Warmer water also expands and raises sea levels as well as holds less oxygen. Anticipating the rate of sea level rise is particularly challenging due to uncertainties in the climate system. But as the rapid increase in ocean temperatures proves, it needs to be just one part of an all-sectors clean-energy transition.
