My eyes were opened when I saw the calculations for how many watts of energy a 1 C change in the atmosphere equals. It is something like the world's total energy output over a ten-year period. Think of the weather system as a huge engine. We are effectively stepping on the accelerator with an enormous number of terawatts. That's a lot of wind and rain.
