[QUOTE="essentialsaltes, post: 77206741, member: 294566"] The ocean is what we physicists call "very large" and each cubic centimeter has a heat capacity that's roughly 5,000 times that of an equivalent volume of air. The time-honored illustration is to imagine sticking your hand in a 100 Celsius oven versus sticking it into a 100 Celsius pot of water. The amount of energy pumped into the earth to make this happen is staggering. [/QUOTE]
