Earth's oceans absorb heat equal to four Hiroshima bombs every second
Original: Climate is accumulating 4 Hiroshima atomic bombs worth of heat per second
A widely shared explainer reiterates that the Earth's climate system is trapping heat at a rate equivalent to roughly four Hiroshima atomic bombs exploding every second, with most of that energy absorbed by the oceans. The comparison, popularised by climate scientists, is being used to make the scale of global warming tangible, prompting discussion about ocean heat content as the clearest measure of planetary warming.
Why now: The striking atomic-bomb comparison gives people a vivid way to grasp the accelerating pace of global warming.
