Hiroshima-Bomb Heat-Clock Fraud …Claim 2.1 Billion Climate Ground-Zeros, Yet Can’t Find A Single One Of Them!
SkS Hiroshima-Bomb Heat-Clock Fraud …Claim 2.1 Billion Climate Ground-Zeros, Yet Can’t Find A Single One Of Them!
The alarmists at Skeptical Science put up a “Hiroshima Bomb Heat Clock” claiming that the earth’s climate system has “accumulated” over 2 billion Hiroshima bombs worth of thermonuclear heat since 1998. This heat, they say, will pop out in the future and make us all very sorry.

Yet, despite the hundreds of millions of Hiroshima heat bombs, we have seen 0°C of warming in the earth’s atmosphere during the very same period. Comically, despite the 2 billion plus climate ground-zeros, not a single one of them can be found in our atmosphere:

So where could all that heat possibly have gone? Why hasn’t the global atmospheric temperature gone up with all that accumulated (trapped) heat?
The answer is that a part of this alleged quantity of heat very likely has not been permanently trapped. A significant part likely has been re-radiated back out into space. Things like that happen when it’s a little warmer. Moreover, much of it probably has been absorbed by the oceans, whose sheer mass has a thermal heat capacity that is 100 times that of the atmosphere. Even SkS acknowledges this here.
The problem is that the SkS bedwetters would like to have us believe that the heat absorbed by the oceans is somehow getting packed in a compact suitcase, is getting transported around below the ocean surface for awhile, and that it will later get suddenly belched out back into the atmosphere almost all at once. This is a story that is either the product of astonishing ignorance or a malevolent desire to deceive.
That’s not the way heat behaves, of course.
Think of it as hot water getting introduced into a bath tub filled with cool water. The heat just doesn’t stay together in a clump and swim around waiting to scald you 30 minutes later, rather it quickly gets distributed via conduction and convection throughout the entire bathtub.
In a similar manner, heat absorbed by the ocean gets distributed around the ocean’s vast volume via convection and thermal conduction as well. It just doesn’t stay clumped together, hide for awhile, and later pop out all at once. It’s very complex and it just doesn’t work the way the SkS horror-storytellers say …

Chilean newspaper Credits ‘Celebrity skeptic’ Morano with Fueling Growing Climate Skepticism: ‘Morano is one of the main leaders of the new breed of climate skeptics’

Newsweek said in 2009 that Marc Morano, Climate Depot founder of the blog, was becoming the “king of the skeptics” and his website was one of the main mechanisms to cast doubt on the work of scientists climate. But being qualified as a celebrity skeptic of global warming is the least that has been said of Morano.
Some highlights his place on the list of “the main enemies of the planet” which drew Rolling Stone in 2010, where next to characters like Senator John McCain, media mogul Rupert Murdoch and billionaire businessman and Warren Buffett. According to Erik Conway, historian and co-author Nasa Merchants of Doubt, Morano is one of the main leaders of the new breed of climate skeptics, those who question the theory of global warming and attributed to an alleged manipulation data to cause alarm.
Today’s Morano says, skepticism is going through a good moment.
This is confirmed by a survey of Yale and George Mason universities, which shows that while in 2008 10% of the U.S. population does not believe in global warming, in November 2013 the percentage had more than doubled, reaching 23% . “The rise of skepticism restores my faith in the intelligence of the people and their critical thinking. Skepticism is winning, because artificial climate fears have become absurd,” says Morano and also cites a Gallup poll released this week, in which a list of 15 issues of concern, global warming appears in the penultimate place among the concerns of Americans, far behind the economy and federal spending. While 24% of them consider that climate change is a “big issue” of concern, 51% simply cares little or nothing.
