This imbalance has roughly doubled since 2010, in part due to increasing <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/GreenhouseGas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GreenhouseGas</span></a> concentrations, and because the <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Earth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Earth</span></a> is now reflecting less sunlight to space than before.<br>Global ocean temperatures hit record highs for 450 days straight in 2023 and early 2024.
