You just made a common mistake on this forum, i.e. assuming that Ceist is being factual.

Ceist is never factual, especially when talking/writing about someone else.

With a little more experience you will be able to arrive at correct conclusions such as "IBdaMann never cited that graph." It just takes time.

So, you were about to explain what you consider to constitute the "average global temperature" and how you would accurately measure it.


.


The average global temperature is the average of the ground surface thermometer regions x the area that they cover divided by the total surface of the Earth. Dimensionally: C sq km/ sq km => average C

If that's to complex for you imagine a spherical honey comb with a thermometer in the middle of each. If the cells are all the same size then the surface average temperature of the entire honey comb would just be the average of the all the thermometer readings.

Average T = [∑(I =0 to n) Ti] / n

But now imagine that the cells are all different sizes. Then the surface average temperature would be

Average T = [∑(I =0 to n) Ti * Ai] / [∑(I =0 to n) Ai]

where Ti is the temperature of the ith cell and Ai its area. n is the total number of cells.

In climatology measurements they essentially do that but in a very much more sophisticated way with large numbers of checks and balances on the analysis.

In climate measurements they like to use 50 km x 50 km cells. However not all places on Earth have that sort of resolution. Tests on areas where there is much denser spacing show there is not significant loss until we get to 500 km or larger cells.

Now provided they do that in the same way over the time of the data set then it is perfectly proper to compare measurements.

What I did above should give you a clue about how average global temperatures are measured, because at the present you don't have a clue because you have not bothered to read the copious number of papers that NASA, NOAA and the rest of them have published on the subject.

This doesn't sound right to me. Are you talking about the ground temperature or are you talking about the atmospheric temperature at some short distance above the ground?

I just want to make sure, you are claiming to cover the entire surface of the earth, yes?


DRKTS wrote:But now imagine that the cells are all different sizes. Then the surface average temperature would be

Here is where I start to have some problems. Your thermometers are therefore not evenly spaced.

What is your target margin of error? If your thermometers are not evenly spaced then your margin of error will relate to your largest gap.

How many thermometers will you be using total?

I wouldn't call it "sophisticated."

What is a "climate" measurement? I thought we were measuring one parameter of weather.

What you have written above tells me that you are still a moron who needs to play pretend scientist in order to "smart." I willing to work with you on this but I have a feeling you'll be changing your position several times before you give up trying to construct a workable, accurate measure of earth's "average global temperature."

Answer the above questions and let's move forward.

.. thermodynamics somehow don't apply?

If you want, we can most certainly compare any layer of the Earth's atmosphere with the moon. The ozone layer stays slightly above the "average temperature" of the moon's surface. Other layers are hotter or colder, depending of course on their interaction with the electromagnet waves/photons coming from the sun and the reflected/scattered ones coming from the earth's surface/atmosphere.

I would wonder, though, what you consider to be the top of the earth's atmosphere. 100km like in the textbooks? Up there, the energy recieved by the sun is about 1.2kw/m2. But most of the energy remains in the light (sorry, I meant Radiation in the form of electromagnet waves) passing through the atmosphere, such that only less than 1kw/m2 reaches the surface. Meaning that an amount is converted into other forms of energy, *before* it hits the surface: Heat and chemical reactions (potential energy) for instance in the ionosphere and the ozone layer.

On the moon, all 1.2kw hit the surface. Yes, there is a bit of a difference between the two.

Now, both Earth and the Moon absorb some of the radiation and reflect a good bit of it. "Absorbing" means to a large extent converting it to heat. But a good deal is reflected and makes its way back out to space!

Yes, I find it much more interesting to talk about surfaces. Wouldn't it make more sense, since life just happens to find itself on or very near the Earth's surface?

"blocks."

Yes, please forgive my inaccuracy. I forgot that we're trying to put a paper together here instead of trying to communicate on common grounds;-)

Is anything in this post rediculous or not to be agreed with?

Oh, and he also uses the Bible to 'predict' the climate.


