Turns out we don’t have to invoke weapons of mass destruction when talking about ocean heat uptake. The ocean absorbed a record-breaking 23 zettajoules of heat last year, equivalent to 40 times the energy used by humanity. It’s not going to end well.

Graph showing precipitous drop in tonnes transported through the Strait of Hormuz over the last year. Starts off with numbers in the 4000kt then dropping off to almost nothing. There is a brief period where tankers get through during the “ceasefire” at the beginning of the summer, then that abruptly ends.

Graph of WTI crude oil prices over the last year. Bottom timeline of graph is cut off. We see prices peaking at $120ish early in the war, then dropping a bit, now coming back over $100 and at $90.32 for a barrel today.

Graph of US strategic petroleum reserves over the last few decades. It rises around the gulf war, then drops around the start of the Ukraine war, comes back up, now dropping to lowest level ever, 298,694 1000s of barrels.

Chart of regular gasoline prices in the US as of this month showing the average in the country is $4.187 a gallon, which is up $1.305 from a year ago.
