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.

soooo many factories and vehicles in 1871...
Yahoo is that giant sucking sound.
The Mexicans will have a wall to
sit on when the floods come...
There is nothing more fun, in your old age, than setting back, and watching the know-it-all young people of today, fall for modern versions of the same old scams your grandparents warned you about.
Geez...now they’re just out-and-out lying.
But greenhouse gas warming occurs in the atmosphere and if the atmosphere is heating the oceans, the atmosphere must warm at a higher rate than the oceans. This is clearly not the case, so the ocean warming must be due to a different mechanism.
last I read over 11,000 active volcanoes in the pacific ocean.
...as an ongoing effect of the Little Ice Age that ended 300 years ago.
deep in the depths of the oceans,, energy is being stored up.. duhhhh..
Do they offer drama writing classes for climate change these days or what? You too can learn how to make wild arse statements and be proclaimed so with it... when in fact, you’re full of it.
That is true, once you get past the unnerving aspect of their idiocy and past the concern that they are going to do something so dramatically stupid that the rest of your life is going to be impacted in a very negative...yes, it is hilarious to see the young people falling for the same stuff that we’ve seen throughout human history. And they have no clue that it isn’t something new.
Total solar energy hitting the Earth is about 130 quadrillion watts, or about 2000 times more.
...but, but, but it does not stop at night... It just goes to bother the Chinese for a few hours !
Wholeheartedly agree.
You are right! Whatever it is, it is following the Sun. Another piece of evidence it is caused by man!
They have a staff of 8th graders creating the most sensational headlines possible, without benefit of scientific sources or attribution.
Is it global warming or climate change?
We’ll meet again,
Don’t know where,
Don’t know when...
Yeah, but now the oceans are turning into nuclear bombs.
