CO2 begets more CO204-02-2019 22:24 | |

As I understand the predominant theory, rising CO2 concentration in the atmosphere, through the greenhouse effect increases the global average temperature. Although this increase is not alarming, the increase triggers feedback from the big greenhouse gas, H2O, causing alarming warming of the planet. Recently, I heard another theory whereby the temperature increase from CO2 releases more CO2 from, I assume, the oceans, causing alarming warming. Please let me know which theory I should be loosing sleep over. |

You should be losing sleep over none of those theories... First off, you should ask for a definition of "global warming" which is non-circular. I have not seen anybody offer up one as of yet... Secondly, what you will find is that many people claim to know A LOT more about measuring temperatures than they really know about it... They will claim that the temperature of Earth can be measured, which is currently not possible to measure... How many thermometers would you use? Where would you place them? Would they all be spaced evenly? At what time would you read them (would they all be read simultaneously)? etc. etc... and even then, there are still numerous conflicts with science and mathematics themselves... |

Frescomexico wrote: Neither, for neither are theories. The phrase 'global warming' is meaningless, just as 'increasing the global average temperature' is meaningless. These can only be defined by themselves. When has this warming taken place? What are the two measurements that describe the 'warming'? Why are those two points significant? Why are any other two points NOT significant? Also, neither CO2 nor H2O have the ability to warm the Earth from surface emitted IR. No gas or vapor has that capability. Get a good night's rest.

It's the part that people are responsible for. The water vapor increase feedback "greenhouse" amplification is a result of increased temperature initiated by the increased CO2. The solubility of carbon dioxide (and other gasses) in water tends to decrease with increasing temperature, so a warming surface ocean would tend to outgas CO2. Cpnversely increased CO2 in the atmosphere would tend to dissolve more CO2 in the ocean. The surface ocean varies in temperature a lot and my understanding is that while warm surface waters do tend to lose CO2 to the atmosphere, colder ocean dissolves CO2, with, currently, a net uptake by the oceans. Then there are the seabed methane clathrates.... |

We have those records almost from the founding of this country - saying that the average climate for this period is higher or lower to this period is not a "circular argument" it is nothing more than plain reporting. |
