Just sneaking in this post now, but can someone churn out the numbers to say how much ice can be melted by the CO2 emissions from the production of that amount of heat they describe in the ad? You know, just like the recent hair dryer/jet engine comparison shown here. It takes X Joules to melt that much ice, so how much oil burning produces that many Joules, then how much CO2 comes from that much oil burning, and how much warming effect (and potential ice melt) does that much CO2 have.
