Ocean Temperatures Imply Global Warming

Rising temperatures in the ocean depths off Antarctica provide new evidence that greenhouse gas emissions from the Industrial Age are causing global warming, researchers said Friday.

Indian Ocean waters tested as deep as 2,950 feet have warmed by 1 degree Fahrenheit between 1962 and 1987, said Dr. Nathan Bindoff, also from the Antarctic Research Center, based in Hobart. The Indian Ocean has risen by 1.4 inches in those 25 years just from thermal expansion.
