Hasn't this question, or some variant of it, already been asked numerous times?

Those who understand what the greenhouse effect is will say No; those who don't will say Yes.

Well then how on earth am I supposed to know who is right?


There is a wholly accepted relationship between air pressure and temperature.

http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/air-altitude-temperature-d_461.html

So possibly there will be no change if air pressure stays the same.

Here's something I've been wondering. When glacial transitioned to interglacial, all those CO2 are out gassed from ocean rather than converted from O2 as is the case with today's increase in CO2 percentage. Wouldn't there have been an increase in air pressure when glacial transitioned to interglacial?

I beg to differ. I say quite clearly the earth would be the same temperature.

Wrong again. You yourself have insisted the temperature somehow increases through a series of violations of physics.

Let's go around your circular argument one more time. I'll start it off:

How does "greenhouse gas" cause additional energy that increases temperature?
To speed things up, might I suggest we completely skip over the unnecessary topic of electromagnetic absorption?

With just N2 and O2 the average temperature of the Earth would -16C - the same as the Moon. N2 and O2 are transparent the both visible and IR radiation. However once the oceans froze and the Earth's albedo increased the temperature would plummet further. The albedo of ice is 0.9 whereas the earth's albedo is currently 0.3. so we would be getting 40% less solar energy input. (0.9-0.3) x 2/3 (area of ocean cf area of the planet) - assuming no snow fall on the land.

You are using data that is fabricated by NOAA. The actual record in stations across the U.S. are quite different. There is also no way to measure global temperature, or to calculate it.

Yes it is. Infrared light does not penetrate plastic bottles. The bottle itself absorbs it. You are heating the gas inside by conduction, not IR absorption. The difference in temperature is caused by the different pressures in the bottles, and by the visible light going through the bottles and being absorbed more by the bottle containing water clouded by the reaction in the CO2 bottle.

There's a reason you put a stopper in the bottles. A better demonstration would use no stoppers at all. After all, you do not need them.

It's a parlor trick for gullible congregation members who won't even ask basic questions. The abuse of trust lies in the selection of the heat lamp that radiates within CO2's absorption signature while claiming the radiance somehow simulates the full spectrum of sunlight.

No one disputes that every substance has its own absorption signature. You could do the same thing with UV-C and O3.

If you haven't noticed already, there are a couple of crackpot 'Sky Dragon Slayer' cultists who have been dominating the forum with their endless posts about their beliefs.

They believe absorption and emission of IR by CO2 is "magick", that "atmospheric composition has no role in atmospheric temperature", that "evidence plays no role in science" and that the greenhouse effect "violates the 1st and 2nd laws of thermodynamics and Planck's law" and is "religious dogma" or "Marxist dogma". Amongst their other insane scientifically illiterate and conspiracy theory rantings.

This forum has become more like a mental health facility for deluded 'greenhouse' effect deniers than a discussion forum on climate change. It's an entertaining place to visit and observe how the inmates become hysterical, agitated and aggressive if you try to discuss science that undermines their crackpot beliefs, but it soon gets tedious.

This one shows the filtering effects of CO2, that is all. Such filters absorb light and convert it into thermal energy, which effectively spreads out the image of the candle over a greater area. Like looking at a bright light through a diffuse color filter. The filter will warm also in the same way. That bit of warming will spread out heating everything around it, just like CO2 does in the atmosphere.

CO2 does not have the ability to make the candle flame or the light bulb hotter. That would make heat flow the wrong way. Likewise, CO2 does not have the ability to warm the surface (the source of all that IR), for the same reason.

CO2 is heavier than air. It will stay in the bottle of it's own accord as long as you don't move the bottle around much. You can literally pour it from container to container, even though you can't see it.

There you go ranting stuff that was never said again. To rant, I suppose.

I have no problem with CO2 absorption. All gases have absorption at various frequencies of light. CO2 happens to have a few notches in the IR spectrum. I never said it didn't.

Almost all the absorbed energy in CO2 is converted to thermal energy. That energy is dissipated into the surround material in the atmosphere. Since CO2 is so rare, this doesn't take long. The point where we differ is CO2 energy emission. It just doesn't happen the way you describe at all.

As is typical, you primarily write stuff to insult and belittle, even making up stuff to make it sound better.

Nobody said that it would warm the lamp. It is not just a matter of thermal energy, i.e., thermalizing the IR emissions. The main way it works is by absorbing the IR photon to promote one quantum state of the molecule to another higher one.

The molecule relaxes by re-emitting a photon of the exact same energy (i.e., wavelength) as the original but in a random direction. This is called resonance scattering.

The direction is as likely to be back down towards the Earth's surface as outward towards space. It is then like having a heat lamp shining down on the Earth. The intensity of the lamp depends on how much of the gas that resonantly absorbs the IR is present between the source (the surface of the Earth) and space. Some of that IR radiation is reabsorbed by the oceans and land, warming them.

