Earth absorbs heat equal to four Hiroshima bombs every second
Original: Climate is accumulating 4 Hiroshima atomic bombs worth of heat per second
A widely shared explanation of ocean and climate data states that the planet is accumulating heat at a rate equivalent to roughly four Hiroshima atomic bomb explosions per second. The comparison, popularised by climate scientists to make the scale of global warming graspable, is drawing attention as a stark illustration of how much excess energy greenhouse gases are trapping in Earth's systems, mostly absorbed by the oceans.
Why now: The striking bomb-comparison metric vividly communicates the pace of global warming, renewing climate discussion.
