Said weather maps have nothing to do with climate. Just because your map says everything is fine, it doesn't mean that everything is fine everywhere.

Point is, you can't read the simplest of weather maps, yet you're telling us all how factual it is that heat is causing floods. I just want you to explain how. Can you do that?

And by the way. That map may say everything is fine, to you. However, that was just a snapshot of our weather.

Bingo!!! And "hottest global temps ever recorded" which no one actually knows and cannot be accurately measured, are also just a snapshot...a blink in history. Dude, how old is the earth?

Not sure if the numbers were highs, averages, current, or what. Sorry, missed that in weather class.

actually, none of the above.

I don't think they had that in my school back then. They probably don't explain freaking weather charts even today. Graduating class was around 150. P.O. Dunk to say the least.

My school didn't have weather either. I just began to realize how many people spouted off about the weather and how often they were always wrong. I decided to actually learn what I could. Turns out the more I learned the more there was to know. It's a fascinating subject, and even the "expert meteorologists" have significant difficulty producing an accurate forecast 120 hour out. But hold the phone! Redman has created an Algoreism and he can tell us the ENTIRE EARTHS TEMPERATURE 100 years from now!!!

And that's because you didn't get to see the color radar maps they used to show on the radio, down in Greenville, SC.

That sounds wonderful after last spring! We had snow on April 15th! Yep, bad day! Paid my damn taxes and it snowed.

I'm interested in your ideas on this.

Really? OK. From what I understand the more heat the better for getting that corn going early. Get the plants up and get that canopy closed quick to hold more moisture in the soil. Also a benefit when you have a later freeze date...allows for a bigger yield producing variety seed, which takes a week or two more, and no worries about an early freeze before the crop is mature.

What are your thoughts Redman?

I see one problem that you are having, Gassy. You apparently don't know the difference between weather and climate, so you think they are the same. Yes, they are related, but they are not the same thing. Weather is what's around you today. Your weather today might include rain, or sunshine. Climate is a summary of what the weather has been like over a period of time.

It's not really that surprising that land in the Arctic Circle is burning, since most of the regional warming has been in the Arctic and Antarctic regions. The real problem is that it's not going to get any better. This thing we face is just going to continue getting worse and worse. And it is now picking up steam.

..Forest fires happen for a reason. Stands of trees become tinder because a lack of moisture.
Same reason the grass in California burns. It's dried out, put in a pipe and then a spark ignites it when the wind blows or in California's case someone inhales. ITN probably knows about this type of grass fire in a controlled urban setting. Why I think he's devoutly religious. He believes people should get stoned when they have impure thoughts such as math and/or science.

IPCC says that the maximum warming will be of about 3c.

That said that was said way back in 2007(?) based on the prediction of 1998. The prediction of the max seems not to have changed in spie of the lack of significant warming since then. Has it managed 0.1c in the last 2 decades?

At this rate it will be a long time before we see +1c never mind 3c.

The story starts in 1827 with the French mathematician Fourier. He coined the term "greenhouse effect" and provided an explanation for the relatively small temperature difference between daytime and night-time on the Earth - and the development of a climate that was, among other things, suitable for human beings.

..I think something else is going on which is why we have both a tropopause and a mesopause. Neither are dependent on a relationship between energy and pressure...

Ideal Gas Law from Kinetic Theory
From the above study, we found that the average kinetic energy is proportional to the temperature, according to

(1/2 mv^2)=3/2KT

..And as we all should now by now, in our atmosphere, less pressure means a colder atmosphere. With the tropopause, as the pressure drops the temperature doesn't. It's at that point, the beginning of the tropopause that pressure and heat in our atmosphere have no relationship with the other.

IPCC says that the maximum warming will be of about 3c.

That said that was said way back in 2007(?) based on the prediction of 1998. The prediction of the max seems not to have changed in spie of the lack of significant warming since then. Has it managed 0.1c in the last 2 decades?

At this rate it will be a long time before we see +1c never mind 3c.

..And with me, am doubtful that a "greenhouse effect" is caused by atmospheric gasses. That scenario was though up around 1827. I think it's wrong.

https://www.theguardian.com/science/2005/feb/03/lastword.environment

The story starts in 1827 with the French mathematician Fourier. He coined the term "greenhouse effect" and provided an explanation for the relatively small temperature difference between daytime and night-time on the Earth - and the development of a climate that was, among other things, suitable for human beings.

..I think something else is going on which is why we have both a tropopause and a mesopause. Neither are dependent on a relationship between energy and pressure...

