Climate is accumulating 4 Hiroshima atomic bombs worth of heat per second

The Earth's climate is accumulating heat at an alarming rate, equivalent to 4 atomic bombs of the size dropped on Hiroshima per second. This is according to a study published in the journal Environmental Research Letters, which analyzed data from 1960 to 2019. The researchers found that the amount of heat trapped in the atmosphere has increased by 2.7 watts per square meter since 1960, with the majority of it coming from the increase in carbon dioxide levels. This heat accumulation is causing global temperatures to rise, leading to more frequent and severe heatwaves, droughts, and other extreme weather events.
