In January, an international group of researchers said the amount of heat in the upper oceans in 2022 would exceed last year’s level by about 10 zeta joules – the equivalent of 100 times the worldwide electricity generation in 2021. Records going back to the late 1950s show a steady increase in surface temperatures, with […]
