As I've stated repeatedly here, I'm looking for information about the claim that CO2 does what is stated in AGW theory. In my search, I came across this demonstration in support of the CO2 reaction with IR.
https://www.physics.upenn.edu/~pcn/Ms/18PhysTeacher.pdf

It appears to support but does not explain the reaction. For anyone interested, please tell me why this does not support the premise of the heating effect of CO2. What are we seeing?

Please remember I'm searching and non-scientific. Please don't challenge me about it because I'm asking objectively.

Why don't they just have a 1m^3 cube (or taller to prevent air circulation) with no top outside? Since CO2 displaces both oxygen and nitrogen, the CO2 levels inside the cube can be increased.
Does inside the cube become warmer as CO2 levels are increased? And what if mostly CO2 was placed in such a cube/column? How would its temperature compare to the air around the cube?
That would basically end all arguments/discussion but hasn't been done.
For what you are asking, what I posted would be the simplest test to determine the heating potential of CO2 in our atmosphere.

What you are seeing is the same party trick performed a thousand times. It shows that CO2 does absorb infrared light and convert it to thermal energy.

The trick part is that you can somehow heat the Earth by using Earth's own emitted IR this way. You can't.

CO2 absorption of infrared light emitted from Earth's surface is just another way for the surface to heat the atmosphere. The surface is cooled by this action.

You can't create energy out of nothing.

This is the objective answer. You can't create energy out of nothing. It's a party trick, leaving out this inconvenient little point. In the trick the fact that the surface is cooled by emitting IR is ignored.

Nah, I'm aware of what everyone is ignoring. Like in this link
https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/global-warming/last-2000-years
Where they say;
For example, it has become apparent that the "Medieval Climate Anomaly" temperatures from about 950 to 1250 AD were mostly warmer averaged over the Northern Hemisphere than during the subsequent "Little Ice Age" from roughly 1450 to 1850 AD.

Our current warming might be nothing more than a normal warming cycle. Until natural climate cycles are explained, do we really understand what's going on with our atmosphere? We don't except for pollution.
And with the simple party trick, no one has done it because they want the debate. And historically speaking, the temperature spiked during 3 out of the last 4 inter-glacial periods. But what we need to be concerned with is how it impacts a societies ability to function.

Thank you. I'm really not wishing to be obtuse about the matter but trying to reinforce my understanding. This point is important. So the IR is creating heat (increase in temperature) from the CO2 exposed to IR?

Heat is not an increase in temperature. It is the flow of thermal energy. Heat is not 'created'. It simply either exists, or not. Emitting IR from the surface requires energy. That cools the surface. CO2 absorbs some of that energy. That warms the CO2. The CO2 is also emitting IR, and that cools the CO2.

You can almost think of Earth basking like a hot coal on the edge of the fires of the Sun. It doesn't make energy itself, it just basks in the glow of the fire as the energy from that fire dissipates in to space.

While the Sun isn't actually fire, and the Earth isn't actually a hot coal, the same kind of thing is happening.

I understand the second point about entropy.


There are two laws of thermodynamics that apply here:

The 1st law: E(t+1) = E(t)+U
where E is energy, t is time, and U is work.

The 2nd law: e(t+1)>=e(t)
where e is entropy and t is time.

The 1st law says that energy is conserved. You cannot create or destroy energy. The only way to increase energy in any system is to put work into it. The only way you can get work out of a system is to reduce the available energy.

Work is just force * distance. Energy is the ability to create that force.

The 2nd law defines the word 'heat' and gives it a direction of flow. Energy naturally dissipates. Thermal energy is no exception. Heat is the flow of thermal energy (a concentration of thermal energy is 'hot', and a lack of thermal energy is 'cold'). Heat always flows from hot to cold, never the reverse.

How much planet killing warming could there be? CO2 is a trace gas in the atmosphere, only about 0.04%. The planet isn't enclosed in a jar. The parlor trick, fills the jar with CO2, not just 0.04%. It only warms, while the lamp is on. But, they never mention how quickly it cools, after the lamp is truned off...

I understand what you are saying. The thought occurred to me that the vessel was likely overcharged with CO2, relative to atmospheric volumes. That said, it appears that the FLIR cameras see a demonstration of heat. However I suspect that it's more of a display of a the reaction. In other words, neither vessel has a warmer interior. The one with CO2 concentrates the reaction in to a visible display. Or alternately it may amplify the heat but cool more quickly such that the total heat is the same...different energy over time?

As usual I know my lay descriptions may not be technically correct so please forgive me. I'm not trying to make something out of nothing.

OK, I *think* I might have had a break through in comprehension when I was composing the post below to Harvey. Back to the results of the test from the original post, the IR energy in to both vessels was ostensibly the same. A possible conclusion: the FLIR cameras are demonstrating a momentary increase in temperature on the side with with CO2, that side would cool quicker (like an extinguisher) wherein the total energy over time would be the same.

Does CO2 diffuse the photons? Something like causing a grenade to explode before it reaches its target?

If not I still need some help.

Harvey, you have to ask yourself "Why is there even a (special) lamp? Instead of pretending to "simulate" the sun with something that isn't the sun, why don't they do this trick outdoors in broad daylight on a sunny day with the same sunlight that the rest of the earth gets?"

