Scientists say the world’s oceans are warming far more quickly than previously thought, a finding with dire implications for climate change because almost all the excess heat absorbed by the planet ends up stored in their waters.
A new analysis, published Thursday in the journal Science, found that the oceans are heating up 40 percent faster on average than a United Nations panel estimated five years ago. The researchers also concluded that ocean temperatures have broken records for several straight years.

"Oceans Warming 40% Faster than Previously Predicted"
Were the previous predictions that the oceans will get warmer by 1 degree or by 10 degrees? Or .1 degrees? Because 40 percent of .1 degrees is not a severe as 40 percent of 10 degrees.
I did notice this winter was warmer than usual where I live but not sure if that has anything to do with global warming.
