Oceans absorb record heat equal to 40 times global energy use
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 consumption. Scientists report the thermal energy injection is driving accelerating sea-level rise and continued ocean acidification, underscoring the mounting impact of global warming on marine systems.
Why now: New research showing record ocean heat content highlights the accelerating pace of climate change.
