Warming Oceans Set New Temperature Records in 2021 as Climate Crisis Worsened
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

In climate news, a new study finds ocean temperatures rose to a new
record high last year as atmospheric carbon dioxide levels soared to a
new high. This comes as Danish researchers reported Greenland's ice
sheet lost more mass in 2021 than it gained - for the 25th year in a
row. Meanwhile, the insurance reinvestment firm Munich Re reports 2021
was the second most costly year on record, with insured losses from
natural disasters totaling around $120 billion.
