What do you think you mean by this statement?
What do think heat is?
What do you think radiative forcing is?
What do you think additional heat is?
I know exactly what is meant by those terms. Do you have a point to make?
Well as you made a point that I assume made sense to you, I assumed also that you would be able to say why. Perhaps not.
Your statement does not make much sense to me because, for example, heat does not go anywhere. But perhaps your understanding of heat is different from mine, which is why I asked the question. I might have asserted that you are wrong but I would like to know why you think what you do. Perhaps I am wrong.
I am not sure if I would understand at all what you mean by radiative forcing, which is why I asked the question.
I am not sure at all that I understand what you mean by "additional heat", which is why I asked the question.
it is up to you whether you want to communicate something useful or simply broadcast your assertions, but surely the point of a debate is to have an exchange of views, not simply a statement of "I know what I mean". I know what I mean too but I don't assume I am omniscient.
You asked me what I thought heat, radiative forcing, etc., were. I did not respond that I knew what I thought they meant (that would be tautologous), but that I knew what they mean. I mean by those terms exactly what is meant by those terms in general scientific/engineering discourse.
If you do not know what is meant by those terms, you should have said so, rather than insinuating ignorance on my part.
Let's start with heat. You say it doesn't go anywhere. An astounding claim. How do you think radiators work, if heat can't go anywhere? Ever heard of convection, conduction, radiation?
