Ocean Warming Breaks Record for Ninth Straight Year
Scientists warn the ocean’s accumulation of energy is fueling extreme weather patterns and destabilizing marine ecosystems.

Every second of last year, the Earth’s oceans absorbed the equivalent in energy to 12 Hiroshima-sized atomic bombs.

Global ocean heat content (OHC) increased for the ninth consecutive year in 2025, according to a report released Friday in Advances in Atmospheric Sciences. The study—a collaboration involving more than 50 scientists from 31 international institutions—measured temperature fluctuations in the upper 2,000 meters of the planet’s waters, finding the greatest increases in the Southern Atlantic, the Northern Pacific and the Southern Ocean. Warming waters are linked to increasingly extreme weather patterns, coral reef die-offs and sea level rise.

Earth’s oceans act as the planet’s main thermal energy sink. Absorbing more than 90 percent of the excess heat trapped by greenhouse gases, ocean temperatures serve as a critical indicator of long-term climate change. “Global OHC is the single best indicator that the planet is warming,” said Kevin Trenberth, a co-author and scholar at the National Center for Atmospheric Research.

Very sad and meanwhile man has his petty arguments.

>>Every second of last year, the Earth’s oceans absorbed the equivalent in energy to 12 Hiroshima-sized atomic bombs.

Is that what oceans do or is that the global warming part of it?

disagree, great peace loving world police free USSA could drop a string of thermonuclear babies across East Asia across Asia Minor and South America, drop the population by 40%, that’ll cut emissions quick smart

Ah okay – It didn’t ask me sorry.
Briefly – CC is causing the oceans to warm substantially and at an unprecedented rate. Their ability to absorb excess heat is decreasing as they reach saturation so the atmosphere is going to start getting hotter and quite likely soon.

Just create a ‘throw-away’ email account. One that you intend to never visit again.

But, it’s the mail address that you provide for things like this.

Then, they can happily send you all the email rubbish they like, and you can just as happily never see any of it.
