Swiss Find The Water Is Hotter Than Science Thought

Climate change might be worse than thought after scientists find major mistake in water temperature readings

Andrew Griffin, October 26, 2017 (UK Independent)

“…[A new Swiss study challenges the ways researchers have worked out sea temperatures until now and show climate change may be heating the seas quicker than previously thought…The methodology widely used to understand sea temperatures in the scientific community may be based on a mistake…[The oceans were colder than we thought] suggests that the oceans hundreds of millions of years ago were much cooler than we thought. If true, that means that the global warming we are currently undergoing is unparallelled within the last 100 million years, and far worse than we had previously calculated…Until now, scientists believed that the temperature of the ocean depths and the surface of the polar ocean 100 million years ago were about 15 degrees warmer than they are today. But they might in fact have stayed relatively stable – making the warming we're currently undergoing far more alarming…” click here for more