Ideal Gas Law from Kinetic Theory
From the above study, we found that the average kinetic energy is proportional to the temperature, according to

(1/2 mv^2)=3/2KT

..And as we all should now by now, in our atmosphere, less pressure means a colder atmosphere. With the tropopause, as the pressure drops the temperature doesn't. It's at that point, the beginning of the tropopause that pressure and heat in our atmosphere have no relationship with the other.
This suggests that the Earth's magnetosphere is hard at work.

Go look up the Chapman cycle. It explains why you see a temperature inversion in the stratosphere. The magnetosphere does not affect temperatures in the atmosphere.

The simplest answer as to why Saturn has rings and what they are made of is that the planet has accumulated a great deal of dust, particles, and ice at varying distances from its surface. These items are most likely trapped by gravity. The rings appear because of the wavelengths of light reflected by the these rings of debris.

...@All,

The rings around Saturn are debris from a crushed moon or a moon that never formed because of the two pilot moons that create the rings. The Van Allen belts are protons trapped by the Earth's magnetic field. They are not caused by any pilot moons. This is not 'accepted reasoning'. It is an observation, done by our deep space probes that actually went out and looked at the thing. It happens to fit both of Newton's laws of momentum and gravity and Kepler's laws quite well. All large planets have such rings. Saturn's just happens to be the brightest.

They are different because they have different causes, different materials they are made up with, and have completely different properties. They really have no relationship to each other.

If the material carried by the solar wind reached a planet's surface, its radiation would do severe damage to any life that might exist. Earth's magnetic field serves as a shield, redirecting the material around the planet so that it streams beyond it.

I doubt that we will ever be able to cut the emmisions. Our civilisation and mentality runs like that. For me cutting the emissions even for 50-60% (which globally will never happen) means nothing, we have still so much that it cause the warming. So here my thinking:
1.) Have more CO2 emmisions will mean warmer earth -> ice will melt, we will have less sun reflection, temperature will rise even faster
2.) We consume more and more energy, we have more buildings and more tarmac roads -> all this things cause more higher temperatures
3.) warmer temperature -> permafrost will melt, methane will strenghten the warming effect, temperature will rise faster
4.) ...
Basically I see here a lot of natural reactions which accelerate the global warming. Everything leads to more and more warm temperatures.
Does anybody know some cooling effect in the nature which starts when the temperature rise and rise? Does something like that exist? Or will we end like Venus in couple of centuries?

Hello,

you should probably have a look at Poseidon Foundation. a non-profit committed to offset carbon emissions using blockchain. Poseidon already achieved important parterships, including with Liverpool City Council, in fact Liverpool is committed to become first city to go climate "positive" in 2020.
Here a website where you can find more information https://poseidon.eco/

Carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrous oxide (N2O), and methane (CH4) are each important to climate forcing and to the levels of stratospheric ozone (see Chapter 2). In terms of the globally averaged ozone column, additional N2O leads to lower ozone levels, whereas additional CO2 and CH4 lead to higher ozone levels. Ozone depletion to date would have been greater if not for the historical increases in CO2 and CH4. The net impact on ozone recovery and future levels of stratospheric ozone thus depends on the future abundances of these gases.

The projection of CCl4 remains more uncertain than projections for other ODSs due to our incomplete understanding of the current CCl4 budget (likely a missing source; see Chapter 1).

..And then there's this from the same report;

..The experiment that I am pursuing might help to understand where the CCl4 (it destroys ozone) is coming from. Chlorine is used in laundry, water treatment, etc. and when it's exposed to the atmosphere it becomes a gas. Then the following formulas might be valid;

..CO2 + H2O > HCHO, O2 (Chapman cycle)

..HCHO + HCHO > Ch4, C (C + 4Cl > CCl4), O2

Questions like can a chlorine molecule break the 2 double covalent bonds of CO2? If so then there might be more atmospheric mixing going on in the upper troposphere than what we're aware of.

...Particulates in the air can absorb or reflect heat. This also has a cumulative effect on the atmosphere as well. Kind of like mud on animals can keep them cooler by creating a barrier to the atmosphere. Been watching nature documentaries again.

Heat always goes from hot to cold, right?

The surface, which is warmed by the sun, warms the air, and the CO2 and all that BS...

And as you(ITN) have said many times, that is how the surface cools itself.

Ok, our body temp is 98. Why do we feel the need to cool down around 90 and above? If heat is going from hot to cold, 90 degrees should feel "rather chilly"....but it doesn't. Why not?
