Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't higher temperature cause more evaporation and the air to hold more water and reduce sea level and cause the ocean to out gas CO2 and reduce the H2CO3 concentration?

New York was under a mile of ice during the last ice age and now New York is above sea level, so it does not seem the sea level rose when the last ice age ended and glaciers melted.

Seriously?

Is someone paying you to pretend to be an exceptionally daft denier? If so, you're in danger of overdoing it and blowing your cover.

Hi Surface.
That was my first thought too. It's like a parody. I even thought it could be trafn trying to make this place look like even more of a farce than it had already become.

Since IBdaMann trolled this forum to death, it's been pretty quiet until this joker showed up and started plastering the place with over-the-top nonsense threads.

In your mind, a farce is the allowing of differing viewpoints. You need a "safe" posting environment where opposing viewpoints are not tolerated.

You hold the consummate religious position. In fact you consider opposing viewpoints that threaten your religious insecurities as "trolling."

You really should get off the internet and into somewhere that is truly safe for your faith, like a library.

The sea level bit is nonsense but could you look at the solubility of CO2 in water for a second. Many scientists claim that our oceans are becoming more acidic / less alcaline; due to the increase in dissolved CO2! But if the temperature is rising then solubility coefficient for CO2 in water should drop, (more CO2 dissolves in cold water than in warm) so shouldn't the oceans be getting more alcaline if anything?

Assuming for a moment that the temperature were to remain constant while the CO2 concentration of the atmosphere increases, the concentration of CO2 in seawater would increase by the same proportion, as per Henry's Law. The fact that the temperature of the water is rising, and its CO2 solubility is thus falling, just reduces the corresponding increase in seawater CO2 concentration. That is, the warming means that a doubling of CO2 in the air gives somewhat less than a doubling of CO2 in the sea.

At the moment, the oceans are able to absorb (edit: correction - about a quarter) of anthropogenic CO2 emissions (hence their acidification), but this proportion is indeed likely to fall (though still remaining positive) as the oceans warm.

The solubility of CO2 due to temperature is a curve and I think it is a larger factor than the increeasing concentration of the atmospheric CO2 but I will have to checck on that..

Only a change in ocean temperature can cause the ocean to take in more or less CO2. If CO2 in the air increases but ocean temperature does not change, then the ocean concentration of H2CO3 will not change.

Nope. See Henry's Law.

I don't need to. I am not here to answer your demands. Go to your local bookstore or Amazon. Perhaps your library will have one of them if you're too cheap. You do your own footwork.

Remember that a book is an opinion also. Some textbooks support your model, others don't. There is nothing magick about a book. No book is a final authority.

Physics textbooks don't discuss the atmosphere in particular, but they do discuss thermodynamics. History texts do not discuss the atmosphere either, but they do discuss how the laws of thermodynamics and other laws of science were discovered. Some atmospheric textbooks don't even mention carbon dioxide at all (since it's unimportant), others do.

You need to read across disciplines and not just a couple of atmospheric textbooks that support your belief, preconcluded by you before you even start.

There's a reason you can't specify any particular assertions of mine which you claim I cannot support. That reason would be that you don't even understand the subject matter.

There's a reason you can't articulate an opposing claim that you can support. That reason would also be that you don't understand the subject matter.

There's a reason you have never been able to successfully contribute anything of value to this forum. Again, the reason has to do with your complete ignorance of the subject matter.

There is NO textbook which supports your ridiculous claims that there is no greenhouse effect or that it violates the laws of thermodynamics. You're talking pure pseudoscience drivel. You would have to know that what you are claiming goes against mainstream science, unless you are mentally ill.

An argument of ignorance. You do not know science, for there is no such thing as 'mainstream' science.

Ad hominem ignored this time.

This argument is done. Since you have no intention of actually doing the research or anything, like I have, you have no further valid point to make here.

No. You and IBdaMann are the ones who are making the extraordinary claim that the greenhouse effect is non-existent. It is up to you to substantiate your claim by giving some sort of supporting argument. You can't baldly assert that something is or isn't true and expect people to simply believe you.

Also, you seem to be confusing references with appeals to authority. I'm not saying that the greenhouse effect is real because the author of the textbook I mentioned is a distinguished fellow; I am referring you to the theoretical and experimental evidence that he sets out in his book.

So where is the evidence for your claim? Where can I find details of an alternative theory of radiative transfer that is able to explain such phenomena as observed planetary emission spectra and thermal atmospheric thermal profiles as well as the theory set out in the textbook I referenced?

I have already explained it to you multiple times. So has IBDaMann. I have also explained to you the real value of evidence in science including any papers, data, books, and materials.

This is the textbook on atmospheric physics that is recommended for use by undergraduate physics students at Oxford University:

http://www.cambridge.org/gb/academic/subjects/earth-and-environmental-science/atmospheric-science-and-meteorology/introduction-atmospheric-physics-2nd-edition

It explains the rationale behind the almost universally held opinion among climate and other scientists that the greenhouse effect is real.

Your turn now, guys. Can you suggest a physics textbook that maintains that the greenhouse effect isn't real?


Read the post I wrote to Ceist concerning books. I am not here to take turns quoting book titles either. Do your own research rather than just using a couple of books as absolute authority.

No. You and IBdaMann are the ones who are making the extraordinary claim that the greenhouse effect is non-existent. It is up to you to substantiate your claim by giving some sort of supporting argument. You can't baldly assert that something is or isn't true and expect people to simply believe you.

