<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%">By measuring the gasses emitted by the ocean as an indication of its warming, a Nature study has concluded that ocean warming was “more than twice the rates of long-term warming estimates
from the 1960s and ‘70s to the present.” We have less time than we thought, and can emit 25% less greenhouse gasses, before we trigger catastrophic warming. Sea levels will rise more quickly than we had supposed. The study was led by Princeton’s Laure Resplandy,
a geoscientist. <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/energy-environment/2018/10/31/startling-new-research-finds-large-buildup-heat-oceans-suggesting-faster-rate-global-warming/?utm_term=.5c58ef3a4d13" id="LPlnk934647" class="OWAAutoLink" previewremoved="true">
