A water radiator in your car shows you well how effectively water
snatches the heat from the engine, but eventually that heat goes to the
atmosphere. It shows you how effectively the oceans take in the warmth
radiated from Earth's interior through cracks, volcanic ridges etc. Take
for instance the Mid-Atlantic ridge -- it is a great, powerful heater.
It's heating power depends on the tectonic activity. Every Earth ocean
is full of such ridges. They stretch for tens of thousand kilometers(!).
Research submarines showed there a great tectonic activity, countless
high temperature geysers. All this has influence on average water
temperature and its energy.
It looks very probable that the current Earth seismic activity is on the
rise. It is an axiom that external Earth's temperature is connected to
internal temperature, especially on such an seismically active planet
like the Earth.
Yes, air is a poor heat conductor, but the more warm oceans are the more
clouds they generate. The Earth's climate is highly dependable on the
amount of clouds and amount of energy in the atmosphere itself. Clouds
are very good reflectors of heat. So, the scientists, along with
measurement of annual air temperature, should accurately measure the
average Earth albedo. It is more important then hundredth parts of CO2
and a greenhouse effect.
It is clear that many clouds will cause the surface cooling, and the
increased snow cover will also reflect a lot of heat, and the process
can become avalanche-like. In this way we can expect an ice period
returning.
Bye, Bj”rn!
