The definition of a "closed system" is determined by the speaker. There is no person, organization or institution that owns science. I fully realize that you believe Wikipedia owns science ... and that's why you spew error-filled crap.

When I speak/write, I use my defintion and you are welcome to translate my terms into your terms.

The earth is a closed system if the speaker frames the context as such. You probably sucked at math word problems.

Just as you cannot have your own facts, you do not control the meaning of words, that is defined by the dictionary and in scientific issues definitions are precise and universal.

Learn to read. I said that for the Salesman and Clergyman to succeed they need customers/congregations to have open minds, not that they themselves had open minds.

Pete Rogers. If you check you should find that every priest's congregation is a collection of the closed-minded. Open-minded people ask questions so they soon reject what the Priest says when he can't answer them. The congregations come from the closed-minded people who; not having an enquiring mind: just believe what they are told. They are gullible.

Open-minded people will buy things from salesmen, but only when the salesman's claims about his product are borne out. Salesmen of poor value products will concentrate on the same gullibility that the Priest does.

Pete Rogers wrote:Science can only be successfully undertaken by the open-minded.

Science can only advance where there is doubting and questioning. The scientific method can only be correctly applied by a doubter and a questioner, and science can only advance if the scientific method is correctly applied.

Pete Rogers. Of course, and it is open-mindedness that makes sure we remain ready to listen to alternatives, but they will be rejected if they do not withstand examination, that is the scientific method. It is more formally that of epistemology.

Pete Rogers wrote:I have no problem with anyone expressing doubts.

You have a problem with every single one of mine. You selectively filter them out. This is why you are no smarter today than when you first proposed your truly stupid religious dogma. It's almost as if you are taking pride in the extent to which you refuse to learning anything.

Pete Rogers. No. I simply reject ideas that do not stand examination, therefore in the absence of support for what you say, it can't stand.

Yes I did. Religions are not real. Religious dogma is not real ... and now your selective filtering is kicking in, these words are starting to fade ... and now this section of the screen looks blank. Done. It's like none of this was ever said.

Pete Rogers. It is not Religion to say that certain atmospheric gases intercept IR, but correct Science.
It is bad Science; however, to go on to say that this interception of IR can be shown to have a thermal consequence, and if bad science is preached it is religion and to be rejected as all other such fancies.

Pete Rogers wrote: ... and the reflection, deflection and absorption of the measure of IR affected is the mechanism of the GE.

Nope ... not by any Greenhouse Effect that has ever been unambiguously defined ... because Greenhouse Effect is just a WACKY, unfalsifiable religious dogma that has never been unambiguously defined for that reason ... just like your Atmospheric Temperature Enhancement. It remains equally undefined unambiguously in any way that doesn't violate physics because it too is WACKY religious dogma. As predicted, your selective filtering is kicking in, these words are starting to fade ... and now this section of the screen looks blank. Done. It's like none of the above was ever said.

Pete Rogers. As previously stated certain Gases Intercept IR, but it doesn't lead to warming. The warming effect produced by the presence of our atmosphere is due to concentration of heat energy due to loss of volume to compression caused by gravity.

Pete Rogers wrote: The matter in dispute is not whether this happens,

Yes it is. The undefined is always presumed to not happen. Look up Occam's Razor.

Pete Rogers. I have to disagree again because it is an empirical fact that some gases intercept IR. William of Occam cannot help you.

Pete Rogers wrote: IPCC say ..

Pete Rogers. Well we should care enough and be very interested in exposing all liars and not let the dogmatic (the closed-minded) close our mouths.

Pete Rogers wrote:By all means feel free to come back if you believe you can falsify the particulars of what I have just said

All religions are unfalsifiable, including yours. No one can show your religion to be false any more than anyone can show that Christianity is false. It's the nature of religions.

Pete Rogers. I have given a purely scientific argument and submitted it for falsification. To do that you must show that its particulars are incorrect. Here is a particular which I would like you to falsify using evidence.

"If the atmosphere were under low pressure it would be much larger. The mass would be the same so it would contain the same total heat energy, but the larger volume would mean less heat energy per unit volume, therefore it would be much cooler. accordingly gravity causes the temperature to rise and we call this the ATE."

