BW except you are throwing around scary numbers without even trying to udnerstand them. This is pure mathematical/physical crap.
Okey, letīs say your random blog is right and you try to scare us with big numbers..
thatīs 1x10^21 kJ...thatīs
1x10^24 Joules to keep it simple
The total solar energy absorbed by Earth's atmosphere, oceans and land masses is approximately 3,850,000
exajoules (EJ) per year.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_energy
exa = 10^18
https://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exa
...Earth is getting
3,850x10^21 Joules per year or almost
4x10^24 J. In one year!!!
Earth is 510 million square kilometres
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth
The area of the Greenland ice sheet is 1.71 million square kilometers
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenla...ting_ice_sheet
1.71/510=0.003353 or 0.3% of the total earth’s surface
If Greenland was to receive it’s fair share of solar energy, it would receive 3,850,000 EJ/yr x 0.003353 = 12,909 EJ/yr =
12.9x10^21 J/ye ..thatīs is
1.291x10^24 J in one century!!!!
There is enough energy for all kind of physical
...just as long as you do actual math correctly...yes we can discuss that Greenland is quite far north so it probably receives less than the average solary energy, that if the ice sheet did receive the average amount of solar energy, the amount that is it is able to absorb as heat is much lower than the average piece of earth’s surface, i.e. all that ice has a high albedo...doesnīt matter. The energy deposit into Earth is enough...
