Climate change risks in the Mediterranean
The Libyan Center for Remote Sensing and Space Sciences warned of the fast-moving repercussions of climate change on the Mediterranean Sea. Continued rises in sea surface temperatures, which have exceeded 5 degrees Celsius, could transform the region into a nearly dead marine environment. The center explained that marine heatwaves are increasing in frequency and becoming a persistent phenomenon, with severe temperature rises occurring at a rate of between one and two degrees Celsius per week, particularly in the North Pacific. It also noted that the interactions between climate and the marine environment are accelerating beyond expectations, due to increased greenhouse gas emissions and changes in Earth's energy balance. These changes could impact marine ecosystems and the distribution of marine organisms.
