RE: I finally started reading some of your shit.21-03-2022 10:22
sealover ★★★★☆ (1778)	people who arrive to this website and don't know how to find lists of posts available for reading from each member, may soon notice that for there are about an order of magnitude more troll responses than there are posts by the thread originators. It can be an aggravating nuisance to have to waste so many seconds of time just to scroll past garbage. You can find ALL the originators posts from the thread in chronological order by clicking "sealover" by the avatar. Above the middle of the page, "view all" will give the whole list rather just the most recent 10. So the option exists to never smell them once while you browse the library. But if you want to poke some of the bears around here to test your troll humiliation skills, they haven't all fled yet. They are so gullible too. Too easy. Kind of not as much fun this way. But still plenty of fun.

RE: Two ways water keeps us cool21-03-2022 20:44
sealover ★★★★☆ (1778)	Two ways water keeps us cool. First, heat is removed from the surface by evaporation. Hopefully that requires no explanation. Heat that had been removed from the surface is released high above when water condenses. Some of that heat is released as infrared radiation that is as likely to go to space as it is back to the surface. Some of that heat simply raises the temperature of the air high above the surface. Away from the ground. Water also provides shade when it condenses into clouds. In the absence of clouds, a lot more sunlight would be heating the surface. Atmospheric physics is not my specialty. If you have a question you were hoping I could provide a citation for, I am going to restrict such efforts to biogeochemistry. Climate models aren't my thing. But some of my friends could give you a more clear explanation. Now, I hope you will try to imagine something. Someone who has never seen the world of Internet website discussions looks at this place for the first time. They might wonder what I wondered. Why are the same people who chronically engage in behavior that would be inexcusable in any valid scientific debate... Why aren't you ashamed of EACH OTHER? Doesn't the company one chooses to keep say something about THEM?

IBdaMann★★★★★ (14955)	seal over wrote:TFirst, heat is removed from the surface by evaporation. So the atmosphere is hotter. How does that make us cooler? seal over wrote:Hopefully that requires no explanation. Unfortunately, you have to explain what you mean by "heat." It would seem that you have no idea what you are talking about so you use the word "heat" in the hopes that you can slide by without any questions. From The MANUAL. Heat: noun In the Global Warming theology, "heat" means whatever it needs to mean at any given moment. The term is employed by Global Warming believers to shift semantic goalposts as necessary. It's meaning can shift fluidly between "temperature," "increase in temperature," "thermal energy," "flow of thermal energy," "convection," "absorption of electromagnetic radiation," "energy," "friction," "conduction," "infrared," "plasma," "work," "radiance," "power," "radioactivity," "electrical energy" and others as convenient. ... so when you write "heat" ... what semantic are you employing? seal over wrote:Heat that had been removed from the surface is released high above when water condenses. All the "heat" that you mention is simply coming from the water itself. The water isn't cooling anything if it is simply evaporating, which is a reflexive verb. If the "standing water" hadn't been there in the first place, the water wouldn't have heated up in the first place. The water isn't cooling anything by evaporating, but it is heating the atmosphere. That's not cooling. It's what fuels (but does not cause) storms. seal over wrote:Some of that heat is released as infrared radiation that is as likely to go to space as it is back to the surface. Here you clarify your belief that "heat" is electromagnetic radiation. Is that what you meant above or are you fluidly shifting semantics from something else to thermal radiation? Will you be shifting semantics ti something else after this? I notice that you also used the word "released" with respect to "heat." Is that because you don't know what heat is or are you intentionally being dishonest? [hint: heat cannot be trapped/contained/held/incarcerated and therefore cannot be released/set free. seal over wrote:Water also provides shade when it condenses into clouds. ... but clouds absorb electromagnetic radiation and increase in temperature, ... which increases the temperature of the atmosphere. seal over wrote: In the absence of clouds, a lot more sunlight would be heating the surface. Irrelevant. On a hot day, it's the air temperature that makes you hot, not your lawn. seal over wrote:Atmospheric physics is not my specialty. I'll give you another pass. seal over wrote:If you have a question you were hoping I could provide a citation for, I am going to restrict such efforts to biogeochemistry. ... and since there is no such thing as biogeochemistry, this is your way of saying that you won't be answering any questions. seal over wrote:Climate models aren't my thing. They're nobody's thing. There aren't any. A modeler would have to have an unambiguous definition of the global climate in order to build such a model, and as you are painfully aware, there are no unambiguous definitions of the global climate that aren't immediately FALSE out of the starting gate. This is why you have never seen a climate model. seal over wrote:But some of my friends could give you a more clear explanation. Nope. They haven't seen any global climate models either. seal over wrote:Now, I hope you will try to imagine something. Someone who has never seen the world of Internet website discussions looks at this place for the first time. They might wonder what I wondered. You wondered if you met the strict definition of "troll"? I would think that should have been obvious, but I can imagine visitors to this site wondering if they should openly call you a "troll" or if there might be a newer term that they were supposed to use. seal over wrote: Why are the same people who chronically engage in behavior that would be inexcusable in any valid scientific debate... So you think visitors might wonder why we let you carry on as you do without immediately banning you? Well, hopefully they will see that all views are permitted. We don't have censors here. This site is moderated but not censored. Trolls such as yourself who intend to only disrupt and who are desperate to control the expression of others have a very difficult time when confronted by a board of independent voices expressing analytical and critical reasoning. You will never get your way. You will not like it here. Of course, you'd be delighted at what you find at YAP. You'll be the god that you so desperately need to be, and you won't find any critical reasoning or math or science thrown at you there; anyone who tries will be quickly punished by the YAP censors. seal over wrote: Doesn't the company one chooses to keep say something about THEM? Doesn't the poor grammar one employs say a lot about his lack of education? seal over wrote:Anyway, I'm not here to fight about climate models. ... nor are you here for any constructive purpose.

