Another example of data journalism is this report on the effect of global warming on oceans:
2017 was only the second-warmest year on record, according to NASA. But when it comes to the ocean, temperatures have never been warmer.
New data from the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Atmospheric Physics analyzing ocean data from the last half century shows a clear trend: The oceans are steadily getting warmer, with this year registering the hottest yet. And while the atmospheric temperature is more susceptible to year-to-year shifts, the data from the Earth’s waters shows the consistency with which our world is heating up.
