Indeed.
@Shapedoctor
If you don't want to quantify significance, then you might find this more to your liking, a quantification of heat: Human Heat Balance
Using an average from the variables and multiplying by estimated population size, one could figure out the total heat generated by humans worldwide.
But of course, there are other factors to consider...
Could it contribute significantly to global warming? Not imo. We're probaby doing much more harm by exhaling.
It would be interesting to see a comparison with, say, geothermal radiation, though. |
Thanks for the link. It sounds interesting and I'll be checking it out.
I think we're probably doing more harm with our CO2 as well, but the debates I see about global warming in forum arguments tend to fly all over the place. The skeptics tend to pollute the issue with endless links and distractions. I'm attempting to make an ultra-simplified proof that we do in fact contribute to the heating of our environment.