Simple declarations are of no use in the process of falsification.

All religions are falsifiable its just that the closed-minded who believe in them are happy to believe the impossible rather than upset Authority and their fellows- alas. They are a flock to follow the shepherd and will surely get fleeced. We should nevertheless attempt to wake them up in my view.

Pete Rogers wrote:Perhaps I can clear up a further misunderstanding. The force of gravity – being permanent – causes all inflow of heat into the base of the compressed atmosphere to be concentrated so that the temperature increases.

Again, you omit inclusion of where this provides increased cooling ... ooops, selective filtering just kicked in again ... this whole portion ... gone. Whew! That was close. It almost stuck. We dodged a bullet there.

Pete Rogers. Thats a bit of a misunderstanding to say the very least of it. All heat flow systems with finite inputs will reach equilirium when the output reaches parity. It is difficult to make out any kind of point from you here as your words seem more like playground taunts than anything resembling reasoned argument.

Pete Rogers wrote: It is a fluid process whereby gravity compressing a continuous heat inflow causes continuous enhancement which transfers back to the Earth's surface continually causing IR emission to increase until the system is brought into equilibrium at the newly enhanced temperature. All we experience is the equilibrium position and this heightening of temperature is known as the ATE.

All of this is a classic Climate Change "feedback loop." Into the Night has been caught sleeping on the job when he should have been the emergency first responder explaining the problematic runaway effects of perpetual motion machines. We're going to have to ding him on that one.

Either your ATE keeps generating more and more energy until the earth goes up in flames in short order ... or it does nothing. Would you care to guess which one is correct?

Pete Rogers. With finite inputs and increased IR emission from the surface due to the warming caused by gravity; which is just a constant input as is solar: an enhanced equilibrium temperature is reached.

Please don't be offended but I don't consider you up to the level necesssary to critique my work. But thank you for the offer. It was very thoughtful.

Pete Rogers. Since you offer nothing but declarations it is hard to see what work you mean. Whether you are a person qualified to judge the level of knowhow of another is certainly not evident from anything said here.

Pete Rogers wrote:The Second Law requires that heat flows from the warmer to the cooler body

... that thermal energy flows from matter of higher temperature to matter of lower temperature.

Pete Rogers. Precisely, therefore the elevated temperature must be conducted back to the surface.

The more you rely on the word "heat" the more you advertise that you don't know what you are talking about. Seriously, you might find it more convenient to rent a billboard "I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!"

Pete Rogers. This is just more playground shouting as there is nothing here said to support the meaning.

Pete Rogers wrote: You refer to Holmes, Nikolov and Zeller as "high priests of his faith" whereas I do not run on faith, but epistemology.

You operate on religious dogma. You deny science outright. Oops, selective filtering again ... gone.

Pete Rogers. What you have been given is Science, so please provide corroboration of the statement about religious dogma.

Pete Rogers wrote: Personally I would say that which can be shown to be fact should stand for truth

"Showing something to be fact" means to convince all parties participating in the discussion to accept it as TRUE ... which means everyone will accept it as TRUE. Yes?

Pete Rogers. No, only if it is epistemologically established and all parties are in accord. What you are talking about includes rhetorical truth where you "convince" people by brow-beating. That is rejected by any scientific process aimed at seeking the facts out.

Pete Rogers wrote:If you argue that there is no such thing as truth we must wonder what you would base your system of justice on.

Bad news. It has been mathematically proven that the truth cannot be known. Every logical system is incomplete ... and that includes systems with infinite predicates. Our finite brains can only handle finite systems. We can't know the truth, even presuming it exists. Doesn't that just make your Wheaties go soggy?

Pete Rogers. That is purest navel-gazing. Since there is no truth according to your belief, then nobody can speak "the truth , the whole truth and nothing but the truth" so every killer should be set free in your world. The words also mean that what you are yourself saying is not true and that seems to be the most importand point so far made.

Pete Rogers wrote:That accepted science will eventually be overtaken by a superior finding certainly can't be ruled out,

There is no such thing as "accepted science." Nor is there "mainstream science," "conventional science" or even "scientific consensus." There is only "science" whether any given individual accepts it or not.

