From The Washington Post: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The amount of heat Earth traps has roughly doubled since 2005, contributing to more rapidly warming oceans, air and land, according to new research from NASA and <\/a>the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe magnitude of the increase is unprecedented,\u201d said Norman Loeb, a NASA scientist and lead author of the study, which was published this week in the journal <\/a>Geophysical Research Letters. \u201cThe Earth is warming faster than expected.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using satellite data, researchers measured what is known as Earth\u2019s energy imbalance \u2014 the difference between how much energy the planet absorbs from the sun, and how much it\u2019s able to shed or radiate back out into space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That imbalance roughly doubled between 2005 and 2019, the study found. \u201cIt is a massive amount of energy,\u201d said Gregory Johnson, an oceanographer for NOAA\u2019s Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory and co-author of the study. Johnson said the energy increase is equivalent to four detonations per second of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima, or every person on Earth using 20 electric tea kettles at once. \u201cIt\u2019s such a hard number to get your mind around.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