After all, a heat lamp simply is nowhere near an exact replication of the sun which is required for there to be any sort of "scientific method"-type credibility involved. Yet EVERY instance of this parlor trick avoids the sun like the plague and uses a special lamp ... just like magicians need exactly the props and gear that they use to fool the audience otherwise the trick won't work.

Other than the difference between the two tubes in the demonstration referenced above, wherein one contains dry air and the other is CO2, what accounts for the increase in temperature (quoted below) in the vessel with CO2?

Figure 1 (c) The tubes were exposed to infrared light for two minutes. After irradiation was stopped, the one containing CO2 was observed to be slightly warmer for about one minute. That is, the apparent temperature when looking through this chamber was higher than either the backdrop or the other chamber.

All matter radiates due to its thermal energy

The Earths ground and water surfaces have temperatures that results in infrared radiance being emitted.

CO2, water vapor and other greenhouse gases absorb infrared where O2, N2 transmit it.

By absorbing termal energy on it's way out of the Earth sytem more thermal energy is present and the temperature is higher. Just like putting speed bumps on the freeway would increase traffic.

You are violating the 1st law of thermodynamics again. How is there more energy in the "earth system" by some CO2 within the "earth system" absorbing some ... especially considering that all matter has to have some anyway? It just means that the matter that previously had that thermal energy now has less. The "earth system" as a whole cannot somehow have more thermal energy now that some of its CO2 has absorbed some.

What do you have against thermodynamics anyway ... aside from it running counter to your faith?

tmiddles wrote: Just like putting speed bumps on the freeway would increase traffic.

Speed bumps do not increase traffic. Speed bumps slow down the average speed of the same amount of traffic. Speed bumps cannot control how many cars wish to pass over them.

There is no such thing as a 'greenhouse gas'. No gas or vapor is capable of warming the Earth using IR emitted from Earth's surface. You cannot create energy out of nothing.

The point of the first post in this thread was to isolate and differentiate the physical action of CO2. There is a Penn State experiment referenced that states that CO2 does increase the temperature in the experimental tube. This is consistent with the prevailing position of the 'climate alarmists'.

I was hung up on my comprehension of the actions of CO2 in a closed loop system wherein it was either adding heat to the atmosphere or not. While it may be a moot point for discussion, it was something I wanted clarified.

Since I can't seem to get this right, I'll take another swing at it and state that the issue is not whether or not CO2 adds temperature to the atmosphere because the IR photons will ultimately be converted to thermal energy whether it's through carbon dioxide or some other mechanism.

If that's true, I'm back to square one of trying to figure out why carbon dioxide is considered by 'climate alarmists' to be the boogeyman.

At the risk of personal ridicule, I can't be anymore forthcoming than this.

The effects of CO2 are well known I can't see how this is an "issue" certainly other mechanisms are at play in determining temperature and finding exactly what effects they are is something that work is being done but you won't find out about that on here.

If the reaction of 100% of atmospheric gasses to IR are the same, and there's a finite amount of IR entering the atmosphere, and energy cannot be created through those reactions, what difference does it make how much CO2 is in the atmosphere?

OK so I think we can all agree the Sun is not in thermodynamic equilibrium. It's actually generating thermal energy, which in turn is emitted as radiance.

When looking at the thermodynamics of any planet in our solar system you cannot remove the Sun from the equation. Radiance from the Sun is the dominant source of thermal energy for everything above ground.

So Earth essentially receives energy from the Sun and then loses it out into space when it either reflects or radiates it.

Can we agree that the dark side of Earth has a much higher temperature than the dark side of the moon?

They are not.

When radiance reaches matter it does one of three things (these are your only options):
1- Reflected away
2- Absorbed
3- Transmitted

Transmitted means that the radiance passes right through the matter without being absorbed or reflected. It's transparent to the radiance. We know room air for example is transparent to the white light we see. We know the wall and door absorb that white light and reflect it.

Infra red passes right through Oxygen and Nitrogen, 99% of the non water vapor composition of our atmosphere, because it is transmitted.

Tyndall discovered the unique difference of CO2 to room air by seeing that infra red radiance passed through room air easily while CO2 interrupted it's path (because it absorbed it).

Here is a modern version of Tyndall's experiment:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGaV3PiobYk

White light, high frequency radiance, passes right through CO2 and water vapor as well. Which of course we know because we see this with our own eyes.

Earth has a continuous supply of energy from the Sun. It's not a "fixed" amount like a bank account balance but more like a "Fixed income" like a pension.

The temperature of Earth is not determined by the Energy we get from the Sun directly but by the amount of Energy present at any one time. Despite the claims that thermal energy cannot be stored it essential is. Thermal energy works it's way through a system. It is NOT instantly re-radiated all of the time. If it were the dark side of Earth would be as cold as the moon's dark side wouldn't it?

"They are the same in terms of the end result of being converted to thermal energy." is not correct. If radiance is transmitted, as in a gas is transparent to it as air we breath is to white light, then it's not converted into thermal energy at all.

OK again there is a misunderstanding. Let me ask you this:
Why is the dark side of Earth so warm? I mean it's blazing hot compared to the dark side of the moon.

Dark side of Earth at ground level is ~ 10C
Dark side of the Moon at ground level is ~ -150C

pretty different right? Why?
