Almost all the fossil fuel energy we are burning ends up in the ocean. In other words, the oceans absorb more than 90 per cent of the heat resulting from anthropogenic climate change. Were it not for them, the temperature at the Earth’s surface – where we live – would be even higher. But this does not come entirely free of charge. This increase in ocean heat ultimately boosts the energy with which storms strike, making us far more vulnerable to flooding. It also seriously disrupts all marine life.
