This was a really weird video! It actually started out as a back of the envelope calculation for debunking the latest 'free water from air' BS from MIT.  It quickly then evolved into some fascinating comparisons of energies.  Mankinds power production.... vs large hydrogen bombs... vs solar flux... and finally due to extra energy being dumped into our atmosphere due to global warming.   Plus some of the footage of the Castle H-bomb test series is breath taking.  I also got a chance to put in some footage from the new solar telescope. :-)

Hopefully see you at the Patron hanout later this evening!

Global warming in NUKES PER DAY!

Pretty much what it says on the box! I was actually just running these numbers to debunk the MIT water from air thing..... turns out they are pretty sobering on their own! I didnt even realize it was Earth day till this morning.... after that I made a REAL effort to get the video finished today!

I've done similar back-of-the-envelope calculations to determine just how much oil we'd need to burn to heat Earth's oceans by 1 degree, if we used it all exclusively to heat the oceans. The hardest part was finding an estimated mass for the oceans, as density changes somewhat with mass. But the end result was that we could burn all known oil reserves and only heat the oceans by about 0.01 degree, probably less. It makes one appreciate the magnitude of the greenhouse effect.

Wasn't the 'free water from air' BS from UC Berkeley? I might be wrong about that though.

I love the video footage and editing and interesting analogy. You have implied, with emphasis, that nuclear bombs and man are weedy. Of course this is true compared to the Sun, but be aware that it might come across to one less informed that, therefore, it doesn't matter what we do, nature (of which, to some, we are bizarrely not a part of) will sort it all out and we can be as irresponsible as ever. The CO2 comment at the end was a bit too skinny for my liking. That is just some immediate personal feedback. Thanks for the work!
