Over 90% of the heat generated in the atmosphere by our greenhouse gas emissions is absorbed by the ocean.
The warming of the climate is therefore above all a warming of the ocean.

An alarming phenomenon, with heavy consequences for marine ecosystems and human societies.

  • THERMAL EXPANSION
    Water expands as it warms and therefore takes up more space. Combined with the melting of glaciers and polar ice caps, this phenomenon generates a rise in sea levels, estimated at 50-90cm by 2100.
  • THE WORSENING OF THE INTENSITY AND FREQUENCY OF CERTAIN EXTREME WEATHER EVENTS
    A warmer ocean provides more “fuel” for cyclones and other tropical storms; extreme rainfall events are intensified etc.
  • DEOXYGENATION
    Warmer sea water dissolves less oxygen. Hypoxic, some of these “dead zones” become unbreathable for some organisms (fish, corals, bivalves) and favor others (jellyfish, algae, etc.).