Pete Rogers. More declaration and no substance. It is not true; accordingly:that you will be getting up in the morning if able for the freseeable future, so why do you bother?

Pete Rogers wrote: When a gas body expands it is doing work and that work dissipates energy and the temperature falls.

Stop. Now you need to explain what you believe you mean by "dissipates energy." Are you implying a violation of the 1st law of thermodynamics because the energy is destroyed into nothing, thus reducing the temperature? ... or are you saying that the thermal energy merely flows out of it, thus increasing the temperature of other matter? Please be specific.

Pete Rogers. It means the energy per unit volume of the gas body is lessened. The energy is conserved, but the gas body is bigger so the temperasture is less. It is basic Fluid Dynamics.

Pete Rogers wrote: When a body of gas is compressed by Gravity instead then it is performing negative work which is simply the reverse; energy accumulates accordingly and the temperature rises.

The only way for energy to "accumulate" in this scenario is for energy to be created out of nothing and then "accumulate." Otherwise you make no sense. The same fixed quantity of energy cannot be "accumulating."

Pete Rogers. It just means there is more heat energy per unit volume. The energy remains the same, but the volume does not, so the temperature rises. It is basic Fluid Dynamics.

So your dogma assumes that gravity is a magical force that magically creates energy out of nothing and that ATE is the accumulation of the created energy ... whereas "negative work" is the destruction of energy into nothing that lowers temperature. Got it.

Pete Rogers. It is not a dogmatic point if you look. I put the particular concerning this to you further up, so I will wait to see how you falsify it - if indeed you do any more than make further unsupported assertions.

Violation of the 1st law of thermodynamics all around. #

Pete Rogers. No, and you should know that by now.

Pete Rogers wrote:Gas; and gas alone: can convert the Force of Gravity into heat-energy leading to temperature rise in this way.

I figured as much.

I have bad news for you. This is the exact same problem with Greenhouse Effect, i.e. the creation of energy out of nothing in violation of the 1st law of thermodynamics. Your ATE is GE in disguise. There's no substantive difference between them.

Pete Rogers. It is not the creation of energy, it is its concentration. If the same heat energy occupies a smaller space it will cause the temperature to rise - that's all. Gravity does this.

Pete Rogers wrote: Work can be either positive or negative: if the force has a component in the same direction as the displacement of the object, the force is doing positive work. If the force has a component in the direction opposite to the displacement, the force does negative work.

This is what I asked you the first time I asked you about this. This is subtracting work from other work.

Pete Rogers. What is your point please?

Pete Rogers wrote: Throwing terms around like "intentionally dishonest" does you no favours.

I'll be sure to keep that in mind when I start asking for favors. I'm sorry, "favours."

Pete Rogers. I'm talking about you doing yourself no favours, no need to ask for them in thst case.

Your intentional dishonesty occurs when you decide to disregard corrections to your errors as if they were never mentioned. You decide to do it. It is intentional. Don't pretend to tell me that "intentional" and "dishonesty" somehow mean other things. And tell your country to drop the unnecessary "u" because you don't do yourselves any "favours" by cluttering up the page.

Pete Rogers. More kid's stuff? Where were any disregarded corrections explained? I am proud to dismiss anything unexplained. Just making statements without support seems to be your limit, but you should be aiming higher.

Pete Rogers wrote: I rely on others expressing their doubts, but it must be cogently done

Nope. Any doubter gets to express his doubts any flipping way he wants to express them ... and you will like it ... or else you will simply be dismissed.

Pete Rogers. Of course he can, but we just don't mistake that for science. Which is what should be going on here, but is lacking.

At the moment I have simply dismissed your WACKY religious dogma that egregiously violates the first law of thermodynamics. I'll be happy to consider future revisions but I don't need to wait for your critique of my critique. In fact, you can save yourself some time and just fuggetaboutit.

Very Scientific I must say!! Did you get that from Newton?

Any and all bodies of gas - our own atmosphere included - undergo thermal enhancement when compressed because the heat energy contained within them consequently occupies a reduced volume so there being more heat per cubic metre causes the temperature to rise. Our own atmosphere undergoes compression at around 10 tonnes per square metre at the surface which comfortably explains the ATE leaving nothing for the GE to account for so CO2 is of no consequence, including our 3% of it.

