The next para:
Another consequence is that water requires much more energy
to heat it up than does air. On a volume/volume basis, the ratio of
heat capacities is, of course, 3,300 to 1. One practical result of this
is that it is almost impossible for the atmosphere to exert a
significant heating effect on the ocean, as is often asserted to by
promoters of global warming alarm. For to heat one litre of water
by 1oC will take 3,300 litres of air that was 2ohotter, or one litre of
air that was 3,300oC hotter, neither of which is a common scenario
within our every day weather system. Instead, it is the ocean that
controls the warmth of the lower atmosphere, in three main ways:
namely, through direct contact, by infrared radiation from the
ocean surface and by the removal of latent heat by evaporation.
