This Senate resolution formally recognizes that human-caused climate change is causing the rapid warming of the world's oceans, which are absorbing vast amounts of excess heat and are projected to warm at an even faster rate by 2100. It highlights numerous deleterious effects, including significant harm to biodiversity , coral reefs , and fish populations , leading to economic uncertainty and disrupting ocean food webs through increased acidification and damage to key species. Furthermore, warming oceans contribute to a higher risk and severity of harmful algal blooms , impacting ecosystems, fisheries, and public health, while also fueling stronger hurricanes and extreme precipitation events. The resolution concludes that these rapid changes are imposing profound and serious harms on both marine environments and the coastal communities that depend on them.
