"The scientist John Abraham has previously calculated the accumulation of energy in terms of the explosive power of the Little Boy atomic bomb that devastated Hiroshima in 1945. In 2020, he observed that the amount of heat being added to the oceans was equivalent to about five Hiroshima bombs of energy every second. By 2022, this had gone up to seven Hiroshimas every second. Last year, the WMO figures suggest, it was closer to 11 Hiroshima explosions per second."

Ask any biologist. The overview effect surprises us because we see the planet that way always, every day of our lives. Since sending all people to space for 6 months is not feasible, we should instead teach ecosystem biology and atmospheric physics a core subject in primary and secondary school.
