I've noticed that many Warmists seem convinced that the Earth must have stopped cooling billions of years ago, and totally ignore the fact that if the core is white hot, and the environment is around 3 K, then the crust is somewhere between the two, and there will be a temperature gradient between the centre of the Earth and 3 K.

«The situation is important for us, as the reduced temperature gradient between the equator and the North Pole is changing the circulation patterns and behaviours of the atmosphere and oceans, contributing to our direct experience of climate disruption.»

In the worst case, as the temperature gradient between the freezing water and the air increases, the energy transfer from the water to the air may now equal the energy loss from the air, at which point the air will stop getting colder.

If the DLR decreases, the temperature gradient between the surface skin and bulk increases, and more heat flows from the ocean depths to the surface where it is radiated away.
