The heat energy we added to the ocean LAST YEAR is the equivalent of:
- Detonating ten hydrogen bombs every minute
- operating over a hundred large power plants continuously for all of written human history
- Five times all the electricity human beings have ever used

Ocean heat content increased by 23 billion trillion joules, which was around 39 times greater than global primary energy use this year. This is the largest rise in OHC since 2017; overall OHC has increased by over 500 zettajoules since the 1940s.

About a decade ago, @theguardian.com stopped accepting advertising revenue from the fossil fuel industry and it shows in how they cover our climate crisis.
The folks at The Guardian are really getting climate coverage right (while so many other outlets are flailing).
A great final read about our warming world and its effects in the US on the last day of 2025:
