There's also a number of interesting applications in the evolution of Earth's atmosphere that branch off from the runaway greenhouse physics, for example how fast a magma -
ocean covered early Earth ends up
cooling — you can't lose heat to space of more than
about 310 W / m2 or so for an Earth - sized planet with an efficient water vapor feedback, so it takes much longer for an atmosphere - cloaked Earth to
cool off from impact events than a body just radiating at sigmaT ^ 4.

I wonder if the
cooling earth, the lowering
ocean, and the growing polar ice have driven him to desperation; could it be the GISS code
about to be cracked?

ocean, I took Stephen's comment to be referring to the fact that cyclones funtion as gigantic heat engines that draw heat from the upper
ocean, so perhaps the ultimate effect of highly active cyclone seasons is a
cooler SST.»

There is pretty good evidence in the tropical
ocean paleo that the LIA was
about a degree
cooler in ~ 1700 and since higher latitudes tend to amplify tropical advection, global temperatures could have be more than 1 C
cooler.
So think for a minute
about exactly how the
ocean cools at night.
Since 4C is
about the average of the deep
ocean, more

Tomorrow we'll pay attention to that very interesting new study
about clouds — a bombshell we think — but today we have another one that should serve as a foundation to scientific thinking
about climate forcing, namely the suggestion that «not all climate forcers are equal» — equal in the way they act as a
cooling or warming force, considering important factors like time scale and the geographical characteristics of a planet with a 3D atmosphere and a northern hemisphere with land masses and a southern hemisphere with just mainly a lot of
oceans.
And if talking
about large atmosphere - Venus hits that threshold, whereas Earth does not, the contraction of atmosphere will heat the planet - or said differently as a planet
cools it's atmosphere and
oceans and / or land will contract keeping heat temperature constant.
Marine Debris — This includes everything from construction materials to beer
coolers, but when we're talking
about ocean plastics, we generally mean the bigger pieces that are easily seen and can readily be picked up.
To point out just a couple of things: —
oceans warming slower (or
cooling slower) than lands on long - time trends is absolutely normal, because water is more difficult both to warm or to
cool (I mean, we require both a bigger heat flow and more time); at the contrary, I see as a non-sense theory (made by some serrist, but don't know who) that
oceans are storing up heat, and that suddenly they will release such heat as a positive feedback: or the water warms than no heat can be considered ad «stored» (we have no phase change inside
oceans, so no latent heat) or
oceans begin to release heat but in the same time they have to
cool (because they are losing heat); so, I don't feel strange that in last years land temperatures for some series (NCDC and GISS) can be heating up while
oceans are slightly
cooling, but I feel strange that they are heating up so much to reverse global trend from slightly negative / stable to slightly positive; but, in the end, all this is not an evidence that lands» warming is led by UHI (but, this effect, I would not exclude it from having a small part in temperature trends for some regional area, but just small); both because, as writtend, it is normal to have waters warming slower than lands, and because lands» temperatures are often measured in a not so precise way (despite they continue to give us a global uncertainity in TT values which is barely the instrumental's one)-- but, to point out, HadCRU and MSU of last years (I mean always 2002 - 2006) follow much better waters» temperatures trend; — metropolis and larger cities temperature trends actually show an increase in UHI effect, but I think the sites are few, and the covered area is very small worldwide, so the global effect is very poor (but it still can be sensible for regional effects); but I would not run out a small warming trend for airport measurements due mainly to three things: increasing jet planes traffic, enlarging airports (then more buildings and more asphalt — if you follow motor sports, or simply live in a town / city, you will know how easy they get very warmer than air during day, and how much it can slow night - time
cooling) and overall having airports nearer to cities (if not becoming an area inside the city after some decade of hurban growth, e.g. Milan - Linate); — I found no point
about UHI in towns and villages; you will tell me they are not large cities; but, in comparison with 20-40-60 years ago when they were «countryside», many small towns and villages have become part of larger hurban areas (at least in Europe and Asia) so examining just larger cities would not be enough in my opinion to get a full view of UHI effect (still remembering that it has a small global effect: we can say many matters are due to UHI instead of GW, maybe even that a small part of measured GW is due to UHI, and that GW measurements are not so precise to make us able to make good analisyses and predictions, but not that GW is due to UHI).
