Durante las últimas décadas, los océanos han estado absorbiendo el exceso de calor recibido por el sol a una tasa equivalente a cuatro bombas atómicas de Hiroshima cada segundo.

Volumen 376, Núm. 45, 1 de octubre de 2012, Págs. 3466–3468 http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0375960112010389 The slope of the global heat accumulation graph tells us how rapidly the Earth's climate is building up heat. Over the past decade, the rate is 8 x 1021 Joules per year, or 2.5 x 1014 Joules per second. The yield of the Hiroshima atomic bomb was 6.3 x 1013 Joules, hence the rate of global heat accumulation is equivalent to about 4 Hiroshima bomb detonations per second. That's nearly 2 billion atomic bomb detonations worth of heat accumulating in the Earth's climate system since 1998, when we're told global warming supposedly 'paused'.
