Activity 8: The oceans as a climate buffer
Without our oceans, comparable greenhouse gas concentrations would lead to much higher temperatures on Earth - fortunately, however, a large part of the additional energy entered into the climate system ends up in the oceans.
The heat storage capacity (and thermal conductivity) of water can be impressively experienced with the simple experiment of activity.