Also, you seem to be confusing references with appeals to authority. I'm not saying that the greenhouse effect is real because the author of the textbook I mentioned is a distinguished fellow; I am referring you to the theoretical and experimental evidence that he sets out in his book.

So where is the evidence for your claim? Where can I find details of an alternative theory of radiative transfer that is able to explain such phenomena as observed planetary emission spectra and thermal atmospheric thermal profiles as well as the theory set out in the textbook I referenced?


I have already explained it to you multiple times. So has IBDaMann. I have also explained to you the real value of evidence in science including any papers, data, books, and materials.

The fact that you refuse to research this properly or understand the scientific process and instead turn to your dogma just shows your own bullheadedness. I am arguing with a Stone.

All you've offered so far is a bit of confused hand-waving. It's not my job to try to substantiate your claims. It's yours!

Why would anyone in their right mind listen to your unsupported claims rather than those that are supported by reams of theoretical and experimental evidence?

Put up or shut up.

You seem to feel I am passing the burden of proof on to you. I am saying there is no burden of proof to pass.

Remember, supporting evidence has no place in science. I don't care how many forests you've cut down to prove your position. You cannot prove anything. There is no proof in science either.

Of course I've already said this, but you ignored that too.

So, after much Googling you're still unable to find any textbooks that support your assertions. Obviously that doesn't surprise me, given that you're talking total crap.

Please ask me that.

I know you think actual science is total crap, so you will probably think likewise of this particular reference:



Chapters 17-20 cover thermodynamics very well.
Chapter 39 covers Planck's Radiation Law very well.
Unfortunately this text does not review "cause/effect", considering it a prerequisite.

i.e. if you understand "cause/effect" then this text contains everything you need to understand to know that "greenhouse effect" is complete bunk.

MASSIVE FAIL!

IBdaMann finally, after more than 1000 posts of gibberish, actually cites a physics textbook to support his assertions. Then hilariously hoists himself with his own petard.


Clearly he has never read the Young and Goodman textbook he cites, for low and behold what do we find toward the end of chapter 17- the very chapter he cites?

University Physics with Modern Physics -Hugh D. Young and Roger A. Goodman

Thermodynamics and Heat - Chapter 17

17.7 Mechanisms of Heat Transfer


Radiation, Climate, and Climate Change

"Our planet constantly absorbs radiation coming from the sun. In thermal equilibrium, the rate at which our planet absorbs solar radiation must equal the rate at which it emits radiation into space. The presence of an atmosphere on our planet has a significant effect on this equilibrium.

Most of the radiation emitted by the sun (which has a surface temperature of 5800 K) is in the visible part of the spectrum, to which our atmosphere is transparent.

But the average surface temperature of the earth is only 287 K (14°C).
Hence most of the radiation that our planet emits into space is infrared radiation, just like the radiation from the person shown in Fig. 17.28.

However, our atmosphere is not completely transparent to infrared radiation. This is because our atmosphere contains carbon dioxide , which is its fourth most abundant constituent (after nitrogen, oxygen, and argon). Molecules of CO2 in the atmosphere have the property that they absorb some of the infrared radiation coming upward from the surface. They then re-radiate the absorbed energy, but some of the re-radiated energy is directed back down toward the surface instead of escaping into space. In order to maintain thermal equilibrium, the earth's surface must compensate for this by increasing its temperature T and hence its total rate of radiating energy (which is proportional to T ^ 4.)

This phenomenon, called the greenhouse effect, makes our planet's surface temperature about 33°C higher than it would be if there were no atmospheric If were absent, the earth's average surface temperature would be below the freezing point of water, and life as we know it would be impossible.

While atmospheric CO2 has a beneficial effect, too much of it can have extremely negative consequences. Measurements of air trapped in ancient Antarctic ice show that over the past 650,000 years has constituted less than 300 parts per million of our atmosphere. Since the beginning of the industrial age, however, the burning of fossil fuels such as coal and petroleum has elevated the atmospheric concentration to unprecedented levels (Fig. 17.29a).

As a consequence, since the 1950s the global average surface temperature has increased by and the earth has experienced the hottest years ever recorded (Fig. 17.29b).

If we continue to consume fossil fuels at the same rate, by 2050 the atmospheric concentration will reach 600 parts per million, well off the
scale of Fig. 17.29a. The resulting temperature increase will have dramatic effects on climate around the world. In the polar regions massive quantities of ice will melt and run from solid land to the sea, thus raising ocean levels worldwide and threatening the homes and lives of hundreds of millions of people who live near the coast. Coping with these threats is one of the greatest challenges facing 21st century civilization."

I imagine he'll claim that the authors were forced at gunpoint by Marxists to write that section, or some such tosh.


Thanks for that; I was wondering what the latest edition had to say. I still have the 7th Edition (published in 1987) of Sears, Zemansky and Young from my own undergraduate days, and the only mention of climate change that I can find is the following sentence on page 384: "The long-range effects on our climate of excess atmospheric carbon dioxide produced by combustion are unknown, but some scientists believe that they may be serious or even catastrophic". Of course, this was only 6 years after Hansen's ground-breaking 1981 paper predicting the rise in temperature that has since been observed over the past few decades. Things have come a long way since then.

Oops I meant to type Freedman, not Goodman. Was thinking of Goody and Young.

Like all things Global Warming, this is a complete fabrication. Chapter 17 is all about mechanisms of heat transfer (i.e. conduction, convection and thermal radiation) and makes no references to any religious theology whatsoever.
