[ECOLOG-L] Heat as a cause of global warming?
Greetings, Ecologgers. I wonder if anyone has yet considered this: Somewhere around 300 million years ago, a significant amount of the sun's radiated light energy was stored as carbohydrates in plant material, left unmetabolized, and is found today as the coal or oil we burn for energy. With every hydrocarbon oxidized in combustion, we get a proportional output of carbon dioxide, water, and heat. With every carbohydrate biologically metabolized, we get the same products; in either case, the sun's light energy is eventually converted to heat energy. I wonder this: how much heat is released when a hydrocarbon is burned? Where does the heat go? Perhaps, does the heat of combustion, in addition to carbon dioxide's effect in the atmosphere as a greenhouse gas, contribute to global warming? I imagine the heat that radiates from a hot car engine, multiplied by every car in Chicago, or every car in the world at one moment. Then, the heat produced by all coal-powered electrical energy plants. Were all this heat consolidated, it would be disastrously warm locally. Dispersed, and over time, it is subtle, if not imperceiveable. Where does the heat go? Is it converted to other forms of energy (what kinds?)? How long does it stay in the atmosphere? Is global warming, in part, a result of a latent release of the stored solar energy as heat? Has this hypothesis been tested? Let me know what you think. Thanks much, Steve Caird [EMAIL PROTECTED]