You have been listening to nonsense about planetary temperatures and their atmospheric pressures by Steven Goddard (or is it Tony Heller today?) or one of his disciples of deception. They are tricking you.

The act of compressing a gas heats because you are doing work on it. The amount of work you do (i.e., the more you pump) translates directly to the temperature increase. Stop pumping and it soon cools back down to ambient temperatures.

Leave it at the higher pressure and it does not stay warm (otherwise your car tyres would be permanently hot).

There is no pumping action on the atmosphere. Yes, the pressure changes but as often goes down (cools) as it goes up (warms). Net effect zero.

Pete Rogers.

I see another genius has descended amongst us that we be graced by his wisdom. I am extremely grateful that he has spared the time to put us straight - let's see.

I wonder if he is aware that the degree of Compression a gas body is under dictates the extent to which the heat energy contained in the gas occupies a lesser volume than it otherwise would, so the heat energy - which is thereby conserved incidentally - is accordingly more per unit volume thus sending the temperature up.

Of course our genius's motor tyres will cool down after all his strenuous efforts in heating them up (well done him) because the heat causing the elevated temperature must be conducted away into the cooler surroundings as required by the 2nd Law. The atmosphere, however; and I am hoping that one of such eminence has noticed this: has no surroundings into which the elevated temperature can be conducted under the 2nd or any other Law because there is only vacuum. The atmosphere is therefore what we call "an adiabatic gas body". Accordingly the enhanced temperature developed by the loss of volume is returned to the Earth's surface; being the only exit for it under the 2nd Law: thus warming it and raising the outgoing IR emission as a consequence until an enhanced equilibrium temperature is reached. The increase thereby acheived is known as the ATE (Atmospheric Thermal Enhancement). The state of compression (auto-compression to be precise) is permanent so that the temperature effect of the inflowing heat energy is permanently caused to be enhancement in proportion to the diminution in volume it would otherwise have occupied being reduced by gravitational compression. What we experience is the resultant equilibrium. Even one such as I; so much less gifted than he: is able to follow this, but in case it is all baloney after all let us first wait for his friendly and erudite correction.

Your 3% figure for CO2 is wrong - it more like 50%. Where you have been misled is that we add about 3% per year. As the years pass the CO2 level builds up because we are adding extra each year.

Pete Rogers.

Here are the figures according to the Unversity of West Virginia. By all means dispute them - but being gifted as you are you will already be aware that it is necessary to provide sound reasons for doing so. Not just throwing declarations and accusations around like some others in this thread have so much fun with.

http://www.geocraft.com/WVFossils/greenhouse_data.html

Considering that termites account for many times as much CO2 emission as the whole of Mankind (and his animals, industries etc.) you're going to have a tough time getting to your 50%, but since you knoew best it behoves me to await your sage advice with respectful interest.

Here is some evidence for you to expose as untrue using your exceptional knowledge.

"Termites produce more CO2 each year than all living things combined
December 20, 2014 by Robert
Termite and Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Facts:

Scientists have calculated that termites alone produce ten times as much carbon dioxide as all the fossil fuels burned in the whole world in a year.

Pound for pound, the weight of all the termites in the world is greater than the total weight of humans.

Scientists estimate that, worldwide, termites may release over 150 million tons of methane gas into the atmosphere annually. In our lower atmosphere this methane then reacts to form carbon dioxide and ozone.

It is estimated that for every human on Earth there may be 1000 pounds of termites.

On the average Termites expel gas composed of about 59% nitrogen, 21% hydrogen, 9% carbon dioxide, 7% methane, and 4% oxygen.

It is thought "There are 2,600 different species of termites, and it is estimated that there are at least a million billion individual termites on Earth, that they emit two and four percent of the global carbon dioxide and methane budget, respectively-both mediated directly or indirectly by their microbes.

http://termitedetector.com/detection.cfm

Thanks to E Stephens for this link"

Both sides of the dispute accept that mankind accounts for 3% of all CO2 emitted, so your Nobel Prize awaits once you prove it to be so that we are all wrong except for you.

