Original: World’s oceans absorbed record heat equal to 40 times annual global energy use
The world's oceans absorbed a record amount of heat in the past year, equivalent to around 40 times humanity's total annual energy use, according to reporting by The Guardian. The finding underscores how much excess energy from global warming is being taken up by seawater, driving warmer ocean temperatures with consequences for marine life, sea levels and extreme weather.
Why now: New research showing oceans absorbed unprecedented levels of heat highlights the accelerating pace of global warming.