In this graph, Cliff Harris notes the Hebrew Exodus from Egypt at 1100 BC.
If he was going to put dates of mythical Biblical stories, it's a shame he didn't take his graph back to Adam and Eve leaving the Garden of Eden- around 4000BC or something wasn't it? Or predict the climate of the second coming?

Funny to see that you're capable to find such doubtful sources. Most of us can't. That says a lot about you.
It's a completely dodgy graph. It's by a religious crackpot whose blog IBdaMann has used several times as a supposed 'authoritative source'

I don't get it. There is an average global temperature in that graph. IB says that there is no average global temperature. Then Cliff Harris can not be authoritative, right?

Yes, vulcanoes have a lot to do with effecting temperatures. They spew ash (short term very cooling), SO2 (shortterm cooling) and CO2 (longterm warming) in the atmosphere..

IBdaMann didn't actually use that graph. Its just a rubbish graph by the same religious crackpot whose blog IBdaMann has used several times as an 'authoritative' source.

The irony is that IB runs around ranting that the 'greenhouse' effect violates the laws of physics and that global warming is a religion and anyone who accepts the science is a "warmazombie scientifically illiterate religious moron".

Yet one of the few sources he has used to support his views was Cliff Harris's blog. Cliff Harris is a scientifically illiterate religious nutter, with zero background in science and believes he can predict the climate using the Bible.

Classic fail.

errata:

IB DaMann doesn't really run around unless playing sports.

Global Warming is a proper noun, being the name of a religion, and is thus capitalized.

"The Science" is the title of the dogma and is also capitalized.

I referenced a particular article that was posted on that site, not Cliff Harris' expertise in anything.

To date, you have not questioned the truth or accuracy of the article I referenced. Instead, you have attacked Cliff Harris. So we are in agreement on the accuracy of the article.

Thanks for clarifying.

So IBdaMann admits he uses the personal blog of a crackpot religious zealot who thinks he can predict the climate using the Bible, as an 'authoritative source".


As for Into the Night- he clearly needs assistance with his 'emissions'. The ones he has when he goes to bed at night and fantasizes about showing the world what a genius he is when he, a humble layperson with no background in physics, proves all the textbooks and all the physicists in the world are stupid and have got it all wrong.

Perhaps IB will give his little buddy ITN a hand with his emissions.

Secondly, the exact reverse happened during the Bush regime. They cut climate funding yet the climate scientists stick to their guns.

Thirdly most climate scientists have tenured positions so would not care two hoots about funding because they were going to get paid the same anyway.

Exactly. It seems that regardless of any funding changes all devout worshipers of all religions pretty much stuck to their guns and maintained their respective faiths. So you do have a point.

However, as funding later increased for predetermined conclusions, the number of "papers" and "studies" and "reports" increased accordingly.

Well, they certainly would not care two hoots about what science may have to say on the matter, but they certainly are greedy bastards who want a lot more money than their universities are paying them to breathe on their students.

They want the money. They absolutely care.

So you are arguing that they were wrong in backing the science in times when it was not fashionable to do so and harmed their self interest. But later they just follow their self interest when they continue to say the exact same thing.

Please take a course in logic.

You do not seem to be aware that most tenured positions do not allow scientists to accept other funding personally above and beyond their salary. Even when I was a research scientist in private industry, I could not accept outside funding. Anyone wanting to fund me to do something not related to my normal duties would have to enter into a contract with the company and the money went to the company. My salary never increased as a result.

Any speaking fees or book royalties went to my company. The same is generally true for academics. Government scientists are strictly forbidden to do that, it is illegal for them to accept that sort of funding.

In the exceptional circumstances that a scientist can accept outside funding, they have to declare it on all publications. That is why Willie Soon got into such hot water. He hid the sources of his funding.

No. I am pointing out that their firebrand dogma was not supported by science but was fueled by a standard religious persecution of non-believers, not unlike the Cursades or fatwahs against infidels.

You appear to recognize that the solar magnetic field weakens as the sun reduces in solar output. Do you recognize that the sun is currently reducing in solar output?

