The Human Torch, another member of the Fantastic Four, once faced the task of melting, then refreezing, huge ice blocks that had broken free at the polar ice caps. Needing a tremendous amount of energy to do the job, the Torch “plunged” into our sun to absorb the necessary energy. Assuming that the Torch could retain this energy on his return to Earth, how much thermal energy do you think the Torch could absorb? And as the Torch released this energy, how much would the temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere increase? Make whatever assumptions you need to answer these questions.
