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 the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
"The magnitude of the increase is unprecedented," said Norman Loeb, a NASA scientist and lead author of the study, which was published this week in the journal Geophysical Research Letters. "The Earth is warming faster than expected."
Using satellite data, researchers measured what is known as Earth's energy imbalance - the difference between how much energy the planet absorbs from the sun, and how much it's able to shed, or radiate back out into space.
When there is a positive imbalance - Earth absorbing more heat than it is losing - it is a first step toward global warming, said Stuart Evans, a climate scientist at the University at Buffalo. "It's a sign the Earth is gaining energy."
That imbalance roughly doubled between 2005 and 2019, the study found. "It is a massive amount of energy," said Gregory Johnson, an oceanographer for NOAA's Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory and co-author of the study. Johnson said the energy increase is equivalent to every person on Earth using 20 electric tea kettles at once. "It's such a hard number to get your mind around."

They mean unprecedented for the last 50 years when they could actually accurately predict such things?
Run for your lives......teh sky is falling! ( sarc.)
Lefty socialsist Scientists cannot handle science.
They go for the grant money from the left every time.
Ho much you want to bet that this NASA scientist will soon have a condo in the Tahitian Archipelago with Obama?

I no longer believe anything anyone connected to the government says, nothing
Yep. PURE BS!
Still More #ComDem_Insanity!!!
Well at least we averted that coming Ice Age they told us was coming 50 years ago
Fear porn sells. It is almost as addictive as sex-based porn, and enjoyed by many of the same people.
Raise your heads and look around, people. There are still many reliable and significant reminders that tomorrow WILL come, though not all shall partake of embracing that new dawn.
Optimism may be a curse, but it still beats the alternative.
If they really believed it, they would telecommute to their conferences and cut off their own emissions.

What? You don’t believe that the icecaps have disappeared and New York has been underwater since 2013?
By the way, it was January 7, 2019 when Sandy Cortez said that “the world is going to end in 12 years if we don’t address climate change.” By my calculation, you only got 9 years, 7 months and 67 days left. Aren’t you skeered?

I will read it in more detail, but on first perusal there appears to be a lot of supposition involved in the data assessment and conclusions. Also, it studies a 14-15 year period (from 2005-2019), a very short period in the grand scheme of ‘climate’. Further, one wonders how they adjust for vegetation growth as an energy sink.
Make people angry; suddenly find most are now ‘hot under the
collar”. Those old wives certainly had their own way regarding science and theories.
What is laughably called “science” has been thoroughly corrupted by politics.
Exactly so.
