Now I am the first to admit that 1e22 joules are a heap of joules and when someone is faced with the fact that the ocean heat content has been rising at a steady rate of around 1e22 joules / year since 1970, the first reaction is to say «O. M. G.!!

On average the radiant energy in joules absorbed equals the radiant energy in joules later «re» - emitted.

[Response: The relevant phenomena is the heat flux and so it's measured in Joules, J / m2 or perhaps better, W / m2 to get the rate of change.

By the way, it is the same quantity whether it's measured in total Joules or converted to W / m ^ 2.

Secondly, unlike the global average surface temperature trend, which has a lag with respect to radiative forcing, there is no such lag when heat content is measured in Joules (see http://blue.atmos.colostate.edu/publications/pdf/R-247.pdf).

The general argument however is being discussed by rasmus in the context of planetary energy balance: the impact of additional CO2 is to reduce the outgoing longwave radiation term and force the system to accumulate excess energy; the imbalance is currently on the order of 1.45 * (10 ^ 22) Joules / year over the globe, and the temperature must rise allowing the outgoing radiation term to increase until it once again matches the absorbed incoming stellar flux.

Given that a hurricane removes something like 5 * 10 ^ 19 joules per day from the ocean (http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/tcfaq/D7.html), I too am curious as to hurricanes» purpose in Mother Nature's scheme of things.

Latent heat to melt ice: 355,000 joules / kg x 1,000 kg / cubic meter x 10 ^ 9 cubic meter / cubic km = 3.55 x 10 ^ 17 joules to melt one cubic kilometer of ice.

Basaltic magma has a specific heat of 1,000 joules per kilogram per degree Celsius.

Dividing that number into the quantity of joules of heat released by the volcano that we calculated above, we find that the cubic mile of magma can melt roughly 82 trillion kilograms of ice.

The said «small amount» means something in Joules world wide, it should be quite a large number of Joules.

In total, one kilogram of molten basalt at a temperature of 1,350 degrees releases 2,19 million joules of heat into the surrounding atmosphere.

In other words, a kilogram of magma releases 1,000 joules of heat energy for every degree it cools until it transforms into a solid.

One kilogram of ice at 0 degrees Celsius requires the addition of 333,550 joules of heat energy to turn it into a liquid.

Multiplying the weight of a cubic mile of lava by the heat energy released per kilogram and we find that a Pompeii - sized underwater eruption releases 2.739 x 1019 joules of heat into the sea.

In units usual to the field this is ~ 200 cm - 1 (multiply by the speed of light in cm / sec and Planck's constant to get Joules) but some of them have much more energy.

Then as the solid rock cools from 1100 degrees to 0 degrees Celsius it releases another 1,400 joules per degree, or 1,540,000 joules.

I'm glad that we now have those 1024 Joules which are much easier to grasp for policy makers and the public.»

-- I also think some of the answers are wrong, for example the question on converting kW hr to joules for the PV cell (600 kW hr * (3600000 J / KW hr) doesn't work), or need re-wording (like «what is the ratio of the Hoover dam to the solar farm», what does that mean?)

However, if you convert miniscule warming from degrees C to Joules, extrapolate for the entire ocean and scale things, you get a much more alarming picture.

Perhaps you can thank Staten's presence, with Recore sharing with classic Halo the same appetite for pulpy sci - fi told with puppy dog enthusiasm; Joules herself is a lightly sketched out yet endearingly upbeat lead, while Far Eden itself is a captivating sprawl, full of mysteries secreted under its baking sands.
