Sea levels rise by 'unexpected' amount in 2024: NASA

[ReinyDays]

What strawman? I asked you a simple question.

So answer it.

Coastal Baja is quite mild compared to the Sonora Desert to the east ... that's your answer ...

I'm sorry you don't understand ... that's your problem ...

Now answer my question ... what force holds heat energy IN the ocean? ... rather than radiating, convecting or (to a much lesser degree) conduct away from the ocean surface ... or are you still maintaining that liquid water is transparent to ionizing radiation? ...

No "force" holds heat in the oceans. Water has a very high Specific Heat capacity.

Look it up.

Then you withdraw your claim that heat is "stored" in the oceans ...

Specific heats off the top of my head are water at 4 J/K/g, dry air at 1 J/K/g ... doesn't change the fact that temperature is either equal, or forces are acting to make temperatures equal ... any stored energy would have to be shared by air and oceans, and in the proportions I've given above ... notwithstanding convection ... water takes 2,100 J/g to evaporate ... that does make your specific heat argument look really silly ...

Again ... blackbody radiators don't store any energy ... your premise is flawed from the beginning ...

No, I don't. Water has a high Specific Heat Index. Look it up if you don't know what that means.

The vast majority of the heat – about 89% – is stored in the ocean; about 6% is warming the land; about 4% is warming the cryosphere and about 1% the atmosphere.

Can't wait for idiots to argue it's the atmosphere warming the ocean instead of the sun.

I just gave it to you, stupid ... 4 joules of energy per kelvin per gram ... I know this by heart ... here's another one I know by heart ... the Latent Heat of Evaporation is 2,100 joules of energy per gram ...

So where's you energy getting stored ... liquid water or water vapor ...

What force causes the heat to remain in the water and not flow to equilibrium with the atmosphere? ... for extra credit, what's the specific heat for rock and soil? ... 30% of our blackbody surface is land ...

While keyboard warriors righteously pound their keyboards, insurers cancel policies in cities and counties where disasters are becoming more frequent and more severe. Government agencies refuse or are unable to rebuild infrastructure before it's destroyed again in the next disaster. Homeowners sell their homes and relocate.

Ahhhh, getting hostile. Try again, junior.
