New Science: Geothermal Energy Becomes Key Factor In Climate
Geothermal energy is an emerging and important consideration in understanding earth’s climate. In this extensive video presentation leading researchers in the field detail why this long-overlooked science requires mainstream recognition.
Introduced by Professor Arthur Viterito, a physical geographer from George Washington University of the College of Southern Maryland, now retired and devoting time to revealing the geothermal impact.
Presenters, in order: Arthur Viterito, James Kamis, Wyss Yim, Brian Catt 0:00 Introduction 01:46 Art Viterito: Mid-Ocean Geothermal Flux 23:53 James Kamis: The Plate Climatology Theory 42:34 Wyss Yim: Geothermal impacts of volcanoes 01:09:03 Brian Catt: Do Submarine Volcanoes Change Climate? 01:41:51 Q and A
Professor Viterito begins:
“My presentation is going to be the mid ocean geothermal flux impacts on the thermohaline circulation and Global Climate uh James cus is a geologist the author of The book’s PL climatology Theory and geological impacts on climate the title of his presentation today is going to be the plate climatology Theory how geological forces influence alter or in some cases control Earth’s climate and climate related events.”
Dr Yim is a geologist from the University of Hong Kong with interests in submarine vulcanism and its impact on sea surface temperatures the title of his presentation today is geothermal impacts of volcanoes atmospheric UH plumes and oceanic blobs and finally Brian Catt is a physicist and engineer with interest on volcanism paleoclimate and the physical bases of the volcanic and astrophysical influences on climate. The title of Brian’s presentation today is ‘do submarine volcanoes change Climate?’
VIDEO TRANSCRIPT SAMPLE:
“So today I’ll be speaking about the mid ocean geothermal flux and its impacts on the thermohaline circulation and global climate so the first slides up there with the UA Global temperature average for the past 25 years Global temps have experienced relatively small yet significant will for the past 25 years global temperatures have experienced a relatively small yet significant warming.”
There is the average yearly global temperatures from 1979 to 2022 as measured by satellites and compiled by the University of Alabama Huntsville. The prevailing school of thought is that rising levels of anthropogenic carbon dioxide are driving this increase.
Now two important features stand out from the time series of global temperatures first is that the warming has been punctuated by distinct inflection points as we can see here on the graph, we can see these two episodic jumps one in 1995 – the other commencing around 2015 the second point is that the uh UAH data shows that there’s an uneven geographic distribution in rates of warming there’s a clear north to south gradient with the greatest warming occurring at the North Pole.
In this case the North Pole is designated 60 to 90 degrees north latitude it’s a north polar region this phenomenon is well documented in literature and is referred to as the Arctic amplification.
Now these curves are from Hawaii and the South Pole and they cast serious doubt on the CO2 as a control knob hypothesis first if the CO2 is rising steadily then why is the temperature increasing in a punctuated fashion?
Second, if we have virtually identical concentrations of CO2 at two distant points equator and the South Pole why do we have a highly irregular geographic pattern of temperature increase, so these two things don’t comport with each other?
Furthermore, the models which predict the warming based on CO2 as the driver or wilfully inadequate suggesting that a different mechanism is probably responsible. So here we see the projections for global temperatures based on co2 concentrations, which is the black line here and here.
We see the actual temperatures is measured by three different Suites or ensembles of data the U satellites the RSS satellite and the four different reanalyses until recently there’s been very little research on the impact of geothermal heat and its impact on global temperatures.
It has not been a popular topic for discussion and we know that the vast majority of geothermal heat is emitted by volcanoes and hydrothermal vents in the middle of the world’s ocean basins.

“Volcanic CO2” by Timothy Casey at Geologist-1011.net made me aware of geothermal climate forcing, as well as the undersea rift zones contribution to maximum dissolved CO2 in the ocean and the one way outgassing of this CO2 into the atmosphere. There is NO human CO2 acidification of the oceans.

Hi Joseph,
There is also outgassing of O2 from the ocean with increasing temperature. Neither O2 or CO2 have any effect on the way energy is lost by radiation into space since this loss occurs in the upper thermosphere.