Some falsely tell you that an atmospheric gas cannot heat the planet. They base their arguments on the fallacy that the heating mechanism that the gas itself become hot and the thermal capacity of the gas is too small to hold enough heat to warm the oceans and land. That is true but the fallacy comes in that this in not the heating mechanism.

Pete Rogers.

I refer you to my earlier explanation. Reduction in the volume of an adiabatic gas body causes temperature increase. It is so severe an effect that large bodies produce millions of degrees of thermal enhancement; under nothing but auto-copression: leading to the creation of Stars. It is called the Kelvin Helmholz Effect, but because our Atmosphere is a comparatively small gas body the resultant temperature increase from the action of its own weight (auto-compression) in its case only leads to this modest enhancement - the ATE as we know it.

What actually happens is the extra GHGs and aerosols change the Earth's energy balance by trapping more heat energy (IR). They act like an additional blanket. The thicker the blanket the more it warms. The blanket on your bed does not get hot and warm you (unless it is electric!) it just inhibits the heat loss from your body making you warmer. That is what the GHGs and aerosols are doing for the Earth to warm up.

Alas! your genius may have let you down just a wee tad here. The atmosphere does not act like a blanket because blankets stop heat loss by preventing convection. All that happens in the atmosphere is that certain molecules reflect a small amout of IR with no thermal consequence having been empirically shown. There is no obstruction to the convection flows as though it were acting as a blanket - no siree.

The idea of this kind of thread is to test the proposed argument. It is not a matter of triumph and defeat to any grown up mind. We all benefit from a deeper understanding at the end of the epistrmological process sought, so let's tone it down and forget the point-scoring nonsense hereafter.

It is not up to you or me to warm anything, it is simple fluid dynamics that heat energy flowing from a non-compressed to a compressed medium will cause temperature enhancement in direct proportion to the volume of the compressible medium lost to the degree of compression undergone

Pete Rogers wrote:
This compressibility causes gravity to do the negative work of reducing volume and so increasing heat content per unit volume and therefore temperature- thus accounting for the ATE.

Gravity is not work. Gravity is not energy. You cannot create energy out of nothing. Static pressure does not increase temperature. There is no such thing as ATE. The temperature of the Earth is unknown.

Pete Rogers.

Gases are unique in being elastic which means they are compressed even by their own weight (autocompression). This property therefore increases the heat energy contained per unit volume. It is a flow continuum, not a one off left alone to cool - the heat sources are always on. It is a minor example of part of the Kelvin Helmholz effect whereby the enhancemnt is so extreme in the caseof large gas bodies reaching the millions of degrees at which Stars are created.The atmosphere is relatively small so the heating effect is limited - fortunately.

Correct

Wrong - the IPCC considers all potential sources of planetary heating and cooling, quantifies them and rules out most of them in playing a significant role in GW.

DRKTS wrote:

Misstated. It should read "The temperature of all gas bodies is increased when the body is in a state of BEING compressed" i.e., work is being done on it. Stop working and the heating stops and it cools down. Your bicycle tyres don't remain hot forever after you inflate them, yet they remain compressed.

DRKTS wrote:
[quote]4) The pressure at the base of the atmosphere is 1tonne per Sq Metre causing severe volume reduction.

Causing a volume reduction of what? The volume of the atmosphere at its base is constant unless the Earth is expanding or contracting. You meant say an increase in density, I assume.

PV=nRT you can change the pressure at constant T by adjusting the density/volume ratio. You have 4 variables P,V, n, and T, you can change any three of them without affecting the fourth.

5) In line with the conservation of energy that must be maintained, the heat energy per cubic metre of the compressed; and therefore less capacious: atmosphere is increased and it is this that explains the ATE. The GE is zero K.

This makes zero sense. Please explain more clearly

6) In accordance with the 2nd Law the ATE is transferred to the Surface leading to warming until increased IR emissions bring the system into equilibrium at a higher temperature.

The thermal capacity of the air is insufficient to heat anything. The air temperature is a reflection of the energy transferred from the surface (land or ocean) to the atmosphere, not the other way round.

7) Accordingly CO2 has nothing to do with Global Warming so neither do we.

