So I don't think this is presented as a "chicken or egg" theory correct?, but one where there is a different source other than CO2 that is causing warming.

No gas or vapor can cause warming. You can't create energy out of nothing.

Weak at ground level but the atmosphere is getting that radiance right? I personally think Venus is the place to study to really figure out what the deal is.

What's to figure out? A way to dismiss the 1st and 2nd laws of thermodynamics?

Sure. Just like on Earth. They also dissipate it.

It is not possible to trap heat.

It's like if I put a pot on the stove full of say refried beans and don't stir it (acts like a solid) the edges will burn while the middle is comparatively cool. If I stir it continuously (acts like a liquid) the entire mix will rise in temperature together. Different portions of the mix will take turns being the outer surface before flowing back into the middle. Doesn't it make sense that thick mix of matter that is free to flow and convect will soak up a lot of energy and that Venus is proof?

Welcome to the concept of convective heating.

Carbon cycle.
When the co2 in the atmosphere increases that increase stays there for 100's to 1000's of years. It is true that a given co2 molecule will only stay in the atmosphere for a much shorter length of time but the increase in total will stay for 100's to 1000's of years. The reason for this non intuitive discrepancy is because in the carbon cycle and circulation of co2 that gets in the atmosphere, that co2 is cycled out at a certain rate which is dominated by the earth's and ocean's ability to accept the co2 back (by mechanisms such as ocean absorption and rock and earth reabsorption) when rain falls and then drains to the oceans. The earth can only absorb so much at a time so if there is too much put into the atmosphere it has to wait there for the other carbon to sink to the bottom of the ocean and then slide under the adjacent tectonic plates and thereby become sequestered for a long time. When that happens then more co2 can be accepted by the earth and ocean. Meanwhile the co2 builds up and the sun keeps pouring thermal energy onto the earth.

CO2 does not have the magick ability to trap thermal energy.

Oh really? Is this divine information from your Christian God or from your goddess Climate?

Despite there being quite a large number of CO2 molecules in the atmosphere, I totally believe that you tracked them over thousands of years. I will also totally believe you when you tell me that whenever there is an increase in atmospheric CO2 that plants around the globe will nonetheless NOT take in any more than they had been taking previously because they maintain a certain discipline of avoiding additional CO2 if they can help it.

keepit wrote: that co2 is cycled out at a certain rate which is dominated by the earth's and ocean's ability to accept the co2 back (by mechanisms such as ocean absorption and rock and earth reabsorption)

You've got to be out of your scientifically-illiterate warmizombie-indoctrinated mind. Any atmospheric CO2 that makes it into the ocean is almost immediately released back into the atmosphere when ocean water EVAPORATES. I don't know if anyone ever pulled you aside and mentioned it to you but ocean water evaporation is kind of an ongoing thing.


keepit wrote: The earth can only absorb so much at a time

I hear what you're saying. There's no way that there are enough plants to absorb some more CO2. Yeah, you're absolutely right. That can't happen.

ITN and IBDM,
Sorry for the amateurish description of the carbon cycle. I'm just an amateur scientist (but i did stay at a Holiday Inn).
Anyway, no one is claiming CO2 traps the flow of thermal energy to outer space. Get over it. What it does is slow it.
No one is claiming that ocean water doesn't evaporate either. Get over it.
Also, i didn't mention anything about plants.
Re: CO2 going back and forth between that atmosphere and the ocean. Noone is claiming that CO2 isn't always going back and forth. The issue is the net flow.
I don't know how anyone figured out about the 1000 years except from proxies like ice cores.
The point is that large amounts of CO2 get moved under tectonic plates and that is a net decrease in surface CO2 but it is a slower process than the rapid increase in anthropogenic CO2.
No need for complaints about english (subjunctives and the like) here and no need for semantic discussions. Better to address the general idea.
By the way, venus doesn't have tectonic plates and that is why the CO2 built up to such a high level.

Argument from randU fallacy. False dichotomy fallacy. It is not possible to measure where CO2 comes from. It makes no difference. CO2 is CO2. There is no magick label on it.

Okay. Your general ideas are bogus. They are based on argument from randU fallacies and false dichotomies.

Irrelevance fallacy. Venus does have tectonic plates, though interaction between plates is different than on Earth, due to the high temperatures.
keepit wrote:

You have no idea where the CO2 on Venus came from.

A randU is a type of random number thought up out of someone's head, or numbers from an algorithm thought up out of someone's head to produce random numbers. It is also known as the 'psuedo' random number. It is one of three types of random numbers.

The term comes from random number mathematics. The other types are:
randR, or the type of random number similar to what dice produce. It has no memory.
randN, or the type of random number similar to what cards produces. It has a memory.

Using random numbers as 'data' is an argument from randU fallacy.

The number need not be an actual number. Psuedo values like 'everyone' or 'most' or 'no one' are often used in a similar way. They are also randU values.

