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."

I have often thought that if all the roads worldwide were white, instead of black, much less heat would be absorbed. Same with roofs.
Would not have to be done with a NWO, just introduce it and let common sense rule.
There MAY be some common sense left yet in the world.
What a relief!
Last year plus three months the ‘party-line’ was keep locked down til summer because heat will kill the COVIDs. Then all will be OK again.
We should be fine now! -sarc off.
Epicenter Washington, DC?
Keeping mankind personkind in line requires the population in a constant state of fear that only politicians can assuage.
Solar Panels for residential use should only be allowed in specific situations. Solar Panel Farms should not be allowed.
There is a tremendous amount of heat that is generated by these panels.
A lie. The Earth radiates heat into space every night. The head doesn’t build up without end.
Somebody needs to open a window/s
No shit, Sherlock.
Typical case of measuring a result without understanding its meaning or relevance.
WE’RE DOOMED
Saved by glo-bull Warming!

Changing the weather intentionally or otherwise weather modification..(Earth cooling vs Greenhouse effect)
“Do you suppose we can learn enough, soon enough, to pull off a balancing act with the CO2 blanket saving us from another ice age?”
Hottest June on record here so far.
The Earth is now trapping an ‘unprecedented’ amount of heat.
Solar flare heat?.
Say what you want about Obama, he is the only president that actually brought about the private space age. Obama did it by destroying NASA by “wokeifying” it but who can argue with results?
Obama is one destructive turd.
Most of it generated by self-important bloviating by the Democrat Party...
Exactly. NASA's statement was likely followed by a request for more money to "study" the problem...
It’s called ‘Summer’, what can you do about it? extinguish the sun? move the earth a few miles away from the sun?
Sorry, no longer believe anything a government agency bleats.
Texas is due a cooling next week.