The more GHGs there are the more interactions an IR photon will suffer on its way out. Now for a concentration of 270 ppm of CO2 an IR photon of a wavelength resonant with a CO2 molecule will travel about 100m before being scattered. However at today's level of CO2 that distance is only 70m. This is called the mean free path (MFP). So for a shorter MFP, the more interactions there will be and the more warming.

That says in the first 70m of the atmosphere about half the radiated IR at these specific wavelengths are reflected back to Earth. In the next 70m, 75% and so on. Now the atmosphere gets less dense with altitude so the MFP of the IR photons get longer quite rapidly. By the time you get to plane altitudes the MFP is over 1 km.

This is a highly simplified version of resonance scattering. Part of my thesis was on this subject.

Warmizombies use the religiously dogmatic and very unscientific word "re-emit" as a red flag to readers/listeners that they don't understand what they are talking about and that what they express is full of errors. This one sentence above alone has several.

1. Molecules don't have muscles and they don't relax.

2. What molecules absorb is governed by their individual absorption signatures and what they radiate is governed by temperature. Absorbtion and radiation are independent. At any givn moment, any given CO2 molecule in the atmosphere is extemely likely radiating at a wavelength other than what it is absorbing and only extremely rarely radiating at the same wavlength. There really isn't any "re-emitting" occurring.

3. We know that radiation occurrs in all directions. It is threfore best to model the activity as a wave rather than as a particle that is then emitted along a single "random" vector. Also the use of particles gives the false appearance of matching quantity along the vector insted of the natural spreading.

4. Notice the insistence that equivalent energy is emitted as is absorbed (adhering to the 1st LoT). Later, the same tired and bogus claim will be made that temperature is increased by the direction of the emission, thus implying that energy is created in violation of the 1st LoT and contradicting this statement.

DRKTS wrote: The direction is as likely to be back down towards the Earth's surface as outward towards space. It is then like having a heat lamp shining down on the Earth.

Here we have it. Remember that every instance of a particle being sent to the earth to warm it is preceded by an equivalent instance of a particle being absorbed from the earth that thusly cooled the earth by that exact amount. Here you present the false and grossly erroneous imagery that CO2 is creating energy as a heat source "like having a heat lamp" which is an egregious violation of the 1st LoT.

Notice IBdaMned, the narcissistic manipulative sociopath with zero background in any field of science, trying to use pure bluff and 'sciencey' sounding phrases that are not just wrong, but "Not Even Wrong", to try to 'lecture' someone who clearly knows what he is talking about?

Comedy gold.



("Not Even Wrong" implies that not only is someone not making a valid point in a discussion, but they don't even understand the nature of the discussion itself, or the things that need to be understood in order to participate.)

I think you have to be crazy to post here we are quite obviously playing pidgion chess.

Anyway IBaman, I have two identical chambers one with an elevated co2 level one without I'm montring the pressure so I know it's the same I have a heat source; IR lamp, sun or bonfire of burning physics textbooks, it doesn't really matter and we both know one chamber will be getting hotter then the other, if it's a trick tell us how its done. I'm gullible and stupid so please use simple language.

Given his post count (and IBdaMann's posts aren't usually one-liners), I'd say that's quite likely.

Yes discussing climate science with a Sky Dragon Slayer is much like trying to discuss evolution with a Creationist. Interesting that Into the Night once used the term 'evolutionists' which is a dead give away.

IB is probably very keen to burn all atmospheric physics textbooks or any physics textbook that mentions the greenhouse effect. Apparently publishers of textbooks (like Pearson) insert Marxist propaganda about the 'greenhouse' effect.

That reminds me, I haven't updated his post count contribution to my hypothesis lately:

My hypothesis is that the resident Sky Dragon Slayer IbdaMann can only make baseless assertions, waffle about pseudoscience not found in any of the science literature or textbooks, call people morons, warmazombies and religious freaks, post silly pictures of cartoon characters, and drooling babies, and NOT cite any scientific literature or textbooks. I predict he will continue in this pattern.

So far there is no evidence to falsify my hypothesis. To date, IBdaMann himself has provided us with 1136 (and counting) of his posts as evidence to support the hypothesis and no evidence at all to falsify it. I thank him for his contributions.

IBdaMann also helpfully continues to go above and beyond to provide evidence to falsify his own assertion that he is 'citing science' on this forum. I particularly enjoyed the posts where he hoisted himself with his own 'religious' petard where he cited as an authoritative source the personal blog of fellow with no background at all in science who claimed he could predict the climate using the Bible.

Providing evidence to falsify an assertion is very useful. I thank him for his efforts in providing so much evidence to falsify his own assertion that he is 'citing science'.

An update: IbdaMann did in fact later cite one physics textbook - to claim that it made no reference to the greenhouse effect. When he was shown a screenshot of the pages where it mentioned the greenhouse effect, he claimed that it was a complete fabrication.

