The Greenhouse Effect doomsters seem ignorant of the size and effect of water as the dominant climate mover and shaker. As you pointed out, the energy going into the oceans is stupendously huge. The latent heat of vaporisation is large. The specific heat of water is large. The phase changes are interesting [especially into solid] because of the density effects - maximum density above freezing point with ice floating 90% underwater. The transport of stupendously huge amounts of heat and water from the equatorial regions to the polar regions in gas and cloud forms moves a LOT of heat. When it rains and snows the heat is released and the water removed from circulation for thousands of years if it ends up on ice caps. The Gulf Stream and other oceanic circulation moves vast amounts of heat around. The sinking of the Gulf Stream removes vast amounts of CO2 to the bottom of the ocean. Water is the totally dominant effect on climate. Water and plant cover. With plant cover resulting from water movement. Though they both affect each other. Mqurice
