The ocean retains heat for much longer than land does. If people everywhere stopped burning fossil fuels tomorrow, stored heat would still continue to warm the atmosphere. But that doesn’t mean the planet returns to its preindustrial climate or that we avoid disruptive effects such as sea-level rise. By Richard B.
