More than 90% of the effect of global warming is being absorbed by the oceans, with the seas absorbing energy equivalent to a nuclear bomb every second, a new study has found.
New research has analysed records going back to 1871, and found that only a tiny amount of the heat trapped by climate change is affecting the land and ice caps.
Most of the energy is being stored in the ocean depths and could drive sea-level rise and increase the power of hurricanes.
The researchers found that lobal warming of the oceans of 436 x 1021 Joules has occurred from 1871 to present (roughly 1000 times annual worldwide human primary energy consumption).
The researchers found that comparable levels of warming happened from 1920-1945 and 1990-2015.
Prof Laure Zanna who led the international team of researchers said: Our reconstruction is in line with other direct estimates and provides evidence for ocean warming before the 1950s.

Since this article is using term ''atomic bomb’’ I'm assuming this refers to a plutonium bomb, the type used in 1945 against Hiroshima, Japan. If this is correct I also understand that in the initial first second of the bomb’s detonation the ambient surface air temperature reached a million degrees Fahrenheit, melting steel and literally vaporizing human beings. If this were the case with these idiots then the worlds oceans would have been vaporized long ago. Where do these clowns come up with this stuff?

Do these idiots really think no one might do the math on this...

The alarmist hyperbole is becoming a running comedy act. Now I watch the Weather Channel just to see how many times they say "unprecedented" or "global climate change" in a 30 minute segment.
If I were a drinking man I would be passed out within 10 minutes.

Liberals, when you give up your private Jets, your multiple mansions and your wealth, Ill believe you...Until then, STFU...
I won't believe them until they sell their beachfront properties (or any property within 50 miles of any coast) and move .. lock, stock, and barrel .. to the Great Plains or the Midwest ...

OK, I've always heard that heating the oceans will cause the atmosphere's temperature to increase as well.
But if I take a red-hot rivet and drop it into a bucket of water, the heat from the rivet is transferred into the bucket of water, raising it's temperature a few degrees.
How do I get the heat back out of the water and make the rivet red hot again?

Must be why we went so long without any hurricanes hitting the mainland.

Oh wow, liberals discover the Sun puts a lot of energy into the Earth every day.
If anything, their hyperbole shows how weak human efforts are in comparison to the Sun. The first atomic bombs put a lot of hurt in a 5 mile radius, or about 80 square miles. The Sun constantly heats half the Earth’s sphere, or about 100,000,000 square miles, over one million times the area.

This is total BS. A couple of years ago there was a story in my local paper about a study which claimed to be the first ever to document - via field experiments - the effects off human-generated global warming. The effect was stated to be equal in energy to the energy created when you raise your arm ONCE EVERY TEN YEEARS, for every cubic meter of atmosphere.
And even though we'd been told for years that "the science is settled," this was said to be the FIRST study documenting the effect in the real world (as opposed to computer analysis). And even the article conceded "that may not sound like much [of an effect] but . . . ".
