Oceans likely to heat up at 7 times their current rate, new study finds

A new study has found that climate change in the deep parts of the oceans could accelerate to seven times their current rate after 2050.. Deep-sea marine life is likely to be at greater risk of warming oceans, as they have adapted to stable thermal environments, the researchers said.. So far, ocean water surfaces are experiencing climate velocity about twice the rate of the lower regions.. Life in the depths of the ocean has been less affected than, say, coral, which are much closer to the surface of the water.. "In waters between a depth of 200 and 1000 meters, our research showed climate velocities accelerated to 11 times the present rate..
