https://www.skepticalscience.com/underground-temperatures-control-climate.htm Q Climate Myth... Underground temperatures control climate "There are other possible causes for climate change which could be associated with solar activity or related to variations in the temperature of the liquid core of the Earth, which is about 5,400 degrees Celsius. We don't need a high heat flow - just a high temperature for the core to affect the surface climate. There is massive heat inside the Earth" (Doug Cotton) UQ Figure 4: The volumes of the cubes are proportional to the magnitude of the energy flow from various sources. The solar irradiance is the incident energy, averaged over the area of the Earth (divided by four); irradiance varies over 11 year cycles and, at the top of recent cycles, can reach 341.7 Wm-2. The increase in anthropogenic forcing since pre-industrial times comes from the IPCC. The heat flow from the Earth’s interior is the 47 TW figure (see Figure 3 caption) averaged over the surface area. The energy flow from the human energy production is based on Flanner (2009). Tidal energy is the total energy input from the gravitational interaction between the Earth, Moon and Sun; a small part of this energy is included in the energy flow from the Earth’s interior (see below for further discussion). Figure 6. The global annual mean Earth’s energy budget for 2000 to 2005 (W m–2). The widths of the columns are proportional to the sizes of the energy flows. From Trenberth et al (2009). Q Comments 1 to 1: william at 06:12 AM on 19 September, 2011 Clearly, the heat from inside the earth does not have any effect on the weather or the climate in the sense that this article explores. However, the heat from the earth may possibly have a contributory effect on ending a glacial and nudging us into an interglacial. In that sense, it would have a major effect on the climate. See: http://mtkass.blogspot.com/2011/09/continental-glacier-meltdown.html William UQ
In the Global Energy Flow above, it seems the significance for the Net Absorbed 0.9 Wm2 could be relatively small when comparing to other sources (one is −12 .6 by JRA) as further mentioned below. Question 1: This 0.9 Wm2 includes the effects by all the GHG (Greenhouse Gases), without analysing how much is/was mainly due to CO2. Question 2: When several other measures are valued at over 100 Wm2, just 1% error would significantly override the positive value of 0.9 Wm2 figure, fairly easily. The author did not mention this possibility at all, objectively.

NASA Recorded starting in 1958 by the late geochemist Charles David Keeling, the Keeling curve measures atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations. Scripps Institution of Oceanography Geostationary satellites like Geo-Carb and the GOES weather satellites (shown here) are positioned over the equator at an altitude of about 36,000 km (or 22,300 miles) above Earth’s surface and orbit at the same speed as the Earth’s rotation, making them appear to stand still. OCO-2, like the Low Earth satellite shown here, samples a much narrower area. UCAR
If you did you would realize that whatever warming there is...is not global. Nor is it Anthropogenic.... Your 97% consensus is a fallacy. And you just keep lying about it.
Now the above data shows the one single source of problem would be " Sediments and sedimentary rock 1,000,000,000 billion tonnes of carbon The carbon cycle overlaps the rock cycle. Ocean sediments and the rocks they turn into contain huge amounts of carbon. This is mostly in calcite and limestone. " . Then the logical solution could be fairly simple: - How to treat the " Sediments and sedimentary rock " Long and Far before flowing/depositing into the oceans!!! - Where are the humans and industries who make that? - Why do they install special treatment plants to manage the problem? - How should they collect, store and dispose the problematic after-treatment materials? - Perhaps find a useful application for the after-treatment materials? Or dispose them to suitable places the scientists think fit? Burn them as alternative energy source? ??? - Plastic micro-beads must be banned worldwide!!! Only just in the US (already done)! No wonder that both sea Level and Temperature have been rapidly risen! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_level_rise - ??? https://www.geolsoc.org.uk/ks3/gsl/education/resources/rockcycle.html
Yeah ok troll. Scientific consensus: Earth's climate is warming Temperature data from four international science institutions. All show rapid warming in the past few decades and that the last decade has been the warmest on record. Data sources: NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, NOAA National Climatic Data Center, Met Office Hadley Centre/Climatic Research Unit and the Japanese Meteorological Agency. Multiple studies published in peer-reviewed scientific journals1 show that 97 percent or more of actively publishing climate scientists agree*: Climate-warming trends over the past century are extremely likely due to human activities. In addition, most of the leading scientific organizations worldwide have issued public statements endorsing this position. The following is a partial list of these organizations, along with links to their published statements and a selection of related resources. https://climate.nasa.gov/scientific-consensus/

The beads are already banned in the US, but are still common in Britain. They’re a threat to marine life and potentially to humans, but the poll also found that most people don’t actually know what they are
