- According to a 2019 study, the oceans absorbed 90% of the heat gained by the earth between 1971 and 2010. Another study discovered that it absorbed 20 sextillion joules of heat in 2020, which is the equivalent of two Hiroshima bombs each second.
- Every year, air pollution kills around 9 million people. Poor air quality will plague developing areas in South Asia and Africa for years to come, if not resolved soon.
- According to the status of our climate, the last decade was most likely the hottest in the last 125,000 years.