The solar output is not weakened by reducing magnetic field. It is modulated both up and down (by about 0.1%) by the solar cycle. The intrinsic output is determined by the rate of nuclear processes in the core of the Sun about a million to so years ago.

I was always intrigued by the fact it takes up to a couple of million years for the energy to travel from the core of the Sun to the surface (photosphere) a total of about 700,000 km and just over 8 minutes to travel the next 150 million km.

So no, the Sun is not reducing its output significantly enough to affect global warming. I estimate that if the Sun went into a 100 year Maunder minimum while we continued to emit CO2 and other GHGs at the current rates temperatures in 2116 would be as they would have been in 2100 without the Maunder minimum.

I was always intrigued by the fact it takes up to a couple of million years for the energy to travel from the core of the Sun to the surface (photosphere) a total of about 700,000 km and just over 8 minutes to travel the next 150 million km.

So no, the Sun is not reducing its output significantly enough to affect global warming. I estimate that if the Sun went into a 100 year Maunder minimum while we continued to emit CO2 and other GHGs at the current rates temperatures in 2116 would be as they would have been in 2100 without the Maunder minimum.


How do you know what the temperatures are going to be in 2100 or 2116?

Not the famous tea house in Cathedral Square? If so, I knew it well. We lived in Exeter for 5 years in the early 60's. My Grandmother worked in the Royal Clarence Hotel and we used to wait for her to get off work by popping into the tea shop next door and having a nice hot cup of tea and a toasted tea cake.

I seem to remember one in High Street that we went to infrequently (because the tea cakes were not so big or buttery!)

You are firmly in the grips of science denial. I'm not sure what more can be said.

You presented slides that were constructed under the correct understanding that the sun goes through ~11-year cycles of cyclic increase/decrease of magnetic and radiation strength.

Now you're denying it.

This is yet another example of a Global Warming worshiper conflating (intentionally or otherwise) correlation with causation.

Go back and review your own slides that you are now denying.

The weakening magnetic field occurs along with the decreasing solar output. Check those same slides.

Well, it could take that long. It could also take ~2.3 seconds. The fact that energy is absorbed, radiated, absorbed, radiated, etc.. is an example of energy changing form. Yet this is the smokescreen employed by Global Warming worshipers to claim the earth's atmosphere creates energy to increase earth's temperature, i.e. "greenhouse effect." (yes, yes, the model then shifts to violating Planck's Law after violating the 1st LoT).

DRKTS wrote: So no, the Sun is not reducing its output significantly enough to affect global warming.

I did not ask about your subjective qualification.

Do you acknowledge that solar output is decreasing, right now, by a non-zero figure...or are you living in denial? Again, review your own slides if you must.

Your argument is based on the defunct belief that atmospheric gases somehow have the magic power to violate the laws of physics. There's a reason there exists no falsifiable "greenhouse effect" model in the body of science.

Anyway, your particular error is comprised of two parts:

1) Your denial that the sun is decreasing in output right now, and

2) Your belief in magical forces that somehow increase earth's temperature via violations of physics.

Naturally, if you acknowledge the first and deny the second, the correct assumption is that the earth is currently cooling, perhaps by a very gradual non-zero figure. That amounts to blasphemy, of course, to Global Warming dogma.

I believe that covers everything. Have I inadvertently omitted anything?

Look up random walk theory. It takes over 1 million years because of the high densities in the core of the Sun.

The question is about whether changes on the Sun are causing global warming (actually my next video will be about that). Wait a couple of days and all your questions will be answered.

Odd how just about every professional physicist on the planet would disagree with you about GHGs violating the laws of physics.

Your grasp of the physical laws seems tenuous at best, just like your grasp on reality.

Nothing, because Global Warming is just a religion. The solar cycle has everything to do with increasing and decreasing solar output. How is it that I need to explain this to you?

Oh, when solar output decreases, the earth cools correspondingly. Just for clarification, would you officially state your denial of this for the record?

DRKTS wrote:You seem unable (or is it unwilling?) to understand the meaning of the simplest scientific statements.

You seem unable to support any point of relevance. So far your denial remains intact.

