The world's oceans reached the highest levels of water temperature and acidity last year, BTA reported, citing a report by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).

It states that melting glaciers have led to rising sea levels to high levels in 2021.

"Our climate is changing before our eyes. The heat of man-made greenhouse gases will hurt the planet for many generations to come," the organisation's secretary general, Peter Taalas, said in a statement.

According to the WMO report, the levels of carbon dioxide and methane that affect global warming in the atmosphere in 2021 have exceeded previous records.


Globally, last year's average temperature was 1.11 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial averages, and humanity is approaching a 1.5-degree growth threshold, after which the effects of global warming will be drastic.

The acidity of the oceans is the highest in at least 26,000 years because water absorbs and reacts to increased amounts of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

Sea levels have risen by 4.5 centimeters over the last decade, with annual growth from 2013 to 2021 more than twice that of 1993-2002.
