Most incoming solar radiation is intercepted by tropical oceans. This is where most of the heat comes from, the real heat on Earth.
The world’s oceans move some heat to the higher latitudes including North America and Europe by ocean currents.
Should a lot of solar radiation come in on one exceptionally sunny day, the oceans still won’t overheat because excess energy can always move vertically by which I mean up. I have observed that this is especially the case late in the afternoon through the formation of cumulonimbus clouds as part of thunderstorms.
Once high up in the atmosphere all this energy can be radiated to space. And there is a lot of space, I mean there is still a lot of room in outer space.
This is why, despite more than one billion people, with so many cars, and all the factories producing plastic straws and bottles, the oceans on planet Earth are still not boiling.
Heat energy can be lost as noisy electro-magnetic radiation. The tiny moving charges move more and faster on hotter things. This means they generate more electrostatic and magnetic field changes.
When I go out on boats over the ocean late in the afternoon, I can be a part of thunderstorms that include light shows and so much crackling and banging. There was a big thunderstorm and light show just yesterday, late in the afternoon not far from the Tropic of Capricorn above the western Pacific Ocean where I live.
Meanwhile the people with much of the economic power in this world, they mostly don’t live in the tropics. And they don’t take the time to observe the different components of the atmosphere or even to sit outside during a tropical thunderstorm.
I wonder if they even know what rain smells like. I wonder if they think the smell of rain has changed with the climate that is always changing.
It was a few white men sitting inside, around a table in Massachusetts that is even further north than New York in another hemisphere, that came up with the idea that a doubling of carbon dioxide would cause global temperatures to increase by exactly 3 degrees Celsius and for the whole Earth.
They came up with this idea while acknowledging they had little idea about clouds – and had never visited the tropics.
That was in 1979, the same year that Margaret Thatcher became Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and the same year that Rupert Murdoch founded the global media holding company the News Corporation Ltd. Suddenly there was a push for globally relevant temperatures, news and within a few years the coal miners who had underpinned British manufacturing were to become villains in a new narrative about global overheating.

I am considering beginning a monthly Zoom group, to discuss these things. If you would like to be invited, leave a public comment in the thread that follows. Your email address will be visible only to me, and I can then use it to send the Zoom invite.
Jennifer Marohasy BSc PhD is a critical thinker with expertise in the scientific method.
A great idea!! I would like to join a discussion of the possible effect of man-made carbon-dioxide emissions on the earth’s energy transport process.
Jennifer I am old enough to remember that in the 1970’s the same sort of Elites and Left Wing types were telling us that we were going into a new ice age (Google Lenard Nimoy Ice Age) Unfortunately it is a political problem not a meteorological one. Gloom and Doom sells media better than common sense reason and facts.
We need to push the political side of it through people like the CO2 Coalition and the IPA. These people are driven by ideology not science or logic.

If the political problem began in 1979, and then was carried forward by Margaret Thatcher, and through into the Kyoto Protocol and on it goes… If it is essentially about the hijacking of science, and progressed often by imposters with no real understanding of what they are talking about.
Then shouldn’t one perhaps be looking to actually expose this. Shouldn’t one be actually looking to explain that the right of politics, not Greta Thunberg, is responsible for our fear of carbon dioxide?
Furthermore, it is never rebuttal that actually achieves changes. There is a need for a new paradigm, and that will not come from the CO2 Coalition and others obsessed with ‘rebuttal’. They have some vague idea of what they are against, but they have no idea of what a new and useful theory of climate might look like.
Under the ‘canopy’ of an orbiting Dry Cycle, surface temperatures rise over land and oceans/water bodies, as a result of the destruction of water vapour Albedo(reflectivity) by the ‘invasion’ into the upper atmosphere of expelled, charged Solar Particles.
However, the Drought conditions resulting for a land mass by such increased temperature, evaporation – and a subsequent reduction in precipitation, are juxtaposed with increased temperature and evaporation over various bodies of water,(such as Oceans/Seas/Lakes,) which may result in severe storms near the Westward-moving vanguard of the Dry Cycle as it moves around the planet. The weather patterns
near the Dry Cycle vanguard also remain influenced by the continuing effect of the West to East and towards the Poles travel of ‘normal’ weather patterns,(Axial Spin.)
This Temperature/Precipitation Paradox is very evident, when the Precipitation Satellite Radar Map is followed, in relation to the development and travel of a relevant Dry Cycle.
The vanguard of the current Regional Two Year Orbital Solar-induced Dry Cycle (which started its Terrestrial Footprint circa August 1, 2024) from 50 degrees East Longitude,(Madagascar,) has moved Westward at 15 degrees per 30 Day/Night Interval Month, to where it has now passed 0 degrees Prime Longitude, bringing Drought Conditions to most of Africa and Europe. This Dry Cycle will now continue across the Atlantic and bring Drought Conditions to North and South America and beyond throughout 2025/26.
I have been documenting the Global Satellite Precipitation Radar data from July, 2024 – and will publish it as an addendum to to ‘Tomorrow’s Weather’ thirty years on…. after the Dry Cycle Vanguard has cleared Europe and Africa,(circa mid-December, 2024.)
The set frequency, longitudinal geographical positioning and Orbital nature of these Solar-induced raised temperatures – and the reverting to the cooler ‘default’ Wet/Normal conditions after the relevant Dry Cycle has passed – shows there is NO significant overall Anthropogenic Global Warming – and never has been. The vilification of CO2 is especially reprehensible, by those who should know better.
