A comment on Ocean Temperature. Parent comment
I tried to replicate your maths using 1Bn W for a power plant and I get ~6.3M years. Did you use a different W?
I chose 1Bn from reading https://www.energy.gov/ne/articles/infographic-how-much-powe...
I'm glad your comment triggered me to do this exercise!
Boggling numbers all the same, and this is only the top half-mile of ocean
