We're still getting more heat trapped into the oceans, 8 00:00:32.390 --> 00:00:36.400 the oceans are sucking it up, and sea levels are still rising. 9 00:00:36.420 --> 00:00:40.470 Look at the sea level record for the last decade. It's going up like gangbusters, 10 00:00:40.490 --> 00:00:44.550 hasn't slowed down. So, is there a pause in global warming? 11 00:00:44.570 --> 00:00:48.610 No, there's not really a pause in global warming. Sometimes there's natural fluctuations and 12 00:00:48.630 --> 00:00:52.680 we warm up a little faster in one decade and a little slower in another decade, 13 00:00:52.700 --> 00:00:56.740 but global warming, human-caused climate change? 14 00:00:56.760 --> 00:01:00.780 That's definitely going right on up in there. We haven't slowed down at all. 15 00:01:00.800 --> 00:01:04.790 16 00:01:04.810 --> 00:01:08.810 [music] 17 00:01:08.830 --> 00:01:09.483
