I was just listening to a presentation from Michael Mann from University Of Pennsylvania. It was a very sophisticated approach to climate change.
There were 2 takeaways that i liked. One of them was the fact that increased co2 does bring about the growth of more veggies but that those veggies aren't as nutritious as veggies grown under a smaller concentration of co2. It reminded me of Harvey.
The other takeaway that i liked best wasn't quite as clear to me but still very important. He made the case that it would be easier to reverse the trend toward higher co2 than was the opinion of some. He said that the ocean absorb co2 in greater quantities if they cool down. The bottom line of that is that the oceans can do more than was previously thought help the problem of climate change. Sorry but i missed the part about how to cool down the oceans. I think it was a snowball effect of simply reducing co2 and that would piggyback onto the ocean's effect to perpetuate even more reduction in atmospheric co2.
Gosh, he didn't bother to define climate or climate change.

OK, I'm poised for the punchline.

Was there an unambiguous definition of the global climate?

I absolutely must read this.

I might've just quoted a science paper that mentioned ammonia. With methane hydrate, would it be the binding energy between the methane and the water molecules that is stored/conserved heat content?
This gets into methane hydrates and their source; https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0378381210003985

If cold is required then was that atmospheric forcing from the stratosphere? With
methane hydrate, that seems almost like a cold environment doing something similar to making sucrose (C6H12O6) and other carbohydrates in plants.

Increasing CO2 improves plant growth, AND the nutritious value of the plant (bigger and healthier plant, you see).

Actually they don't. We don't know that friction causes heat by transferring momentum at the molecular level. We don't know that gas molecules have energy and heat when KE = 3/2kT where k is Boltzmann's constant and T is the temperature in kelvins. Can the friction between molecules actually constitute what heat is? The conservation of momentum?
Thermodynamics does allow for momentum to dictate thermodynamics and momentum = mv (mass x velocity). I think.

It might be. Then how the fields surrounding molecules interact with other such fields would suggest that heat and momentum can dictate thermodynamics. This
is one reason why magnetic fields matter. They can control the flow of heat.
This is actually a very interesting aspect of atmospheric chemistry. And it is what would allow for eWeather. That's basically how the field around the Earth is influenced by dark matter/gravitational field. And when the Moon's gravity creates a high tide on the opposite side of the Earth, the Earth's gravitational field is distorted.
And all of these things might play in how severe a storm can become or could explain why a storm fails to develop. This could end up becoming some of the coolest research in science. And that's because there's more to the weather than what I've said.

Have you tried packing your Bessler wheel with magnets ... you know, to let them dictate thermodynamics? Maybe you could try warping the earth's gravitational field or something. I know, try painting your Bessler wheel with some dark matter. It's bound to dictate thermodynamics better than what you have.

I actually think the energy that is lost when an electric motor performs work is its magnetic field and the energy it takes to create it. No magnetic field and no output
from the shaft the armature is on.
And the heat loss in the magnetic field is equal to the work the output shaft does.
How thermodynamics is considered when it is being converted into mechanical work.
With the Van Allen radiation belts (magnetosphere), if those 2 fields attract the tropopause which is also a field, science allows for 2 fields to interact. That is what Coulomb's law is about. When molecules are positively ionized/polarized then they are attracted to molecules that are negatively polarized/ionized because opposites attract.
One question you can ask yourself is how does one magnetic field know what the other magnetic field is. What can act on both magnetic fields?

Kind of obvious most consumers don't care about nutrition. Often, less is actually more. Maybe we have less obesity and other health issues. But, stronger, healthier plants, are better than not enough to go around.

Less nutrition only applies to certain, cherry-picked types of plants, in lab experiments. Plants can't absorb nutrients from the soil, that aren't provide in sufficient quantities for their growth. The test plants and control group were given the same amount... Plant's also adapt, generation, after generation. Who's to say that these plants would eventual regain their previous nutritional value over time. Those nutrients in plants aren't for feeding others. They are important to the plant.

Yes, that is interesting, and thank you for sharing.
If you think of CO2 as a fertilizer, the logic fits very well.
There must be a number of different balanced substances available to crops if they are to achieve the desired nutritional value.

One thing is farming but what about nature, did he talk about that.?
There is a huge problem with nitrate coming everywhere from industry and farming.

A consequence is that the nitrate-saving plants are threatened or eradicated by more nitrate-hungry plants. The thrifty plants are shaded out or otherwise suffocated by nitrate. This is also a major problem for insect life because many species depend on these thrifty plants.
It doesn't take much to imagine that CO2 either amplifies this or otherwise does similar things to some plants.

Excellent points, Harvey. Once CO2 falls below a certain threshhold, plants simply begin to die. We should all know what the "tree line" is. There is still Co2 in the air, but not enough to sustain life in the trees.



Decreases in atmospheric CO2 will have the effect of killing more and more plant life at lower and lower elevations. Conversely, increases in atmospheric CO2 are a boon for all plantlife globally.

One example of too high concentrations being harmful is with oxygen. Too high concentrations is harmful to the lungs (it actually oxidizes lung tissue) if continued for too long.

So when there are no trees on the coast or in the desert, it is because the trees are being suffocated by too little CO2.

If Harvey agree that nonsense was his point I will be very disappointed in him.

Nitrates are a fertilizer. It is not a shade and does not prevent CO2 from reaching the plant.

What is the problem with CO2?
It's really quite simple. First the sun pours heat onto the Earth. Then the Earth radiates enough heat back into outer space to maintain a constant temperature on Earth. The problem occurs when the level of CO2 in the atmosphere gets too high. When this happens, the Earth is prevented from releasing the heat back into outer space. As a result the Earth heats up and the problems begin. The science of this is undeniable.

Your logic isn't very good.

A sufficient lack of CO2 will eliminate trees. You have to understand your independent and dependent variables. You cannot swap them as though they are interchangeable. You cannot say that a lack of trees will eliminate CO2.

You're booooolsch'ting. You clearly took at least 57 seconds. You have to include the time switching between pages; that totally counts.

Remember, honesty is the best policy.


Fine, I'm busted. I type with 3 fingers on a good day, but I can copy and paste as good as any Swan.

Took me 5 minutes and 38 seconds.


Radiation will not penetrate a perfect insulator, thus as I said space is not a perfect insulator.- Swan

Thanks for posting that. It doesn't say anything about energy being created out of nothing. It says that co2 slows the escape of thermal energy from the earth. As a result of the same amount of thermal energy from the sun arriving and slower rate of release from the earth, the thermal energy of the atmosphere goes up.
I don't see it as a difficult concept to understand.

I do. You are increasing temperature and decreasing radiance. Can't do that.

I'm not doing anything really. The temp is going up because the outflow of thermal energy is being slowed by co2. The inflow from the sun is the same.

You must have additional energy to increase temperature. If the sun is the same, where is the additional energy coming from? You are trying to create energy out of nothing.

No additional energy. The key issue is the slower release of thermal energy as a result increasing concentration of co2.
