Visible light penetrates past 30 meters.

Why? How far do you have to penetrate in any of the opaque materials that absorb almost every scintilla of energy that hits them? If water is NOT absorbing the IR that hits it and then disappears within a few microns, WHERE is that energy going?
Visible light penetrates past 30 meters.
I know. But to heat the oceans you have to penetrate really deep. Hundreds of meters deep. UV can do that. No other form of light can. UV can penetrate 500, to 600 meters deep.

No, that is NOT the point. You tell us that visible can penetrate meters but that IR is restricted to the first few fucking microns. Well, you hit that rock and you will be lucky to get a few nanometers into the material. HOW does that rock, get warm? Why doesn't all that heat immediately return to the atmosphere as you claim happens with water?
Wrong again. I stated that UV can penetrate the oceans deeply. Not visible light. Learn to read with comprehension.

Where did I say it couldn't penetrate a rock deeply? Please provide some proof of that.

Heat rises.
Thus to heat something as massive as the ocean you have to heat the depths, otherwise the heat escapes back to the atmosphere too quickly.
Take a look at the thermocline, it begins at around 200 meters and hits bottom at about 1000 (4 deg C)meters. Beyond that the ocean temp drops at a relatively uniform rate, at 4500 meters it is around 3.5 deg C. The Sun has been feeding heat into the oceans for billions of years. THAT is what has heated this planet. Not some barely detectable trace gas.

You would think that an ocean engineer would know this stuff wouldn't you?

An ocean engineer would know it's crap and that neither of you have the faintest fuck of an idea what you're talking about.
An ocean "engineer" who doesn't understand how the ocean is warmed... yeah, sure...

Yo, dipshit, when did I ever argue that point? Umm... never. I argued the five points up above. The ones you just ignored. Try again fool.
How far does light travel in the ocean?
Light may be detected as far as 1,000 meters down in the ocean, but there is rarely any significant light beyond 200 meters.
NOAA - National Ocean Service
The ocean is divided into three zones based on depth and light level. Although some sea creatures depend on light to live, others can do without it.
Sunlight entering the water may travel about 1,000 meters (3,280 feet) into the ocean under the right conditions, but there is rarely any significant light beyond 200 meters (656 feet).
The ocean is divided into three zones based on depth and light level. The upper 200 meters (656 feet) of the ocean is called the euphotic, or "sunlight," zone. This zone contains the vast majority of commercial fisheries and is home to many protected marine mammals and sea turtles.
Only a small amount of light penetrates beyond this depth.
The zone between 200 meters (656 feet) and 1,000 meters (3,280 feet) is usually referred to as the “twilight” zone, but is officially the dysphotic zone. In this zone, the intensity of light rapidly dissipates as depth increases. Such a miniscule amount of light penetrates beyond a depth of 200 meters that photosynthesis is no longer possible.
The aphotic, or “midnight,” zone exists in depths below 1,000 meters (3,280 feet). Sunlight does not penetrate to these depths and the zone is bathed in darkness.
‘Photic’ is a derivative of ‘photon,’ the word for a particle of light.

You have already been given the answer to all those...the fact that you don't like them because they are in opposition to your glassy eyed chanting cult's dogma is irrelevant.
What you need to realize is the far right hates science and wants to do away with it...No amount of evidence will ever convince them of the need for science.
The right is like the isis in many ways.