Into the night: I know that but still I would concerned that over time enough co2 would escape as to affect the experiment, as I said earlier if anyone was really interested they could do it themselves. It demonstrates the basic principle that CO2 concentration affects temperature.


CO2 concentration affects the temperature of the CO2 as it absorbs energy. That is true of all gases in the atmosphere. For CO2, almost all of that is converted to thermal energy (it warms). Although it warms, it does not warm the surface where the energy came from. It is not warm enough for that. Instead, it heats the air around it. Since CO2 has a concentration of 400ppm in the air, or 0.04% of the air. The other 99.96% absorbs the heat from CO2. This is far less heat transfer than the surface itself provides to the air, and is completely masked.

CO2 does not have a remarkable specific heat index. It resists a change in thermal temperature about like every other gas in the atmosphere.

The heated air from either source simply conducts and convects that heat up into the stratosphere, where emissive loss becomes more significant, and is a function of Planck's law.

The first experiment you referenced shows an increase in temperature that is more a function of the pressure in the sealed bottle than anything else, following Amonton's law, part of the ideal gas law. The bottle itself is actually opaque to the light required for CO2 absorption, although transparent to visible light. So the gas itself is only being heated in either bottle through conduction (thermal energy) from the bottle, and not by direct absorption of infrared light of CO2. The broad spectrum light used in this particular experiment can add thermal energy to the water in each bottle as well, since that frequency IS more transparent in the bottle.

The second experiment simply shows the effects of CO2 absorbing infrared light. What it fails to show properly is the conversion of that energy into thermal energy that is spread over a larger area on the thermal imaging device. The flame disappears on the imager, similar to the way the image of the sun would disappear if viewed through a diffuse filter (which also heats the same way). This is certainly more correct showing CO2 does warm when certain infrared energy is thrown at it, but the rarity of the gas, even at 1000ppm, would make no significant difference to the overall atmosphere.

This is why neither experiment is proof of warming caused by CO2. CO2 is just another gas, absorbing energy like any other gas, and moving heat upwards like any other gas.

This one shows the filtering effects of CO2, that is all. Such filters absorb light and convert it into thermal energy, which effectively spreads out the image of the candle over a greater area. Like looking at a bright light through a diffuse color filter. The filter will warm also in the same way. That bit of warming will spread out heating everything around it, just like CO2 does in the atmosphere.

CO2 does not have the ability to make the candle flame or the light bulb hotter. That would make heat flow the wrong way. Likewise, CO2 does not have the ability to warm the surface (the source of all that IR), for the same reason.


Nobody said that it would warm the lamp. It is not just a matter of thermal energy, i.e., thermalizing the IR emissions. The main way it works is by absorbing the IR photon to promote one quantum state of the molecule to another higher one.

Actually, this is effectively the core argument of the mechanism of greenhouse gases.
DRKTS wrote:
The molecule relaxes by re-emitting a photon of the exact same energy (i.e., wavelength) as the original but in a random direction. This is called resonance scattering.


This is not correct at all. You are referring to the harmonic emission of the energy, which is pretty darn rare for CO2 (like most materials). Instead almost all of the energy is turned into thermal energy.
DRKTS wrote:
The direction is as likely to be back down towards the Earth's surface as outward towards space. It is then like having a heat lamp shining down on the Earth. The intensity of the lamp depends on how much of the gas that resonantly absorbs the IR is present between the source (the surface of the Earth) and space. Some of that IR radiation is reabsorbed by the oceans and land, warming them.

Energy emission is not directional. Neither is absorption. No even the harmonic emissions can in turn increase the energy source that caused the initial excitement. The source infrared (the Earth) powers the gas, the gas doesn't power the source infrared. In the case of CO2, this harmonic emission is so dim (since most of the energy is converted to thermal) it is almost non-existent.
DRKTS wrote:
The more GHGs there are the more interactions an IR photon will suffer on its way out. Now for a concentration of 270 ppm of CO2 an IR photon of a wavelength resonant with a CO2 molecule will travel about 100m before being scattered. However at today's level of CO2 that distance is only 70m. This is called the mean free path (MFP). So for a shorter MFP, the more interactions there will be and the more warming.

That says in the first 70m of the atmosphere about half the radiated IR at these specific wavelengths are reflected back to Earth. In the next 70m, 75% and so on. Now the atmosphere gets less dense with altitude so the MFP of the IR photons get longer quite rapidly. By the time you get to plane altitudes the MFP is over 1 km.

All this is simply the extension of the core mistake. While the atmosphere cools with altitude (with some exceptions), the infrared light moves 'redder' still. With the loss of density, the infrared light becomes dimmer still.
DRKTS wrote:
This is a highly simplified version of resonance scattering. Part of my thesis was on this subject.

Since your thesis was based on an incorrect understanding of the behavior of CO2 in the atmosphere, I would consider this if I were on the examination committee.
