re: Thanks for the link TB
I am sure that it will be valuable in many instances.
You said:
The main point was that the energy balance of the Earth is a process, a flow, not a bucket into which things are dumped to just lie there, and that in a flow of that magnitude, it takes a hell of a lot to make even a small difference in the mean condition.
I agree with you on that.
IF the extra energy that is generated (by whatever means) to give us a a comfortable life style here on Earth is "radiated" into space, then I do not see any reason to worry about global warming, on the other hand IF the generated energy also strips the atmosphere away from the planet then I would be very concerned.
Has anyone even considered checking out such a possibility?