Another break in the logic train here, in fact it was just derailed. (1) states that CO2 is interfering with the energy balance of the Earth's atmosphere by absorbing and scattering outgoing IR. IR is how the Earth sheds the Sun's heat absorbed in the oceans and land. Interrupt that cooling outflow and temperatures increases. This is HS physics.

Correct

2) IPCC Claim this leads to warming because the presence of our atmosphere increases the planetary temperature (the ATE) and they force it upon us through their reports that the GE is the only possible explanation for this ATE.

Wrong - the IPCC considers all potential sources of planetary heating and cooling, quantifies them and rules out most of them in playing a significant role in GW.

Pete Rogers

Hi DRKTS, thanks for including reasons, they are proving to be a rare commodity in this thread despite being indispensible to any scientific enquiry. I expect you to rebut my response here with reasons if you think it inadequate, which is exactly what you have done. According to IPCC the only significant cause of the alleged 33K ATE is the GE and I think we afgree on that don't we? The consistency with which IPCC conclude that there is no other realistic cause of the ATE than the GE means that your statement here does not falsify my point it seems to me. I look forward to your conclusion.

3) The temperature of all gas bodies is increased when the body is in a state of compression.

Misstated. It should read "The temperature of all gas bodies is increased when the body is in a state of BEING compressed" i.e., work is being done on it. Stop working and the heating stops and it cools down. Your bicycle tyres don't remain hot forever after you inflate them, yet they remain compressed.

Pete Rogers.

In talking about all gas bodies I confess I was meaning astronomical ones, so this is my mistake and you are correct accordingly in what you say about bike tyres etc.. The cooling of them is because they are not adiabatic, however, and therefore have surroundings to conduct their enhanced temperature into and being contained within tyre walls the gas conducts heat to them, and being composed of solids they not only conduct the heat onwards into the cooler surroundings, but also radiate it. The atmosphere and other astronomocal gas bodies are, however, adiabatic - meaning they have no material surroundings only vacuum - so they cannot transfer their heat like a bike tyre or pump. The only way they can dischasrge the heat is by conduction to the planet which then radiates IR. Unlike pumping a bike tyre the planetary warming effect is a flow continuum so we just experience the equilibrium arrived at as the IR warms the surface (to 255K allegedly) which transfers continually into the atmosphere where gravity continually forces it into the compressed medium of the Atmosphere at its base, the temperature enhancement thus acheived being transferred to the surface thus increasing the IR emission level thus acheiving the enhanced equilibrium temperature we enjoy. An illustrative - rather than fully scientific analogy would be a slow flowing river entering a narrows. The narrows concentrates the flow permanently speeding incoming water up in the same way gravity constricts the space that heat energy can occupy - permanently. Unless you can turn gravity down, or the river banks ping back after first being narrowed there will be no cooling - or reduction in flow speed in the latter case.

4) The pressure at the base of the atmosphere is 1tonne per Sq Metre causing severe volume reduction.

Causing a volume reduction of what? The volume of the atmosphere at its base is constant unless the Earth is expanding or contracting. You meant say an increase in density, I assume.

Pete Rogers.

It causes a reduction in the volume of each and every layer within the Troposphere, no matter how thick or thin. At the base of the Atmosphere you have this great pressure which means the gases are more condensed there than they would be if the pressure had been less. It means you have the heat energy increased for each and every unit volume, causing unavoidable temperature enhancement.

PV=nRT you can change the pressure at constant T by adjusting the density/volume ratio. You have 4 variables P,V, n, and T, you can change any three of them without affecting the fourth.

Pete Rogers.

We don't get to adjust anything, we have no power to do that. It is a natural result of confining the heat energy - which energy must be entirely conserved in line with the Laws of Thermodynamics - in a smaller volume thus increasing the temperature. The clincher for me is that if the atmosphere were at a lower pressure it would be bigger whilst being of unchanged mass so the heat energy contained therein would be the same meaning that there would be much less heat energy in every cubic metre of the troposphere because there would be so many more cubic metres to share it with, so Gravity warms the atmosphere which warms the planet.

5) In line with the conservation of energy that must be maintained, the heat energy per cubic metre of the compressed; and therefore less capacious: atmosphere is increased and it is this that explains the ATE. The GE is zero K.

