Previously I had written in these two newsgroups, several times,
that the amount of energy being retained by Earth due to our
release of CO2 into the atmosphere is equal to about 2,880
Hiroshima Atom Bombs ("Big Boy") per day.

I was horrible wrong, for which I apologize. That number is no
where near the actual value.

The Hiroshima bomb, Little Boy (not "Big Boy") released somewhere
between 54-75 TJ and the surface of the Earth is about 510,000,000 km^2.

Show your math to get to a number of 0.6 with units of W/m^2.

I was wrong because (1) it was "Little Boy" that was used on
Hiroshima, and (2) my figure for the bomb was far too low.

Are these (below) *NOT* the correct values?

Yes: that is one of two errors I had made. The second error was
the estimate amount of energy released by the bomb.

Aprox 63 terajoules according to Los Alamos. [4, 5]

Yes. 510,072,000,000 square meters. [1]

> Show your math to get to a number of 0.6 with units of W/m^2.

It's 0.58 watt per square meter, plus or minus 0.15 watt per
square meter. [2] If I did the math correctly, Earth is retaining
anomalously, due chiefly to human-released CO2, 295,841,760,000
joules per second. That's 426 terajoules per 24 hours, or 6.78
Hiroshima atom bombs per day. If Sam Wormley or anyone else cares
to correct me, I will thank her or him very much for doing so.

Isn't that about 3 orders of magnitude too low? 510 * 10^6 km^2
is 510 * 10^12 m^2.

That looks 'way off, too, unless I'm doing something very wrong.

Lessee, 510 * 10^12 m^2 * 0.58 W/m^2 is about 296 * 10^12 W, or
about 1000 times your figure per comment above. Multiply by
86,400 seconds/day to get around 2.55 * 10^19 J, or 2.55 * 10^7
TJ. It looks like maybe you multiplied by the number of minutes
in a day, rather than the number of seconds.

From off the top of my head it's mor elike 420,000 63 TJ bombs per day.

I.e. 5e14 m2 at .6 W/m2 == 3e14 W by 86400 sec == 2.6e19 J.

C.f. measly 63e12 J from a toy atomic bomb.

WikiPedia states 510,072,000 km^2 so I added three zeros.
510,072,000,000 m^2, or 510*10^9 which was *WRONG.* Damn it.

My convertion program says 510,072,000 km^2 equals 5.10072e+014
m^2 which is 510,072,000,000,000 so you are 100% correct, and I am
100% wrong once again.

You are right, I am once again wrong, damn me.

Thank you; "Little Boy" was a tiny bomb, as modern atomic bombs
go: about 15 kilotons of TNT. My error was in Earth's surfae area,
stupid me.

The curret rate of anomalous energy being retained by Earth every
day due chiefly to human-released CO2 is equal to 407,277
Hiroshima bombs---- the median estimate of "Little Boy" according
to Los Alamos. Most of that energy (roughly 85%) is going into the
world's oceans.

This is more than twice the amount of the sun's variability, at
0.25 watt m^2. Worse yet, since the middle of year 2002 the sun's
total irradiance steadily decreased until the middle of year 2009,
yet four record high global average temperatures occurred during
that time span. Only the increase in atmospheric CO2 explains why.

Total solar irradiance will peak in year 2013, and I have a $100
wager offered to anyone who cares to take it that says year 2013
will set a record high global average temperature.

Oh muffy look! This is too funny for words. Global alarmists actually
trying to do athrithmetic, let alone the science they pretend to know!

Instead of "off the top of your head" which is the way you do all your
"science" by making it up on the spot, try doing what Jimp said and show
your work! We've already noticed your "method" of starting with a false
made-up premise and doing some (wrong) arithmetic to make it seem as if
it's "science". (Sun shines on both sides of the earth during the day?)

Your scientific abilities are really, really convincing to a skeptical
public! No wonder the only people who believe in global warming are the
radical fringe of society. (Also noted that since we started comparing
you warmists to fundies, you started calling skeptics "cults". Can't you
ever think of anything yourselves? Do you always have to accuse your
critics of what they accuse you of doing? Start putting that CO2 you are
exhaling to some use!)

I'm sorry this is too embarrassing for you, I can't even stand to watch
any longer...

He forgot one thing and that is the size of an atom that was

could release all that energy. It is smaller than a CO2 molecule .It
is in fact smaller than minuscule. He claimed that these minuscule
atoms had 63 terajoules released by the atomic bomb that
exploded over Hiroshima.Next he will try to tell us that CO2 is the
reason for the present global warming.

