The thing that never gets brought up is the number of humans in what I call the Matrix issue. in the matrix robots used us for batteries off the heat we produce, we are actually terrible batteries, we don't produce enough heat to offset our consumption. but we are walking talking space heaters. stick enough of us in one space and it can get real hot real quick.
now obviously the world is huge, huge, even compared the almost 8 billion people here. but that heat has to go somewhere.
I don't bring this up as some rebuttal to climate change, just saying that we have to have an impact on the actual temp. not just the carbon we produce, or the damage to the environment we do.
going back to my schooling I think the human body produces as much heat as a 100 watt lightbulb (incandescent). incandescent are terribly inefficient, I can't remember how much of the energy they eat goes towards light vs heat, but I know its tiny in comparison.
100 watts x 8,760 hours = 876,000 watts per hour per person per year.
876,000 x 7,700,000,000 = 6.7452^e15 watts of heat energy a year for the worlds population.
6,745,200,000,000,000 watts
that's a decent bit of excess heat to account for. and the temperature change isn't that drastic.
just wondering if the literal human factor has ever been considered.
