Professor of thermal sciences John Abraham commented for Forbes on how rising greenhouse gases have influenced climate change and the temperature of our oceans.
From the article: The numbers are unfathomable. During 2021, the oceans absorbed about 14 zeta Joules of additional heat energy — the equivalent of 440 billion toasters running 24 hours a day, every day of the year, says John Abraham, a professor of thermal sciences at the University of St Thomas in Minnesota who contributed to the research. Another analogy is seven Hiroshima atomic bombs detonating each second, 24 hours a day, all year.
