Earth absorbing heat equal to four Hiroshima bombs every second
Original: Climate is accumulating 4 Hiroshima atomic bombs worth of heat per second
Climate researchers and commentators are highlighting a widely cited figure that the planet's oceans and atmosphere are absorbing excess heat equivalent to the energy of four Hiroshima atomic bombs every second. The statistic, popularised by climate scientists to make global warming tangible, is being shared as a stark illustration of how much trapped energy greenhouse gases are adding to the Earth system.
Why now: The striking, easily visualised comparison is being circulated to communicate the scale of ongoing global warming.
