The excess heat in the blob off California (1,000 miles across and 100 yards deep, 5.5°C warmer than normal) contains as much excess heat energy as the US uses for 50 years. Its heat dwarfs human energy use.
The 2 similar blobs farther north can be associated with record warmth in Alaska (and east Siberia). Their excess heat ALSO exceeds yearly human energy use.
