The findings in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, a peer-reviewed US journal, suggest that increasingly severe storm surges could be anticipated as a result. Sea level can mount due to two factors melting ice and the thermal expansion of water as it warms. Until now, researchers...

According to NOAA, all of the globe's surfaces - our oceans, mountains, deserts, and plains - were about 1.62 Fahrenheit warmer than the average global temperature for the entire 20th century. For context, the only other time that a new record has been greater than the old record by this large a margin was in 1998, officials said. The finding was released by NASA and the National...
