Summary
The World Meteorological Organization warns that Earth's energy imbalance has reached a record high. Rising temperatures are just the tip of the iceberg. Most of the excess heat is hidden in the oceans, with far-reaching impacts on our climate. Zhao Ying speaks with Bod Ward, the policy and communications director at the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment, to explore what this growing imbalance means, why it matters, and how it is shaping our planet's future.