Hi Fellows,
I don’t contest your explanations but can you really ignore the vast number of weather station measurements of atmospheric temperatures and side by side measured atmospheric dew point tenperatures where one must conclude that an atmospheric temperature is never lower than the atmospheric dew point temperature. This must be considered a natural physical law which refutes the prediction of the GreenHouse Effect that if there were no atmospheric carbon dioxide that the air temperature would be about 33C (56F) lower then that being measured..
Except as I write this comment, I finally see, the fact that it generally accepted that water gas, is a better greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. As I pondered this problem, I have read about a year long project (https://follow.mosaic-expedition.org/) And I know one, or more, experiments was the measurement of atmospheric gases. A recent Russian project which measured extreme cold is (https://principia-scientific.com/leading-russian-scientist-predicts-global-cooling-begins-in-2030/). So I am convinced there must be measurements of atmospheric carbon dioxide when the atmosphere is extremely cold and I predict the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide would be found to be somewhat normal if measured.
Have a good day

Total BS
Wild speculation
No data
No global average underseas heat release data
Ni evidence underseas heat releases can be measured at the oceans surface
Unknown if the underseas heat releases are in a rising, falling or steady trend over time
This is conservative tin hat conspiracy theory claptrap by people who can’t accept that CO2 is a greenhouse gas (stupid people)
Science requires data

Hi Richard,
At a temperature of -80 c (15 micron wavelength) CO2 will absorb radiation and radiate that radiation in all directions, thereby slowing the flow of energy from higher to lower. At other temperatures it will just transmit energy from collisions in the direction of the flow of energy just as N2, O2, and argon do. So the data shows that CO2 is a greenhouse gas when the temperature is -80 C. The stupid people are those that think that CO2 is a greenhouse gas anywhere in the troposphere (which is where the gas exists).

Typical Herb Rose claptrap not worth refuting which a century of scientists and lab spectroscopy already have.

Meanwhile as you slowly lose your audience here with your unwarranted hostility you still haven’t fixed your link problem which YOU can fix in the blog account you are administrator of…… if you know how to do it here is a description of your problem:
(Your website) “uses encryption to protect your information. When Microsoft Edge tried to connect to (your website) this time, the website sent back unusual and incorrect credentials. This may happen when an attacker is trying to pretend to be (your website), or a Wi-Fi sign-in screen has interrupted the connection. Your information is still secure because Microsoft Edge stopped the connection before any data was exchanged.”
You can’t visit (your website) right now because the website uses HSTS. Network errors and attacks are usually temporary, so this page will probably work later.

Hi Herb Rose.
I remember John O’Sullivan one time stating, “please do not feed the Troll”.
I would like to see Greene blocked from this site.
This comment, “This is conservative tin hat conspiracy theory claptrap by people who can’t accept that CO2 is a greenhouse gas (stupid people)” is the same language that bullied people into getting the clot shot which killed them.
Not a problem having disagreements on science, but abusive blind evil is abusive blind evil.

Hi matt,
His refusal to repudiate is an admission that he can’t.
On your animation of geothermal heating the colors represent the difference in temperature from surrounding water.
The red water off Japan is 71 F just like the green water off Hawaii, while the yellow water off Indonesia is 81 F. It is an indication of differences in surface temperature not actual temperatures.

Hi Herb.
You have nearly got it. The animation records anomalies, higher or lower than historical average for that location. White is historical average.
This here gives the actual water temperatures. Between Australia and Timor Leste is nearly always the warmest SST.

Hi Matt,
Isn’t that what I proposed? The water at the equator gets hotter around the islands because they act as a dam creating a pool of hot water, which results in the Pacific Equatorial current flowing under the hotter water.

Yes Herb . It is what you proposed and I found your comment potentially ambiguous because basically I am naughty.
^Keep an eye on that Japanese warm spot. About 4 degrees C above average. It was a “tight spot’ like that on the Peru coast that fired the El Nino and that Ja-pan spot warmed a vast area of ocean.
I do a bit of research on tectonic plates their relative movements, and hydro thermal vents in such anomalously warm areas.
There are a lot of hot water vents around the Galapagos Islands which could explain the pulsing but it is not the spot that started El Nino.

Hi Herb Rose again. At the end of the animation it looks like we already have a La Nina forming with a marine heatwave between Australia and my place. (NZ)
Best to keep a watch.

Hi Matt and Herb,
At previous article (Solid Science Supports …) you can read: “Imagine the effect when you are trying to sleep

Why haven’t you fixed your blog link that would make it possible for people to visit your website?

OK MattH,
Let’s censor people by vote of the other people — do you see the controversy? Mr. RG is not our “enemy,” he is a victim of manipulation of data and gaslighting the masses.
What I do, I just skim over certain people’s posts and go on — why should we burden our PSI managers with censorship…
Cheers, JaKo

Hi Richard,
Is your comment a description of itself? For there is no indication if is directed to the article or to one of the comments which already existed when you submitted your comment

Question. If it were possible to use heat from the earth’s core how long would it be before the CO2 became too much for the eco nuts to bare? We need to use what we have.

Hi OG,
Funny you brought this up — it would take a few hundred years to see the results! The CAGW nuts don’t want to wait that long for vindication of their drivel!
BTW
IMHO Herb may have some shortcomings, but he ain’t no nuts, OK?
When I went to my PHYS101 the world worked differently than by today’s standards, many things are possible now, but CAGW ain’t one of them…
Hey, merry holidays or whatever to you all, cheers, JaKo