DRKTS wrote: Look up random walk theory.

It seems obvious you need to review it. You didn't quite understand it completely the first time. Your wording implies that you believe each and every photon is obligated to millions of years leaving the core. In actuality very very few take that long. Most take an order of magnitude less and a few yet another order of magnitude less.

So check your wording. It could take that long.

Try to be someone who says what he means and who means what he says.

No. The question is exactly what I asked you:

DRKTS wrote:(actually my next video will be about that). Wait a couple of days and all your questions will be answered.

OK, I look forward to seeing it. Tell me. Will it hinge entirely on your assumption of "greenhouse effect"? Will your video likely be dismissed by those who don't share your beliefs?

DRKTS wrote:Odd how just about every professional physicist on the planet would disagree with you about GHGs violating the laws of physics.

It is odd that you still believe you speak for countless untold others. In this case you delude yourself into believing that you somehow speak for "about every professional physicist."

I have never met any scientist who would claim belief in your professed violations of physics. You speak for physicists as much as I speak for Tibetan monks.

You have no business critiquing anyone's understanding of science. Your devotion to your faith does not equate to scientific acumen.

Lets remind ourselves those countless untold others include secondary school students that managed to stay awake in science class.

You having a converstaion about physics in real life with someone who knows what they are talking about, I would love to be a fly on that wall. Mind you if you display the belligerent ignorance in real life as you do on the internet its no wonder that you cant find anyone to disagree with you, If I were in the same room as you I would move the converstaion on to keep the peace.

DRKTS wrote:Try giving us a single checkable fact (with a reference) to support any of your "scientific" points... cue the crickets.

I'll give you the two facts that destroy your "greenhouse effect" dogma and that you can't seem to overcome:

1. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed (1st LoT), and

2. Temperature driives thermal radiation (Planck's Law)

These items come from science so you don't get a citation. You're supposed to be a big boy who can verify science on your own or, as you seem want to do, deny the science.

I look forward to your upcoming presentation which, I am guessing, will DODGE the issue of how the above two points are violated while merely stating that they aren't violated.

You need to explain how energy being transformed from one form to another is in any way is against the 1st law.

Planck's Law merely says spectral irradiance is related to wavelength and temperature, again how does the greenhouse effect violate that?

Not at all. I am not making this claim.
It is you who must explain how the earth magically increases in temperature without creating additional energy in violation of the 1st LoT.

This is worth repeating since you continue to EVADE this fundamental point.

You claim an increase in temperature. Temperature cannot increase without additional energy. Physics. You can't get around it.

You claim that the existence of "greenhouse gas" causes this temperature increase. You are implicitly stating that "greenhouse gas" causes the required additional energy to somehow come into existence. Logic 101. You can't get around it.

I know, I know, ...you realize you have an insurmountable problem on your hands called "science" so you make a last ditch effort to fool the scientifically illiterate by claiming that "greenhouse gas" has the magical superpower to somehow "slow" it's own thermal radiation as well as the thermal radiation of other substances (pure fantasy for the gullible). Even if such a fiction were to exist in reality, any such "slowing" of earth's thermal radiation would have to be accompanied by a DECREASE in temperature, not an increase.

Why? Because temperature drives thermal radiation and it is a DIRECT relationship, i.e. if temperature increases then thermal radiation increases. Period. You can't get around this. If you tell me that the earth's thermal radiation has decreased then any physicist knows that you have just stated that earth's temperature has decreased.

For the record, and for clarification purposes, would you state your denial of the above? It would really make it clear to others what your beliefs are, how strong they are, and would greatly assist others in evaluating them.

You put a pot on the stove on a very low heat to simmer and bring the contents to a nice stable temperature. Now put the lid on (without changing the gas/electric settings - so no more energy is going in). Does the temperature go up, stay the same, or go down?

It goes up because less heat is escaping. Does that violate the laws of thermodynamics? If you don't believe me go put on a saucepan of milk and do the experiment. Get some paper towels you'll need to clear up when it boils over after you put the lid on.
