It seems alot of people think that its not too late YET, but will be soon. What do you think? Do you think soon, it will be too late to reverse the effects of climate change??

I don't know. It seems that tipping points are a topic of much contention here, but so are basic radiative laws, so that doesn't mean much. I'm inclined to believe the scientists over a couple of conspiracy theorists, and I'd suggest that you do the same.

There is no such thing as the earth's "climate."

Hence there is no "climate change."

Hence, there is no such thing as a "tipping point" for "climate change."

Humans can't do anything about things that don't exist.

Hence, humans cannot "reverse" something that does not exist, i.e. "climate change."

The only way that we can reverse the effects of anthropogenic climate change due to global warming is to reduce the amount of CO2 and other greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere to their pre-industrial levels. This is not feasible with currently foreseeable technology, so the best that we can do is to limit global warming to an amount that humans and other species are able to tolerate.

Most climatologists reckon that a 2 C increase above pre-industrial temperatures is about the limit before climate change starts to cause major problems. In my opinion, it is very unlikely that we will achieve this, so a certain amount of negative impact is inevitable. However, these impacts will become more severe, the more greenhouse gases we emit, so it is still well worth doing as much as we can to reduce emissions.

What's a "climatologist" and why would anyone care what one thinks? They sound really stupid.

I think both you and I are aware that you aren't very likely to ask any tough questions of your clergy or of the people you trusted who indoctrinated you into a Marxist family of religious faiths.

All you seem to be able to do is to lob easy, softball questions to me and to ignore the easy answers.

Hey, have you lived my life? I've asked a lot of questions. I'm no sheeperson. (sheepleson?) I've come to my conclusions through much thought. I've fallen into some pits - I supported a nanny state once, when I was naive and thought that a republic could adequately prevent corruption. I've gotten out of them.

All you seem to be able to do is to lob easy, softball questions to me and to ignore the easy answers.


You haven't adequately responded to a single question of mine. Just insulted me.

Who indoctrinated you into Marxism? Is s/he available to discuss?


No. My dad's a socialist, but I had socialist leanings before I discussed things with him. And those discussions were very damn good discussions. Much better than the flamewars I've had with you.

I have yet to have an credible science shown to me that scares me at all about the prospect of a slight warming of the world.

Any and all talk of tipping points is just drivel. There is no such mechanism out there waiting for us to sin too much to come and kill us or whatever.

Even the slight warming of the world is highly unlikely to be more than tiny rather than slight.

How is "the IGL doesn't apply to gases, because real gases have finitely-sized molecules and intermolecular forces" a WACKY assertion? It's backed up; it has an explanation. It also shows an at least decent understanding of science.

Claim: to "state or assert that something is the case, typically without providing evidence or proof."

Yes, you're making claims. You claim that the IGL applies to real-world gases. You claim that the GHE violates the 1st and 2nd LoT, as well as S-B and Planck. This is disputed. Saying that your statements are true "simply because they aren't claims" is (by your definition) a circular argument, or (by [i]everyone else's/i] definition) argument from assertion.

It's a WACKY assertion because you don't know what the word "applies" means. You apparently don't see how stupid it is for you to acknowledge that physics applies everywhere always but still try to claim that the physics you find inconvenient "don't apply" in your case.

Perhaps you need to be looking for a different semantic that would actually help you understand the issue. No wait! You aren't allowed to do that. Your religion will not permit it. I'm certainly not going to waste my time writing out an explanation that I can anticipate you ignoring by command of your church.

In fact, I shouldn't even waste time discussing with you. I should just ask Surface Detail what your position is. It would certainly save time.

IB, do you understand what an explanation is? You are claiming that "jwood's dad doesn't want to talk" leads to "jwood is here to preach". How does the former lead to the latter? Detail that, and you will have given an explanation. Just a list of steps will work fine, in fact; it doesn't have to be that complex.

The IGL applies to some gases in the sense that it is nearly true when describing them. The IGL does not apply to other gases in the sense that it is inaccurate when describing them.

