About 90% of the excess heat from planetary warming over the past century has been absorbed by the ocean, causing ocean temperatures to rise. Modern recordkeeping for ocean temperatures began in 1955. Latest Measurement: December 2024 372 (± 2) zettajoules since 1955 Water has a high heat capacity, which means it can store a lot of heat. The atmosphere has warmed from increased greenhouse gases. About 90% of that excess heat has been absorbed by the…
