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 roughly 40 times humanity's total annual energy use. Scientists say the unprecedented thermal energy injection is driving accelerating sea level rise and continued ocean acidification, underscoring the growing gap between global climate pledges and actual warming trends.
Why now: A new scientific finding on record ocean heat highlights the accelerating pace of climate change.
