Hi,

I'm glad to being joining this forum, and I look forward to exchanging ideas.

Back in 2014, I wrote a book titled "Bursting the Atmosphere: what happens when rain falls up" (free PDF below, and available on Amazon). Using the Ideal Gas Law and thermodynamics, this book explains how climate change will progress due to the continued increase of man-made greenhouse gases, yet there will be no major increase in global temperatures: some fluctuations, but no major increases. At first (i.e. - now), the temperature will be moderated by the melting of the polar ice caps, sea ice, and other major ice formations like Greenland, glaciers and mountain range snow caps. Next, once the majority of these frozen water resources have melted, global temperature will continue to be moderated by the evaporation of planetary surface water from our oceans, seas, lakes, rivers, ponds, streams, etc., much in the same way as we sweat to stay cool when exercising. As our planet's atmosphere is not restrained by a hard outer shell, this mass-scale surface evaporation will lead to atmospheric expansion which, in turn, will raise all layers of our atmosphere above their current heights. Through this expansion, the tropopause - the highest elevation water vapor usually rises in the atmosphere before condensing and returning to the planet's surface as rain, snow, hail, etc. - will rise to levels where the sun's solar winds can knock water molecules en-masse into outer space, leading to a complete exodus of all planetary water, the total dehydration of Earth, and the extinction of all life on this planet.

While this is far from a cheery scenario, I am fascinated by the fact that for the first time in history, we can talk of "End of the Earth" in real-time scientific terms instead of biblical dogma.

I'm preparing to write the 2nd edition of this book, and I'd like to hear your thoughts. I've attached a free PDF of the book which you can share with others (BurstingTheAtmosphere_1stEdition2014.pdf).

PS - If you read the book, please let me know if you find any typos. I already know about "Steven Hawkins" (oops - sorry Steve) and that I got Mars and Venus backwards (what can I say, it's not easy juggling planets). But seriously, I highly value your input, corrections, and any additions you share. My contact info is on the second page of the PDF.

Sadly, we're talking about calving here. The past really doesn't matter. It's if today's herd has any bulls. If not, then it's just another herd.

Of course the past matters. You should be lamenting the departure of trafn ... he would be making you look like a genius. And then there was Ceist. I don't think he ever made a contribution. He posted a lot but only to insult people.

Good times!

So what's all this about calving?

As for me, that you had your own thought, I loved it. You see, people can follow an ideal but they can't say that something isn't quite right. You knew something was off and I can't repeat that. If I did, you might not post your own thought again.
For me, I simply love it.

I have to ask, is this your first compliment on Climate-Debate? Have I earned a bonus-point? I've never earned one before. This would be my first.
