- lasc4r 5y agoI'm not sure what you're getting at, are you under the impression that ocean temps haven't gone up by 1c since industrialization? Because they have.
- ppf 5y agoSurface ocean temperatures. It is in no way the same thing as the entire body of water raising in temperature by that same number.
- ASalazarMX 5y agoFortunately nothing important lives in the surface of the ocean, no need to panic.
- ppf 5y agoThat wasn't anywhere near the point. OP was talking about the amount of energy required to raise the entire ocean by one degree, which is a truly terrifying amount of energy. Fortunately, that's not what is happening.
