- EForEndeavour 5y ago> It’s relatively easy to visualize five atomic bombs detonating every second Is it!?
- emkoemko 5y agowow...that is a lot, i think a lot of people don't understand what a 3c increase is, we need to explain it in term of energy.
- bellyfullofbac 5y agoAs I've read it described, we're boiling ourselves to economic prosperity...

- inkywatcher 5y agoI think the lack of uniformity is a big part of many peoples' climate skepticism. Certainly it is a talking point. It seems like many people have too little imagination to comprehend climate science, much less the appetite to learn something inconvenient.
- WorldMaker 5y agoNot all energy is heat. I think that's a problem with expressing the change in degrees Celsius. Wind velocity is another factor of increased energy in the climate that contributes to lower temperatures (wind chill). That's why scientists have been trying to make sure people call it "global climate change" rather than "global warming" because not all energy is heat and we need to stop giving the false impression that everything is just going to be hotter: more energy in the system will cause a lot of side effects that aren't just increased heat.
