 Are those warmer ocean temperatures just because of climate change? It's really interesting. It's a mix of factors. There's climate change and the constant buildup of heat trapping gases. And that is a big factor. But the experts I have been talking to say climate change just does not explain it all. In 2022, there was an underwater volcano eruption and that fueled warmer temperatures. And also there was a new environmental regulation that went into effect. It prohibited ships from polluting so much.
