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

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

This is not just unique in human history, its comparables can only be found in geologic time. And it doesn’t even count the ocean acidification. Yet we proceed on our way oblivious, beguiled by the lies of the fossil fuel industry and its skeezy front groups. — PolitiTweet.org
