Of all the dubious climate change metrics bombastic climate communicators have unleashed, few can compete with the effort to convert thermal infrared radiative forcing out of bland watts per square meter, and back into good old-fashioned scary A-Bombs:
But a climabombametric crisis will arise on August 21st, as America's lower 48 states are cut in half by the moon's moving shadow, when a total eclipse of the sun takes a ninety mile bite out of solar radiative forcing input at its source.
Readers are invited to do the math and report elsewhere on how they translate their calculations of how many A-Bomb's worth of CO2 forcing posterity will be deprived of by this inconvenient phenomenon, into the decidedly non-SI gigahiroshima units in which the polemically ubiquitous SKS bombometer is calbrated.
