"“What people often don’t grasp is that it’s taken 100 years to get the oceans that warm at depth,” he says. “Even if we stopped using fossil fuels today, it’s going to take hundreds of years for that to circulate through the ocean. We’re going to pay this cost for a very, very long time, because we’ve already put the heat in the ocean.”"

@yokofakun The heat energy absorbed by the oceans in 2025 was “200 times the electrical use of everyone on the planet”. I hope we can find a way to harvest some of that energy to use or store or send into space, so we can slow down making things even worse

@yokofakun this sort of thing is why I keep wanting an estimate of the equilibrium temperature with our current atmospheric composition - the floor of how bad it would get if we stopped greenhouse emissions today and don’t hit any tipping points, the minimum of how hot a world our descendants will live in

And we are losing huge amounts of ground water which flow to the oceans and are forever lost for Hunan use.

Could we create (public) industrial scale water based heat pumps and heat our homes and cool the sea? -

@Kampfdiestel it is a problem of understanding though.
People in crippling cc debt or payday loans have suffered from a similar, but much shorter-term lack of understanding.
As soon as they start paying off the debt, a sense of relief will emerge. It's the sense of relief of the axe towards a neck accelerating slower.
Shortly after a sense of dread will emerge. It's the sense of dread of the sound of ABS in a car: the endless seconds before the slightly delayed collision.

Not anywhere noticeable by a factor of a million -

@ShadSterling @yokofakun If we stopped greenhouse emissions today, the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere would immediately start dropping as especially CO2 would be drawn down into solution in the ocean. Perhaps counter-intuitively, this will immediately fix the temperature to a constant value.

@yokofakun And we won't stop using fossil fuels ever. We will use more and more and more and more. Our solution to the Fermi Paradox.

@dasdom @yokofakun Short term gains for long term extinction. What's not to like? :/

@ShadSterling @yokofakun Note that this is about the Earth surface temperature, relevant for us humans and most living things. The deep ocean would continue to slowly warm for a long time.

@martinvermeer @yokofakun I don’t see your claim in the link, but it sounds like you’re saying that the concentrations of CO₂ in the atmosphere and ocean are far out of equilibrium, and would rapidly approach equilibrium by CO₂ moving into the ocean. If that rate hasn’t been keeping up with emissions already I don’t see why it would catch up quickly. But I suppose the idea does illustrate that I’d have to say more to justify treating that reference as a floor

@dan that's smart, because you'll 100% sleep after a long flight.

@Gina For me it's either at least a two night layover somewhere or ensure I land at destination in the evening to deal with jetlag, even if it's more expensive and with a worse airline.

Also, choosing Bangkok for a 3 day layover from Sydney to Amsterdam may have been the best idea I've had in my life.
