Earth is heating at the rate of four Hiroshima bombs a second
Original: Climate is accumulating 4 Hiroshima atomic bombs worth of heat per second
New attention is being drawn to the pace of global warming: the world's oceans and atmosphere are absorbing heat equivalent to roughly four Hiroshima atomic bombs every second. The figure, popularised by climate scientists to make ocean heat uptake tangible, is resurfacing as a striking illustration of how much excess energy greenhouse gases are trapping in the climate system.
Why now: The vivid 'Hiroshima bombs per second' comparison is circulating again as people seek intuitive ways to grasp the scale of ongoing climate change.
