Oceans absorbed record heat equal to 40 times global energy use

Original: World’s oceans absorbed record heat equal to 40 times annual global energy use

New reporting states that the world's oceans absorbed a record amount of heat in the past year, equivalent to roughly 40 times humanity's total annual energy use. Ocean heat content is a key indicator of climate change, as seas store most of the excess warmth trapped by greenhouse gases. The finding underscores accelerating global warming and its consequences for sea levels, marine life and extreme weather.

Why now: The record ocean heat measurement is fresh scientific news highlighting the pace of climate change.
