Over the last 40 years, as much as 360 million Hiroshima bombs blew into the oceans

Summer is a major reason for the changes in ocean temperature and climate. According to a research of the 8, the temperature of the ocean is constantly increasing. New records are being made in the last 3 decades. An international team of 7 scientists has studied ocean temperature rise data since the sixties. In this process water temperature is measured from the surface of the sea up to a depth of 5 thousand meters. The study published in the Advances in Atmospheric Science shows that the temperature of the oceans is constantly increasing. The temperature recorded in the last five years is also the highest in the decade.


Scientists at the National Center for Atmospheric Research believe that global warming is the only reason for rising ocean temperatures. Over the past 6 years, sea temperatures have risen three times faster. The temperature of the oceans began to rise during the period from 1 to 5. There has been a 4-fold increase over the 3-year period from 1 to 5. Thus, in six years the oceans absorbed as much as six sextelian heat. That is equivalent to a 10 million atomic bomb compared to the heat of a nuclear bomb dropped on the city of Hiroshima in Japan during World War II. This means that an enormous amount of energy is being absorbed into the ocean, with an average of 3 to 5 bombs every second.

However, the chain continues to grow in a halt. About 4 percent of coral and algae are destroyed on islands such as the Maldives that are suffering from global warming. The ocean saves up to 5 percent of its energy, while the remaining 8 percent is either dissipated or wasted in the Earth's atmosphere. Increasing the temperature of the oceans reduces oxygen, which turns into a deadly acid for marine life. The only way to reduce the carbon foot prints is to prevent the rising temperatures of the oceans.
