Within the animation it is also possible to see how global events such as the El Nino phenomenon alter temperatures around the world.įor example, there is a small amount of cooling between the 1880s and 1910 due to volcanic eruptions before warming again between 1910 and the 1940s.ĭr Hawkins said this warming was due to a small increase in solar output and natural variability and recovery from the volcanic eruptions. 'The pace of change is immediately obvious, especially over the past few decades, and the relationship between current global temperatures and the internationally discussed limits are also clear.' So since 1997, Earth's oceans have absorbed man-made heat energy equivalent to a Hiroshima-style bomb being exploded every second for 75 straight years.ĭr Ed Hawkins, a climate scientist at the Department of Meteorology at the University of Reading who created the visualisation, told MailOnline: 'I wanted to try to visualise the global changes we have seen in different ways to learn about how we might improve our communication. ![]() To put that in perspective, if you exploded one atomic bomb the size of the one that dropped on Hiroshima every second for a year, the total energy released would be two zettajoules. The world's oceans absorbed approximately 150 zettajoules of energy from 1865 to 1997, and then absorbed about another 150 in the next 18 years, according to a study in the journal Nature Climate Change. Scientists have long known more than 90% of the heat energy from man-made global warming goes into the world's oceans instead of the ground.īut in a recent study, researchers tracked how much man-made heat has been buried in the oceans in the past 150 years. The amount of man-made heat energy absorbed by the seas has doubled since 1997. ![]()
