Original: Climate is accumulating 4 Hiroshima atomic bombs worth of heat per second
A widely shared statistic states that the Earth's climate system is accumulating heat at a rate equivalent to the energy released by four Hiroshima atomic bombs every second. The figure illustrates the scale of excess energy trapped by greenhouse gases, most of which is absorbed by the oceans. It has become a common way for scientists and communicators to make global warming's pace tangible to the public.
Why now: The striking comparison offers a vivid way to grasp the speed of global warming, making it a popular reference in climate discussions.
