Please explain how surface water temperatures become 2 degrees Celsius above average as a result of a rise in air temperature. The physics I did demonstrated that the air movement over water actually cools the surface due to evaporation. This is the way human beings keep cool by perspiration. It is all to do with the latent heat of water if I remember correctly.
Which will heat up the surface of the water quicker a hairdryer set at the or a radiant electric fire? The sun is the equivalent of the electric fire.

Climate change isn't about belief (faith / religion) its about discussing the facts openly and developing a strategy to prevent harm to the planet and its people. To accuse MM of living in a world of disbelief is defamatory. MM is a man who has studied this subject to post graduate level at University and has now dedicated his life to mitigating climate change.

I have tried to explain in other posts that if you want someone to take up a musical instrument you can try hitting them over the head with it until they comply. The effective way though is to play a beautiful tune on it and entice that person to play it because they want to. I know which method MM uses