It depends on how you consider it. Deforestation reduces the ability of forests to absorb CO2. The oceans are considered a carbon sink.
This might be a good place for you to start;

The ocean, a carbon sink
03/12/2016

A carbon sink is a natural or artificial reservoir that absorbs and stores the atmosphere's carbon with physical and biological mechanisms. Coal, oil, natural gases, methane hydrate and limestone are all examples of carbon sinks. After long processes and under certain conditions, these sinks have stored carbon for millennia. On the contrary, the use of these resources, considered as fossil, re-injects the carbon they hold into the atmosphere. Nowadays, other carbon sinks come into play: humus storing soils (such as peatlands), some vegetalizing environments (such as forming forests) and of course some biological and physical processes which take place in a marine environment.

Tmid,
I found several sources saying CO2 last hundreds to thousands of years in the atmosphere but no explanation of why.
Maybe it's as simple as the earth can only reabsorb so much CO2 in a given amount of time.


I think when the temp goes up for whatever reason, CO2 quickly increase and then there is a snowball effect.

I so totally believe you when you tell me that earth's thermal radiation is "slowed" to something less than the speed of light. It's all so obvious now that you cleared that up.

keepit wrote: No one is claiming that ocean water doesn't evaporate either.

You did. Your words only make sense within the context of the ocean absorbing and accumulating that "additional CO2." You clearly have no understanding that there is a rapid cycle with CO2 being released immediately upon evaporation of the water. You are a moron, plain and simple. To this day I can't recall anything that you have gotten right. And to this day you continue to take pride in getting everything wrong.

That's exactly my point. You should have. Apparently the concept of plants never occurred to you.

Most feedback counteracts an event so I don't think is "pure snowball" so to speak : )
Like radiance in general is the 4th power of temperature so the hotter something is the more rapidly it loses that extra energy.

It makes sense that if you toss in an extra dose of something into a cycle it will take a while for it to totally return to normal. It doesn't have to be the same CO2 molecules of course but the total being being impacted by the extra dose.

I vaguely recall atmospheric nuclear testing being a source of evidence on the half life for extra CO2 bucause an isotope was produced.

Woah! I'm no mathematician. Just some High School level skills.

Emissivity is just how much radiance is not reflected so it's the opposite of albedo. White and shiny is a high albedo and a low emissivity, black velvet the opposite.

You have to admit that there is no unambiguously defined "Climate" that has any feedbacks.

What is the "opposite"? Does the CO2 expel the water when the temperature goes down?

Black body is just an emissivity of 1.0, perfectly absorptive at all frequencies. So yeah we'd get close to absorbing more with dark blue ocean water or dirt replacing bright white ice and snow for the visible light spectrum.

Emissivity has no frequency term.

Wiki is wrong, like usual. Reference dismissed. You cannot use Wikipedia with me.

If you want proof of that just take snow, very on topic here. Ask yourself what the emissivity of snow is to visible light? 96%? Of course not. Black bodies are, after all, black.

But look at it's emissivity to infrared light on this table:
https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/radiation-heat-emissivity-d_432.html

"Snow 0.969 - 0.997"

This is what I found confusing at first before I realized when they don't tell you what wavelength they are measuring at it's infrared (I think).

Here they specify:
https://www.thermoworks.com/emissivity-table

"Infrared Emissivity Table
Snow 0.80"

So it can be frustrating to lookup online.

Here you see the albedo charted:


As you get to the infra red you can see even pure white snow is almost completely absorpitive, as good as black paint.

Let's look at what we know, shall we?

1) keepit has yet to get anything right.
2) Wikipedia is awash in errors, and keepit insists on treating it like an authoritative source. That explains a lot.
3) tmiddles only wants to disrupt conversations and here he is rushing to agree with keepit to perpetuate errors promulgated in Wikipedia.
4) both keepit and tmiddles are scientifically illiterate morons who only want to sow confusion and to glorify the physics violations of their Climate Change religion so they are happy amplify Wikipedia's gross conflation of blackbody "emissivity" which has no wavelength term, and the radiativity of substances that varies by substance and by wavelength.

Ergo, the preceding post is summarily dismissed in its entirely.

Ah the "Valid Data" myth of ITN/IBD. - tmiddles

Ceist - I couldn't agree with you more. But when money and religion are involved, and there are people who value them above all else, then the lies begin. - trafn

You are completely misunderstanding their use of the word "accumulation"! - Climate Scientist.

The Stefan-Boltzman equation doesn't come up with the correct temperature if greenhouse gases are not considered - Hank

:*sigh* Not the "raw data" crap. - Leafsdude

IB STILL hasn't explained what Planck's Law means. Just more hand waving that it applies to everything and more asserting that the greenhouse effect 'violates' it.- Ceist

ITN and IBDM,
You both keep saying countless times that emissivity has no frequency term.
Nevertheless frequency influences emissivity.
It's kind of like this - the velocity of a wave is influenced by frequency yet when you calculate the time it takes for the wave to get to a certain place you use the term velocity without discussing the wavelength.
It is similar to emissivity and SB law. Emissivity was influenced by wavelengh in coming to the SB conclusions.

Because it doesn't, and people keep trying to add it, including you. Attempting to add additional terms to emissivity or the Stefan-Boltzmann law is denying the Stefan-Boltzmann law.
