keepit ★★★★★ (3060)	Clouds are a GHG. I use clouds in this example because you can see clouds. There are several GHG's. Notice that when there are clouds above overnight that the temp doesn't go down as much as when there is a clear night. This slowing of heat transfer is because of the GHG (clouds). Hopefully a person can believe their own senses.

Hopefully a person can believe their own senses. That's really odd, I'm seeing something opposite happening right now. The sky is cloudy, probably no rain though, but very dense clouds. And the temperature has already dropped 4 degrees, in a little over an hour. It's about the same temperature now, as it was in this morning, when I went to work. Weather forecast's about another 10 degree drop by morning. What we have, is a cold front moving through. Fortunately, just a small one. Are you telling me, that without the clouds, we'd have frost and frozen pipes, without the clouds? How are yo determining the warming effect of clouds anyway? There are other factors effecting one's perception of night time temperature. You can take a temperature reading, remove the clouds, and measure the temperature again. Does the cloud density influence the warming effect? Here in Florida, there is a most definite cooling effect from daytime clouds, even with the high humidity. The one element about GHG warming that is generally seldom discussed, is time. The sun is the energy source, which does the warming during the day. At night, the surface cools, as well as the clouds, and all the other GHGs. How long do GHGs actively warm the surface, like the sun during the day? Few seconds, minutes, hours? It's fairly certain that it's done, well before the sun rises in the morning. We tend to look at wind speed and direction in terms of a two dimensional map, which isn't true. Going back to your cloud example. You ever watch them? You can see some moving faster than others. You can see clouds moving in different directions from each other.

keepit ★★★★★ (3060)	It's true that clouds are liquid water. I should have used the word water vapor. It's all H2O. which has the ability to slow the transfer of IR from earth to outer space.

HarveyH55★★★★★ (5197)	The air around us is in constant motion. The planet is in constant motion as well, rotates, and orbits the Sun. We don't get to press the <Pause> button, to take any measurements. You will note that the amount of 'global warming', on average, is only 1 degree Celsius, over the past 300 years. I'm seen ten times the cooling, just in a few hours, and expect to see maybe double that, in a single night. The cold front should be gone by morning, and we will get back up into the mid 80s by afternoon. The global warming, is just number manipulation, the results is just too small to compete with real time conditions. It's not a perfect world, even the most perfect calculations don't really apply. We just like to believe we have it all under control.

Hardly, I just don't buy the hype, or that man has anything to do with warming or cooling the planet. We survived as a species, by adapting to change, not fighting the changes. When it got cold, we found shelter, murdered furry animals, and wore their skins. We learned ways to make murdering animals safer, more efficient. We learned how to treat and preserve those skins, so they didn't rot and fall apart so quickly, get infested with bugs, or attract the attention of other animals looking for food as much. The climate changed, it got warmer, so we had other things to adapt to, and learn. We found a lot of safer, more productive ways to do things, better tools. One of those things, was that black goo burns really good, produces a lot of heat energy, for a good long time. We haven't found anything that works as well, or better yet.

And our greatest achievements could not have been done without useful measurement, productive calculations and fruitful science and engineering in general. We also have understood for thousands of years that managing our environment and our resources is key to our prosperity. Here and there we got is way wrong and learned the hard way. Cut all the trees down on Easter island, dump our chamber pots into the street (germs you can't see?!? no way man, not buying the hype on that), and accidentally killing the last few of something delicious. I think it's fair to see we have only just begun to burn oil if that's something we're going to keep doing. So this issue is worth studying. So I just don't agree with your dismissing it all with: HarveyH55 wrote:...It's not a perfect world, even the most perfect calculations don't really apply. ... Calculations apply.

HarveyH55★★★★★ (5197)	Math is a creation of man's thoughts. It's used to describe thoughts, ideas, observations, based what the individual believes to be true. Do you believe there people, who's thoughts are perfect, and their understanding of things complete, accurate, and true? Making mistakes, is part of the learning process, sometimes we get it wrong, and we figure out something better, which probably isn't going to be perfect in every way either, but it's better. Everybody sees things differently, but we can learn to change the way we look. The problem is that people are aware that perception is either voluntary or forced. Most people don't like to be forced into anything. We don't take to being controlled, or manipulated, pressured. Stress isn't good, and it forces us to make choices, to reduce stress. Those choice aren't always desirable, right, or good, but reduces the stress. The climate crisis is flawed, irrational, and not presented as objective science. It's being promote like a work of fiction, a movie about to be released. The villains in this fantasy, are really small, but are billed as capable of destroying the whole planet, in a very short amount of time, decades. The ideal CO2 level is about double what we have now. We have never see the full potential of what plants and tree can do, on a full, healthy diet. I just trust in the planet, more than the imperfect thought of greedy men.

And our greatest achievements could not have been done without useful measurement, productive calculations and fruitful science and engineering in general. We didn't need to measure the temperature of the Earth to figure out building shelters. Indeed, shelters are not just to help keep people warm. In places such as Egypt, houses are not built to keep people warm (it's quite warm at night!). Why do you suppose they built all those building and structures in Egypt, if it was not to keep warm? tmiddles wrote: We also have understood for thousands of years that managing our environment and our resources is key to our prosperity. No. Oligarchies or dictators 'managing resources' or 'managing environment' have brought untold misery and suffering.
