. While the world governments are struggling to hammer out a common deal to reach net zero emissions, a report has issued a ‘Doomsday’ warning about the major climate “tipping points” that could bring catastrophe worldwide in the next 10 years if the planet continues to heat up.
