You can not be serious... if you are of the school of thought that God created the Earth, then you have to believe that he created the cycles that keep the Earth sustainable and able to provide life... storms move moisture and heat across the earths surface and stabilize our atmosphere, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions recycle the rock and minerals on the planet and make more usable land and add richness to soils.
So, for example, a big part of what drives a hurricane is the fact that you've got a lot of warm water near the surface of the ocean that is transferring heat into the air, and that's what's moving up, and that is a big part of then what's propelling the entire bigger storm system.
One result is a flow of cold deep water toward the equator and warm surface water toward the poles, and this «overturning circulation» plays a crucial role in moving heat around the globe.

This means that, e.g., if heat moves from the tropical surface water (temp about 25C) to surface waters at lower temps, the net effect is a subsidence of sea level — even without any change in total heat content.
If there is no opposing surface or heat source, heat will only move FROM the surface / source INTO the gas.
Now, if we want to move further into the future, we have to include the oceans, which are also absorbing heat from the atmosphere — so if we warm the atmosphere, we warm the oceans (as well as the land surface).
The paper illustrates the importance of remembering that the atmosphere and ocean surface are just a small component of the Earth's climate system — with the ocean depths having a vast capacity to absorb and move heat on time scales ranging from years to centuries and longer.
Do photons from the surface of the earth heat up the CO2 molecules that absorb them (where heating up would mean making them move faster), and transmit this heat to other air molecules by collision.
For reference, the amplification is related to the sensitivity of the moist adiabat to increasing surface temperatures (air parcels saturated in water vapour move up because of convection where the water vapour condenses and releases heat in a predictable way).
Rock doesn't move during the short time scales needed for the surface to come into equilibrium, so the only vertical heat transport is by diffusion.
The oceans are warming, and these hurricanes represent one mechanism that moves the heat from the surface to high levels in the atmosphere where it can escape to space.
We will start with a theoretical radiatively inert atmosphere which will still have undulations at the tropopause due to uneven surface heating below but they will be minimal and so for all intents and purposes the rising and falling columns will both follow the dry adiabatic lapse rate as they move up and down:
What I'm thinking is that the primary way that the energy captured by CO2 gets dissipated is not radiation, partly back to the surface, but primarily upwards convention as the kinetic transfer between gas molecules moves the heat rapidly throughout the atmosphere.
The process of such evaporation and then condensation together with those other weather processes is an express route to get heat energy from ocean to surface to atmosphere to space and the bigger the temperature differential between ocean surface, atmosphere and space the faster they must all work to move the atmosphere back towards a temperature equilibrium.
By default, water at the surface does not move (a «slab ocean»), but it is also possible to prescribe ocean heat transport or to take wind - driven ocean heat transport in low latitudes into account through a simple one - dimensional model driven by surface winds.
The sun's heat on the Earth's surface and atmosphere provides the energy to move the atmosphere and oceans, producing winds, ocean currents, and the water cycle.»
Once again, a group of believers (Leviticus) claims that a strong change is discernable in some aspect of the AGW mythos, yet when the Leviticus paper is actually read, it is clear that as Pielke, Sr. points out, OHC is in reality not doing what is predicted, is significantly lower than the AGW prediction, and that Leviticus offers no mechanism to move this heat fromthe surface to the depths, unless one accepts arm waving as the method of moving heat content.
According to Trenberth the deep ocean is warming due to the action of increasing global winds causing surface heat to move to the deep ocean.
The adiabatic lapse rate also acts as a negative feedback by moving heat higher up into the atmosphere where it can more easily escape, which also serves to cool the surface.
Schemes whereby currents could somehow move the heat from the surface to below 700m without warming the first 700m on average have been proposed, and maybe some are plausible — but warmer water rises.
The problem is that you would need to move cooler water from deep down to the surface in order to heat it.
From that point, is there any plausible non-magical wishing mechanism to move the heat from the surface down to the depths?
People promoting boreholeometers believe that surface heat from say, 500 years ago crept below the surface during the day, and did not move back toward the surface at night when the surface cooled.
rw (05:22:03): «The motions of the massive oceans where heat is moved between deep layers and the surface provides variability on time scales from years to centuries.
Francisco (09:12:57): Go ahead and explain how additional heat in the atmosphere moves from the atmosphere to the ocean surface, and from there to the deep oceans, ** without first producing any warming in the atmosphere or on the ocean surface water ** Just because you don't know how it can happen, does not mean that it is not happening, just that you don't understand how.
Winds move the heat from the ocean surfaces to various parts of the land surfaces (where we mostly live).
The farther away from the surface the air moves, the less heat there is to absorb.
Well I would agree that convection does move a lot heat around, but convection is strongest from surface to mid troposphere.
For example, with a warm surface and a cooler atmosphere, at the boundary layer heat will be conducted into the atmosphere and then convection will move the heat higher up into the atmosphere.
The overturning circulation pushes water through the Atlantic Basin, distributing heat as it moves warmer surface water from the tropics toward Greenland and the high northern latitudes and carries colder, deeper water from the North Atlantic southward.
Experiment 5 gives a clear demonstration of why the surface is far better at conductively heating a column of moving gases above it than it is at conductively cooling it.
How much of the energy within the atmosphere is other then radiative, conducted from the surface to convection currents, and or latent heat moved via evaporation?
I often read that these systems simply «move heat around,» but that seems to be short of the mark when there are papers that both sides take seriously that look at the contribution of these systems to global surface temps over 15 + years (like Xie).
Surface heat will radiate downwards and also be moved by ocean currents.
Basically for a moving atmosphere the surface is better at conductively heating the atmosphere than it is at conductively cooling it.
Firstly convection of the real gas Air which when heated becomes lighter than air and rises taking away heat from the surface and as it rises heavier colder air above flows beneath to take its place; these are called winds, volumes of air on the move.
Once the hot spot has moved on, the delta T between surface and air causes Heat flow.
Currents that move through the upper ocean then dive down to depth may move some of the surface heat to the deeper waters, especially where the currents have dived not just from cooling water (hot water would tend to go up, cold water would tend to go down) but because it is driven in «conveyor» systems which may run counter to expectations of where water should go when considering only local conditions, and especially, if the water is dropping because of an increase in salinity.
