Since 1970, global warming has caused sea temperatures to increase by an average of 0.6? XC. The UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reported earlier this year that the rate of warming over the past 25 years is 2.8 times that of the average of the past 100 years, indicating that global warming is becoming more intense.
從 1970 年起，暖化現象造成海水平均溫度增加攝氏 0.6 度；聯合國跨國氣候變遷研究小組今年初所提的報告更指出，過去 25 年的暖化速率，是百年來平均值的 2.8 倍，顯示暖化現象確實正在加劇。
