Here’s a more practical reference: all the energy used annually by all the people in all the world — all of it — amounts to half a zettajoule (yup, it’s a big number). So what does that mean for oceans? — PolitiTweet.org

Bear with me while I tell you what a zettajoule is: a joule is a unit of heat energy, a zettajoule is that unit with 21 zeros behind it: 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 joules. It’s a lot of heat energy. — PolitiTweet.org

The segment of human energy use derived from fossil fuels creates climate conditions that pump 14 zettajoules of excess heat into our oceans every year—that is multiple Hiroshima-sized nuclear blasts worth of heat per second, nearly 30x our total global human energy use every yr. — PolitiTweet.org
