Ocean Warming Accelerating Quicker than Thought

What percentage of the (oft disputed) changes we are seeing can be attributed to "nature" and what percentage is "natural?"

Jesus.

I think we should just keep on pumping green house gasses & all other pollutants into the biosphere until which time everyone is dead.

Then we will have no doubt as to what is causing the problem.

Certainty has its' pluses; even if we are all dead.

Personally, I would prefer that as to living under leftardz in office and in power for the rest of my life. But, that's just me.

Jesus.

Sorry.

I fixed it.

It was me, I peed in the ocean when nobody was looking.

How much heat does the CO2 in the oceans retain?

You're telling that story, you answer.

You're telling that story, you answer.

Ocean Warming Accelerating Quicker than Thought

Ummm….what?

 

[cnm]

What percentage of the (oft disputed) changes we are seeing can be attributed to "nature" and what percentage is the result of "man?"

Pre and post industrial, Shirley?

 

[cnm]

Ummm….what?

You said

How much heat does the CO2 in the oceans retain?

Which begs the question as to whether CO2 in the oceans retains heat.

You lost me.

Not hard to do.

I'm multitasking.

I'm still interested in someone explaining the physics of how atmospheric CO2 heats the ocean now all the way down to 6,500m. That must take A LOT of energy. How hot must the atmosphere be to add heat to a column of water 6,500m deep?

Now you're getting it.

Getting what, that you have no answer? Just think about it. Not a dig, I'm not being glib, just think it through

Oh, I thought you were getting the idea the oceans hold a lot of heat. But, obviously, no.

They hold heat? I thought heat radiates toward cooler? Do the fishies eat the heat?

You're absolutely confident that atmospheric CO2 can heat the deep ocean? I think you're having second thoughts

Yet another Trumpette that thinks they know shit about anything.

Any large mass can absorb solar heat

Atmospheric CO2 is a driver of the greenhouse effect that can hold heat.

But if you must have an answer I suppose inorganic C retains roughly 28ppm of the ocean's heat.

The average concentration of inorganic carbon in the ocean is ~2.3 mmol kg−1

You haven't seen anything yet.

 

[cnm]

You lost me.

The changes can be determined by comparing pre industrial conditions and present conditions. No?

 

[Chuz Life]

YES.

Assuming the "natural" causes are constant and consistent.

Which they are NEITHER.

You said "How much heat does the CO2 in the oceans retain?"

Yes I did.

If Johnlaw hadn't run away from his claim, maybe he could tell us?

 

[jknowgood]

Earth has been warming and cooling for a LONG time. Settle down spaz.

What an idiotic comment. Never this fast. Get an education.

How far back are you going? How long do you have records?

But if you must have an answer I suppose inorganic C retains roughly 28ppm of the ocean's heat.

The average concentration of inorganic carbon in the ocean is ~2.3 mmol kg−1 and its residence time is ~200 ka.

First time I've ever seen heat measured in ppm.
You're an innovator.

So allow for natural variability. What is your problem?

I imagine you'd have had the same revelation with heat of inorganic C as a percentage of total.

But why didn't you work it out?

 

[EvilCat Breath]

How do you intend to reduce carbon emissions in India, China and Africa?

Why didn't I work out your silly bad math?
