Oh, FC posted his big scary chart again. Once again 10^24 joules would equate to 1 degree increase in ocean temperature (and is the accepted standard for plotting ocean heat content) Your chart is in 10^22 joules to make the situation look big and scary - a typical alarmist misrepresentation. The ocean temperatures measured by ARGO - 0.06 Degrees increase since 1960. The temperature increase is meaningless. and yes, Heat Content equates to Ocean Temperature. There is no issue and no reason to be concerned in the least bit.
I just have to ask....... For arguments sake let's agree GW is correct, the earth is warming due to Man's greenhouse emissions..... Futurecurrents, what's the answer? What do *cough* 97% of the scientists say we need to do?
"Heat capacity, or thermal capacity, is the measurable physical quantity of heat energy required to change the temperature." IF the oceans heat content were increasing so would the oceans temp. No?
Damn it Tao, don't do your Lucrum impersonation. If you're going to insult at least use your own thoughts. Lucrum is the lowest one here and you smart guys on the right lower yourselves to his ignorant level. How in the hell you guys picked the dumbest one here to follow I don't know.
T "Science" is bringing the big guns now! We had better just give up, set our hair on fire and run in circles yelling "wake up and pee, the world is on fire"!
