Let’s do a little thought experiment. While the sun is huge it is millions of miles away. The earth’s core is molten iron undergoing spontaneous fusion. Both the sun and earth’s core are about 5,000 degrees.
My deck is about 40 degrees or let’s say maybe 10 degrees C even down to 0 degrees occasionally at midnight in December. In July it can get up to 35 degrees C. Since absolute zero is less than -200 C, IIRC. Logically, the earth’s core is probably contributing a much greater amount of the heat on my deck at midnight on New Years eve. While when I go out to my deck in midday July the direct gain really warms one up! No question the sun contributes to the temp. of the earth. However, the numbers seem to indicate the earth’s core is more important by an order of magnitude. The core is what “warms” my deck up to freezing from absolute zero while the sun only brings it up another 30 degrees C?
Just one more example of the pseudoscience of global warming. In any number of ways an intelligent person should know better than be suckered by politicians into accepting this snake oil. Perhaps we can see REAL Social Justice when these folks are required to answer before the bar of justice.
No fusion in the Earth's core.
Pretty sure the earth's core isn't fusing. The earth would be a star if it was.
Done?
Good, what's the temperature at the bottom of the hole? Well, maybe not deep enough. The deepest mine (2.5 miles) has a rock temperature of 151F. That's pretty trifling for 2.5 miles down. Asphalt in summer sun can reach 150F. Therefore the sun wins by 2.5 miles.
regarding you deck, if you get one of those Sunsetter retractable awnings, it will lower the temp 20 F