It must be also evaluated in context of Solar "constant",

Did you begin by noticing the false premise that this "retained" heat is
due to solely to CO2 AGW? Plus Wormley asserts this figure comes
basically from ocean warming. (which is about the only thing easily
measured). Is that true?

"As shown in Figure 2, there has been no warming of the “Indian &
Pacific Ocean Plus” sea surface temperature anomalies since 1995. That
doesn’t mean that one of the individual ocean basins has not warmed. See
Figure 5. The Indian Ocean (60S-30N, 20E-120E) sea surface temperature
anomalies have warmed, except it’s at a rate that’s about 42% of what
was simulated by the IPCC’s climate models. And as noted earlier, the
North Pacific data shows that it has cooled. So has the South Pacific
(60S-0, 120E-70W). Refer to Figures 6 and 7. Think about that for a
moment. Not only has the largest ocean on this planet not warmed in
agreement with the models, it’s actually cooled over the past 17 years."

http://bobtisdale.wordpress.com/2012/04/29/what-do-observed-sea-surface-temperature-anomalies-and-climate-models-have-in-common-over-the-past-17-years/

Obviously not.

So with a half percent of the sun's energy being retained in the earth
each year, I presume that we all need to be scared that in a couple
hundred years the oceans will be boiling and all life on the planet will
cease? Allow me to point out that energy like CO2 is in an equilibrium.
There are many mechanisms here (many not understood) that control this
equilibrium. The idea of the energy of 400,000 nuclear bombs each year
building up until the planet explodes is patent scientific nonsense as
well as being based on lies.

So while actual principles of equilibrium are ignored, huge calculations
with many zeros are used and compared to things the ignorant public can
"understand" like nuclear bombs to create scare tactics. It's patent
fraud. I dare say the earth is NOT going to explode from "retained"
energy nor is all life going to be snuffed by "retained" CO2.

Unfortunately since it's all politics now, no true speculations on
unknown mechanisms are really permitted and no trustworthy data seems to
be available any longer.

But we can still be amused watching warmists trying to convert square
kilometers to square meters or power to energy.

Unfortunately the data for high latitudes has large error bars.
ARGO was performed by "ships of opportunity:" the 3,000 expendable
bathythermographs were used on ships that just happened to be
going in the desired areas, with little representation in high
latitudes.

Below the 900 meter depth, the average amount of energy taken up
by the oceans in four years (2005 to 2008) was 0.77 watt m^2;
above that depth, a bloody hell of a lot more than the 0.6 in the
previous decade.

Unfortunately a hell of a lot of energy is still "missing." We
know Earth retained it because satellites measured energy going in
and coming out, but the entire excess is still not accounted for.

Yes, as in poorly put ! sorry! The "Joule" is the prefered unit of
measure for "heat"
or heat energy. Note: "Joule" is a "unit" of heat (measurement) not
heat itself!
A watt-second is easly "measured" to almost any degree of precision,
by electrical means.

A "Joule" is the equvalent hear energy of one watt-second. Their are
many forms of energy,
all of them the integral of power, over time. including
horespower-hours. All of these
forms, potential, (before the bomb goes off}, or kenetic, (after the
bomb goes off),
normally use the same units of measure, "Joules" as "heat" energy.

Your use of Joules with lotsa incorrect zeros is not a visualization,
but rather an effort
to awe, and confuse, the innocent. What is the energy received from
the Sun by the
Earth, per day, in kilotons? That would be a visualization, because
it would convey that
the earth is not a baseball, but instead, very large and massive,
along with a sensible heat
so large that, in fact, it takes a century, to change the earth
temperature by 0.5 Kelvin.

It would also "show" that the sum of all Anthropoidal efforts to
change anything, are so puny,
as to be inconsequental. Visualize that!!!!

there is no anomaly, the heat retained, 0.4% of received, is
persactly on schedule!

That is 1350 W/sq-M Mean! with a variance of between
32 to 50 W/sq-M depending on details. all above the atmosphere.

On the surface it is 10% or

135 W/sq-M with a variance of 40 W/sq-M, measured not calculated.

> The +0.58 watt m^2 value is above the solar variance mean.

Now, According to AWGFats, +0.58 W/sq-M is above 40 W/sq-M variance!

Ludicrously wrong as usual, wackjob. It's the variation he's
talking about, and while it appears to be larger than 0.25 W/m^2,
it's way smaller than 32, let alone 50.

"Total solar output is now measured to vary (over the last three
11-year sunspot cycles) by approximately 0.1%,[3][4][5] or about
1.3 Watts per square meter (W/m2) peak-to-trough from solar
maximum to solar minimum during the 11-year sunspot cycle."

