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.’

Is it “global warming” or “climate change”?
Remember when it was “THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT”?
Whatever happened to the gaping hole in the Ozone layer? Did we patch that up by giving up hair spray?
We’re all gonna’ die....
By raising your taxes & making you purchase carbon credits.
No mention of the Argo project where 3,000 sensors were distributed around oceans. The little devices sink to something like 2km depth for a day, then deeper, then back to the surface in a weeks time taking temp measurements at periodic intervals. On surface the data is uploaded to sats.
After this project was completed...I forget how long it went on...the data revealed NO, ZERO, ocean warming.
More BS propaganda from the left.
These half wits have finally realized that the oceans contain far more heat energy than the atmosphere. Duh. Guess what happens when the oceans release their energy and cool ? The atmosphere can warm significantly for or a bit, then falls dramatically.
