Q. will the #Mediterranean's water heat up quicker than bigger seas/oceans as like a small(er) pot on the stove there is less water to heat for a given #energy source?

If so, will the #climatecrisis around the Med get (even) worse quicker than elsewhere?

I ask in a general spirit of curiosity not because I have an answer ready to hand....

I've done some reading and yes, it seems the Mediterranean will (and already does) warm faster - the UN page (https://www.unep.org/unepmap/resources/factsheets/climate-change) says it's warming 20% faster. Less rainfall may also cause it to become saltier over time, too.
