Calculate values for the total heat capacity of the atmosphere, the world's oceans, and the top-most 60 meters of the world's oceans. you need to calculate the total mass first. to do this for the atmosphere assume the surface pressure to be constant at 1000 hpa.

discuss the relative amount of energy needed to warm the atmosphere, the ocean, and the topmost 60 meters of the oceans by 1 k.

relate the amount energy needed for a 1 k warming to the incoming solar radiation (1370 w/m2) to find a timescale for how long this might take to reach this warming.

discuss the limitations of your approach.
