Climate report describes escalating impacts on oceans, ice, and snow

The effects of climate change already observed by scientists in recent decades include a doubling in the rate of ocean warming since 1993, increased frequency and intensity of marine heat waves, growing acidification and loss of oxygen in surface waters, changes in marine ecosystems, shrinking ice sheets and glaciers, accelerating sea level rise, and increased flooding and other hazards for coastal communities.
