Oceans hottest in 2018, break record for 5th straight year

Earth's oceans were hottest-ever in 2018, the fifth consecutive year to break the heat record, according to findings by a team of international researchers. The current rate of ocean warming is reportedly equivalent to five Hiroshima-size atomic bombs exploding every second. A previous study by the same team revealed 93% of the Earth's energy imbalance ends up in the ocean.
