由于气候变化,北海和凯尔特海的海洋热浪现在每年可能达到10%,高于1990年代的1%。 Marine heatwaves in the North and Celtic Seas are now 10% likely each year due to climate change, up from 1% in the 1990s.

北海和凯尔特海的海洋热浪与创纪录的2023年事件一样,将气温提高到接近平均摄氏3度以上,由于气候变化,这种事件越来越频繁和剧烈,今天每年发生频率为10%,比1990年代的1%有所增加。 Marine heatwaves in the North Sea and Celtic Sea, like the record-breaking 2023 event that raised temperatures nearly 3°C above average, are becoming more frequent and intense due to climate change, with a 10% annual chance of occurrence today—up from 1% in the 1990s. 科学家说,这些极端事件现在已成为当今的现实,符合全球变暖预测,并威胁到海洋生态系统、渔业和沿海社区。 Scientists say these extreme events, now a present-day reality, are consistent with global warming projections and threaten marine ecosystems, fisheries, and coastal communities.