sealover ★★★★☆ (1778)	Photorespiration - the world's most abundant enzyme RuBisCO Increased atmospheric concentrations of Carbon in just the last few decades has caused significant increases in yields for plants that use C-3 metabolism. Which is almost all of them. Some in the desert do not because they cannot risk dessication by leaving open their stomata during the day when they would need to be pulling in CO2. They would have to open up at night and accumulate a stored reserve of CO2 taken in from the night air. It was costly to bind up the carbon dioxide without being able to use it yet for photosyntheis C-4 plants such as sugar cane, corn, and bamboo evolved a different way to catch CO2 that only became a competitive advantage within the past few million years, when CO2 dropped to below 350 ppm in the atmosphere. C-4 plants gained a major competitive advantage when the atmosphere changed a few million years ago. They have lost that competitive advantage in just the last few decades. Corn and sugar cane yields have not increased at all because of higher CO2. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- sealover wrote: Photorespiration, rise of C-4 photosynthesis fitness when CO2 decline to 350ppm Three million years ago, Mother Nature reset the dial on the earth's atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide. It dropped down. Like way, way down to where it had never been before. going to be evasive about photorespiration details, but suffice it for now to say that when photorespiration causes the plant to waste organic carbon that it fixed from the atmosphere just an enzyme grabbed oxygen, accidentally, rather than carbon dioxide. Carbon is a limiting nutrient when everyone competes under low CO2 at high noon under dense canopy of tropical rainforest. They can draw it down enough to increase the cost of doing business for photosynthesis. Like, by a LOT. Not coincidentally, corn and sugarcane originated from such environment. Bamboo too. Able to outgrow neighbors who were losing most of the carbon they fixed to photorespiration when the carbon feeding frenzy was so fierce. Bamboo, sugar cane, corn. Notoriously fast growers shoot up high fast. C_4 metabolism enabled them to do that when their neighbors were stalling under CO2-starved conditions.

It is rarely too hot or cold. The process starts at ground level not at some distance from the surface. The energy does not come back.CO2 makes it take a little longer to cool but the amount is tiny and not measurable.That is as simple as I can put it A pretty wide spectrum of light comes from the Sun, including UV(abc), infrared, visible light, and frequencies all the way down into the radio wave spectrum. Only infrared light, when it's absorbed, is converted to thermal energy. UV light, when absorbed, turns into chemical energy or directly ionizes. Think plastic degradation, suntans, or ozone. Visible light, when absorbed, turns into chemical energy. Think photosynthesis or plastic degradation. CO2 actually takes a bit LESS time to heat and cool than other gases. It therefore is simply the temperature of the air around it as it conducts heat better than most other gases. This is simply a result of it's mass per given volume at the same pressure. It is more massive than most other gases. This is why CO2 is a better gas to use in a Stirling engine than other commonly available gases. It is also one factor that makes CO2 a good extinguisher for fires (although a pretty minor one). You can find the thermal conductivity of various substances at engineering standards websites. Everything emits light according to the Stefan-Boltzmann law. That emission does not change by substance. There is no variable for substance in the equation. There is no variable for frequency in the equation. r=Cet^4 where 'r' is radiance in watts per square area, 'C' is a natural constant (that serves to convert the relation to our units of measure), 'e' is emissivity (or how well a surface radiates or absorbs light), and 't' is temperature in deg K. Note to sealover: This a definition. It is the definition of the Stefan-Boltzmann law, which you ignore and deny. It is a theory of science. You cannot set it aside, ignore it, deny it, or try to change it without falsifying it first.

There is no variable for frequency in the equation. r=Cet^4 where 'r' is radiance in watts per square area, 'C' is a natural constant (that serves to convert the relation to our units of measure), 'e' is emissivity (or how well a surface radiates or absorbs light), and 't' is temperature in deg K. Note to sealover: This a definition. It is the definition of the Stefan-Boltzmann law, which you ignore and deny. It is a theory of science. You cannot set it aside, ignore it, deny it, or try to change it without falsifying it first.[/quote Thank you ITN.That has made all the sense I needed.I only ever wished to know how it worked.I am sort off done now.The people who are alarmed wish to be alarmed about something.Good work.Its quite cool in the mornings now I will start wearing a jacket when I ride my petrol powered pushbike to work duncan61
