The oceans are a vital regulator for the climate and our weather but are rapidly heating up.

The average daily global sea surface temperature beat a 2016 record this week, according to the EU’s climate change service Copernicus.

It reached 20.96C. That’s far above the average for this time of year.

      Don’t worry, geoengineering to mask the absolute worst of it will start soon and everyone will pretend it’s not a problem for another decade.