There, see? Laws don't have to apply to everything.

Perhaps you need to be looking for a different semantic that would actually help you understand the issue. No wait! You aren't allowed to do that. Your religion will not permit it. I'm certainly not going to waste my time writing out an explanation that I can anticipate you ignoring by command of your church.


Hey IB... guess what.

Bulverism!

In fact, I shouldn't even waste time discussing with you. I should just ask Surface Detail what your position is. It would certainly save time.


The 0th Law of Thermodynamics states that if two systems are both in thermodynamic equilibrium with a reference system, they are in thermodynamic equilibrium with each other.

A similar thing applies - we agree with each other because we both agree with the science.

I wrote out for you what I claim. You still aren't getting it correct. It's that mental control your religion has over you. It must suck.


Bulverism sucks, yeah. I wish you'd stop it.

Bulverism is where you explain why someone is wrong instead of how they are wrong.

That'd sum up his attacks pretty nicely. He explains that we simply can't grasp the science because our WACKY evil Marxist religious dogma demands it of us.

Is there anything wrong with this definition?

Bulverism is the logical fallacy of (assuming that the opponent is wrong and then) explaining why he is wrong. This is fallacious because it combines the genetic fallacy and argument from assertion. For example, if I explain that Mr. Johnson is only saying that cow's milk is bad for you because he sells almond milk, I am making the fallacy of Bulverism. (If this seems like ad hominem, it should - it's very similar.) The correct way of countering Mr. Johnson's argument would be to, say, point out an incorrect assumption or a faulty logical statement (such as A->B => ~A->~

You insist that "greenhouse effect" magically creates energy in violation of the 1st LoT. You ineffectively deny this by simply claiming that no energy is created, but the fact remains that you are claiming the average global temperature increases, and that is the definition of an increase in energy.

You further insist that the 1st LoT can be violated if electromagnetic energy happens to be radiating in the right direction.

You insist that the earth's temperature and earth's radiance can move in opposing directions in violation of Stefan-Boltzmann.

You claim that there is somehow an "atmosphere" or "atmospheric composition" parameter to Planck's ... in violation of Planck's. You ineffectively deny this at first by trying to treat the atmosphere separately, as though it isn't part of the body "earth" ... and then when you fail at that you pout and shift to absurdly arguing that Planck's law somehow does not apply in your case.

You are currently, as I write this, arguing in another thread that thermal convection and conduction work the same as thermal radiation (fallacy) in an attempt to construct the argument that "greenhouse gas" forms an "insulation" against earth's thermal radiation. This argument will not go well for you.

I don't think there is any science you won't happily deny in defense of your WACKY religion.

You are currently debating with Into the Night over the predictive nature of science. On this topic he and I use different wording. I'm waiting for my turn with you on that topic. I say yes, science models predict nature, but not that he is incorrect (again, we use different wording). Anyway, it'll be glorious.

The energy within the Earth system increases. That doesn't violate any laws.

The 1st Law doesn't apply to systems that have energy flowing in and out. Only closed (isolated?) systems conserve energy.

Yes. The latter is a direct effect of the "dampening effect" of GHGs. The first is a result of that.

No, I don't. Strawman.

The radiation from the surface is different from the escaping energy. The atmosphere affects the radiation that travels through it.
and then when you fail at that you pout and shift to absurdly arguing that Planck's law somehow does not apply in your case.

Planck's Law doesn't even apply to gases! Why would it apply to systems involving gases?

Strawman.

If we are looking at energy flows for the purposes of the 1st and 2nd, thermal convection and conduction and radiation are equivalent. We aren't looking at how the energy is being transmitted, just where from and where to.

Like insulation, GHGs reduce the amount of energy that leaves the Earth system relative to the surface. If you've ever used a spectrophotometer, you'll know that different materials have different transmissivity.
I don't think there is any science you won't happily deny in defense of your WACKY religion.

I'm denying that you are correct. The science is firmly on my side.
