East Antarctica may be just as unstable as West

Of course he isn't...but that doesn't stop him from claiming to be one

Okay ... you win this one ... my apologies ...

My bet is that the emission along the seaboard has a great deal to do with the amount of nearly unbroken concrete to be found there.

In any event...the idea of geothermal energy driving the climate along with the sun makes far more sense than something as ridiculous as a trace "cooling" gas in the atmosphere driving the climate.

No ... the graphic shows three times as much energy leaving the surface as what can be attributed to the Sun ... cite please ...

I'm sorry ... a tiny temperature increase can be caused by a tiny amount of extra GHG ... how much we don't know, the thermometers we're using aren't accurate enough to tell ... we need to wait 100 years for that ...
here... more info.... it isn’t as if there were a shortage of it out there if one is intereste.

No ... those two maps are profoundly different ... your post #31 has the key to one of them, the other has no key and so conveys no information ... is red the color for 75ºC? ... that seems awful hot, like scalding hot ...

The article you posted above concludes that more research is needed, and from the article it appears very little has been done yet ... next we'll need to design and deploy more sensitive instruments to measure how much this is contributing to global warming ... and then collect good data for many many years to establish this internal heat is accelerating it's passage to outer space ... or has this amount of energy remained fairly constant over the past 50,000 years ...

There's no shortage of highly speculative articles ... and there's no shortage of adulterated maps either ... I'm just not interested in click-bait ...
 
they show the same thing...denial is a poor argument.

and when you consider that sort of thing happening all across the sea bed, there is your extra heat...not magical energy multiplication via backradilation from CO2.

Wow.

Global warning causes thermal vents at the bottom of the oceans

Horse feathers ... both maps only show a couple of places on the ocean floor, see post #31 ... your first map shows 600 W/m^2, your second map only says "warmer" ... what the hell does "warmer" mean? ...

What do you mean by "extra heat" ... we have all the heat we need to do all kinds of crazy batshit things, whatever can be imagined, and only in somebody's imagination ...

Energy from volcanoes is a very local affair ... the lava spewing out of Mauna Loa for example ... or under the Antarctic ice cap ... but 20 miles away, there's no temperature difference ... it's not that much energy to effect the entire global climate system ...

it is obvious that both images are of the same heat anomaly...

Energy from a volcano is a local affair...energy from hundreds of thousands of previously unconsidered volcanoes and vents is an entirely different thing.

it is becoming clear that vents in the pacific are responsible for El Niño events...hardly a local affair...and those vents are just tiny fraction of the total undersea volcanic activity.
 
"The heat welling up from Earth’s interior beneath ice sheets and glaciers has nothing to do with the relatively rapid change in climate over recent decades, driven mainly by human emissions of greenhouse gases that warm the atmosphere. Heat sources from the deep Earth can remain steady for 50, 90 or 100 million years; human-driven climate change is occurring over mere decades and centuries. "

Hot spots, such as those that created Iceland and ripped a scar across Greenland, that created the Hawaiian Islands and exist beneath Antarctica, do not turn themselves on and off on a human time scale. The increased melting of Antarctica and Greenland have done precisely that.
Once you adjust the data to hide the decline then add in a brand new data set: heat "trapped" ( like a rat!) In the deep oceans, yeah climate change takes place in a second
 
not new? How old are they? How long have they been active?

So you're actually still claiming that thousands of new volcanoes just recently popped up under the Antarctic ice, and that they're all magical undetectable volcanoes. You and your "DERP! VOLCANOES!" crew are a special breed of moron (though I believe people have pointed that out before.)

Where are the heat plumes that would have to be detectable? Where are the chemicals that would have to be detectable? The data says your theory is stupid, so your theory is stupid.

But then, your cult tells you to believe in idiot magic, therefore you believe in idiot magic, and no rational people will be able to convince you otherwise. That accounts for much of the laughter.
 
Average heat flux from internal heat -- 90 milliwatts/m^2

Average solar energy reaching the surface -- 161 W/m^2 of direct solar energy, and 333 W/m^2 of backradiation, for a total of 494 W/m^2. That is, about 5000 times more than the internal heat.

Average forcing from greenhouse gas changes -- 3 W/M^2, about 300 times the internal heat.

Conclusion -- Most deniers are incapable of grasping the concept of "scale", which leads to them making idiot conclusions.

Where are you getting these numbers? ... the 0.1 W/m^2 is close enough to the guessed value of 1 W/m^2 ... but ...

The published value for incoming solar radiation is 1,360 W/m^2 ... accounting for albedo and vector changes we have 238 W/m^2 outgoing terrestrial radiation ... the IPCC uses 1.8 W/m^2 for climate forcing, or about 236 W/m^2 actual outgoing radiation ...

You seem to miss the concept of scale as well ... 2ºC over 100 years ... that's a tiny amount, most people would notice that much warming from day-to-day ... but week-to-week? ... year-to-year? ... seriously, except for thermometers no one would notice if today was 2ºC warmer than it was this date a year ago ... or ten years ago ... why do you think this is catastrophic over a century? ...

---
One recent estimate is 47 TW, equivalent to an average heat flux of 91.6 mW/m^2
---

The published value for incoming solar radiation is 1,360 W/m^2

You have to average that over the whole earth, both sides, which instantly cuts it by a factor of 4. And then a portion of the radiation doesn't reach the ground.

... accounting for albedo and vector changes we have 238 W/m^2 outgoing terrestrial radiation ... the IPCC uses 1.8 W/m^2 for climate forcing,

That's for CO2 alone. For all greenhouse gas changes, 3.0.


or about 236 W/m^2 actual outgoing radiation ...

Not true, as growing seasons changes are already very obvious.
 
it is obvious that both images are of the same heat anomaly...

400 W/m^2 isn't an anomaly ... it's bogus ...

Superheated fluid is emitting from the vents at more than 800 degrees...exactly how many W/m2 do you think it should be emitting?

Your citation doesn't back that claim up ... care to try again? ...

Try reading a bit on your own. Science is now estimating that there are more than 10 million vents and volcanoes scattered across the sea bed...this isn't a hot spot here and a hot spot there scenario...vast quantities of energy are being released from the sea bed. Let go of your CO2 fantasy.
 
So you're actually still claiming that thousands of new volcanoes just recently popped up under the Antarctic ice, and that they're all magical undetectable volcanoes. You and your "DERP! VOLCANOES!" crew are a special breed of moron (though I believe people have pointed that out before.)

Still just making it up as you go...nothing new. Who ever said that thousands of volcanoes popped up under the antarctic? Read for comprehension.

Where are the heat plumes that would have to be detectable? Where are the chemicals that would have to be detectable? The data says your theory is stupid, so your theory is stupid.

The west antarctic volcanoes were not identified by heat plumes...they were found by measuring helium in the water...and any volcanic activity under east antarctica is going to be under even more ice than those of the west. They won't be identified by heat plumes..or chemicals seeping to the surface. The data says that you are a science denier who believes in a fantasy.

But then, your cult tells you to believe in idiot magic, therefore you believe in idiot magic, and no rational people will be able to convince you otherwise. That accounts for much of the laughter.

You are the poor dupe who believes that the atmosphere heats the ocean...and who denies the cooling trend in antarctica, and the southern ocean that has been going on for a good long while now. That is why you are considered to be comic relief.
 
You have to average that over the whole earth, both sides, which instantly cuts it by a factor of 4. And then a portion of the radiation doesn't reach the ground.

That flat earth based hypothesis is, in large part, why climate models fail so badly...we don't live on a flat earth...
