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" # Oceans # Environment # Climate # Clim

The world's oceans absorbed a record amount of heat in 2025, warming by around 23 zettajoules, roughly 40 times humanity's total annual energy use. The finding, reported by the Guardian from ocean heat data, underscores how seas are taking up most of the excess energy trapped by greenhouse gases, accelerating warming, sea level rise and marine stress.

Why now: New ocean heat measurements showing record warming are a stark indicator of accelerating climate change.