Then let's see those measurements. Oops, we probably can't,

The definitive study is published here, and elsewhere:

The median is 1,366. See specifically:

Ah, I see. Your 0.25 W is variation at the surface. That was a

Where do you get 32-50 W/m2 variance from ?? The solar constant varies
by around 0.1%. If you mean the seasonal variation due to eccentricity,
that is less than 1.7%.

The actual direct solar irradiance at the top of the atmosphere
fluctuates by about 6.9% during a year (from 1.412 kW/m^(2) in early
January to 1.321 kW/m^(2) in early July) due to the Earth's varying
distance from the Sun, and typically by much less than 0.1% from day to
day.

I can't find this para nor these numbers in the wiki page you cite.

OTOH I can see from the chart 1975--2005 the daily irradiance varies from
1.365 to 1.367 over the course of 1 year.
<http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0d/Solar-cycle-data.png/280px-Solar-cycle-data.png>

The text says even UV component varies by 1.5% from solar minimum
to maximum.

And the total irradiance changed by no more than .1% from Maunder
Minimum and the present.

From the wiki link above:

"Variations in total solar irradiance were too small to detect with
technology available before the satellite era."

How do you know, to within 0.1%, what the total solar irradiance was
during the Maunder Minimum?

D'oh. No wonder. I was looking at .../Solar_variation. Funny, I though
I just clicked on the link in the article.
Plugging in apehelion/perihelion (1.52/1.47)^2 sure gets 1.069+.

Maybe you have not searched for it, otherwise you would find it.
( 3rd sentence in 3rd paragraph )

It is logical, the yearly fluctuation has to be in ratio
cca ( 152 / 147 ) ^ 2 , what fits well the variance mentioned above.

The measured variation for both is about 2% for both, about +- 2
watts/ sq-M.
over short periods < 10 years!

Variance not variation. Statistical thing. The variance comes from the
limits.
50 W/sq-meter, linear, 32 W/sq-meter. gaussian. how do you do it?

If you wish to really want to blow your mind, tink of variability!
Something like the linoleumizationability of the kitchen (dirt) floor.

I love the way you warmists fundies constantly display your gross

Sorry "Uncle Ben", but the bomb used on Hiroshima was named "Little Boy"
by the people who made it. The plutonium bomb dropped on Nagasaki was
named "Fat Man". I just love the way you uneducated illiterate media
types pretend to know science to try to convince what you see as a

No Ben the Ocean is just the big,big, big sensible heat Efalump in the

The Ocean with its sensible heat is the reason the earth temperature
has
"only" changed by 0.5 Kelvin in a century. Everything is on schdule.

I do not know what you mean by equalibrium The heat of the earth has
never been in equalibrium with anything. Always trying to catch up
using the
most exquisite thermal control system EVAR! Earthlings cannot fuck
it up!
Plants (food) just love seasons! So do most other critters!

Both? The solar constant is calculated for a fixed distance of exactly
1AU. The solar cycle causes a periodic change in the solar constant, but
the measured values since 1975 are less than +/- 1 W/m2.
The percentage seasonal variation of the total solar irradiance caused
by the eccentricity of the orbit is approximately double the
eccentricity, but this has virtually no effect on the total irradiance
over the year.

If you want variance. look at the variance of power provided by the
solar panels
on the space station. Poutnik is close 1300-1400 W/sq-M incident
radiant flux.
This variance shows what the sun "is" doing, not what it is supposed
to do.

Those tha use averages when integrals are required are bound to fail.
That is why, along with stupid assumptions, the AGW folk fail. We have
only
this one planet. Their numbers are always incorrect, yet they sitll
insist others
pay for sequestering CO2, so they can profit.

The AGW folk are so far away from understanding or calculating what
the earth
is doing, their publishing anything at all, is proof of no science.
They cannot
even say what is important. All the real science folk say, "I do not
know".

When someone uses a term like AGW folk you know he is full of heifer
dust. The scientists are not AGW folk . They are scientists from all
over the world who contribute to the science reported by the IPCC
reports. You also make a statement "Their numbers are always
incorrect" yet you have not provided one per review study that refutes
any of the studies.

Here is a stupid statement "yet they still insist others
pay for sequestering CO2, so they can profit." The they being the AGW
folk I presume? When did the scientists who provided the science to
the IPCC ever say how sequestering CO2 should be paid for? In Canada
the government of Canada and the governments of Alberta are providing
billions of tax dollars for sequestering and for studies when it
should be industry who pays . You may be fine with figures but you are
very short on the truth Will.
