Ocean heating—which could trigger potentially devastating weather events including hurricanes and storms—is happening 40% faster than previous thought, scientists have warned. 

And if nothing is done to slow the warming, sea-levels could rise by around 12 inches in addition to that caused by melting ice, said the authors of the study published in the journal Science.
