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, equivalent to roughly 40 times humanity's total annual energy use. Scientists report the thermal energy injection is driving accelerating sea level rise and continued ocean acidification, with the findings renewing concern about the pace of global warming and its long-term effects on marine ecosystems and coastlines.
Why now: New scientific findings on record ocean heat content highlight the accelerating impacts of climate change.