This makes zero sense. Please explain more clearly

Pete Rogers.

Sure - sorry if I failed to clarify properly. Whether under low or high pressure the adiabatic gas body cannot change the amount of energy contained within it, so if the volume is reduced the same heat energy is divided amongst fewer cubic metres meaning that there is more of it in each so the temperature rises. This is what accounts for the ATE so the GE is of no thermal consequence.

6) In accordance with the 2nd Law the ATE is transferred to the Surface leading to warming until increased IR emissions bring the system into equilibrium at a higher temperature.

The thermal capacity of the air is insufficient to heat anything. The air temperature is a reflection of the energy transferred from the surface (land or ocean) to the atmosphere, not the other way round.

Pete Rogers.

That's not exactly the process if you will forgive me for so observing to that effect. What happens is the result of a continuum not of a step by step effect, but there are separate phases combined within that continuous process informing us of the underlying physics we are witnessing throughout. First solar radiation comes through the troposphere to whose gases it is invisible and on which it therefore has no thermal effect, some of the UV is reflected back out to space by clouds. Second, the UV strikes the solid/liquid planet with some being reflected back into space from Ice-caps and Snowfields etc.. The rest strikes the ground or water and heats it. The amount of heat-energy - the net insolation warms the planet, which conducts heat from the uncompressible surface to the atmosphere with which it is in contact, but whose state of compression concentrates the heat energy more than a lower pressure example would do. The temperature is thereby enhanced and the excess heat passed back to the surface in accordance with the 2nd Law. This enhances the planetary temperature which is brought into equilibrium by increased IR Emission.If you have further objections, or if my clarification is deficient as far as you are concerned, please let me know.

7) Accordingly CO2 has nothing to do with Global Warming so neither do we.

Another break in the logic train here, in fact it was just derailed. (1) states that CO2 is interfering with the energy balance of the Earth's atmosphere by absorbing and scattering outgoing IR. IR is how the Earth sheds the Sun's heat absorbed in the oceans and land. Interrupt that cooling outflow and temperatures increases. This is HS physics.

That is incorrect if you will permit me to explain. 1) says only that there are GG's that intercept a margin of IR. It does not say that the process
amounts to interference with the energy balance to any real extent. We discover; to the contrary: that this interference has no thermal consequence as the evidence for this - the ATE - is actually accounted for by gravity performing the negative work of reducing the volume of the atmosphere. The idea that there is sufficient interference to do anything to temperature is thus falsified. We might add; purely for academic interest: that IR is emitted at ambient temperature, so when it is reflected back it strikes the Earth cooler than it left. This is not a warming effect. Since some gases are opaque to IR, as we all agree, then those molecules receive heat, but being opaque, will release it as IR at a signature frequency. With the exception of the cooler reflected IR striking the surface, the rest disappears at the speed of light, with some of this frequency transformation u;pon impact with GG's. Please let me know if you disagree.

You cannot create energy out of nothing. You are still denying the 1st law of thermodynamics and the ideal gas law.

Steady soldier - consider all the facts before announcing your conclusion, or you may jump to the wrong one.

Additional Energy comes from the action of Gravity performing the negative work of volume reduction (autocompression) on the atmosphere. This process cannot be avoided because of the compressible nature of gases - and of all gases and of gases alone apart from a minor extent to liquids under enormous force. Accordingly autocompression has the unavoidable consequence of confining the heat energy (conserved within the gas body in accordance with the 1st law - not in contravention of it) within a severely reduced volume, so since - and I repeat - the amount of heat energy contained within the gas body cannot change (1st Law) what do you suppose happens to the temperature when there is this increase in heat content per unit volume of the now smaller medium containing it?

Please bear in mind that interstellar gas bodies have their volumes so reduced by their own autocompression that the temperature can shoot up to the millions or billions of degrees necessary for Star Formation - all in accordance with the 1st law - this is part of the Kelvin-Helmholz Effect. Neither is the Gas Law transgressed for that matter.

If you still think something is wrong or incomplete about this explanation, please let me know.

I dealt with the points that I took to be made in good faith, but there doesn't really seem to be any intent from this contributor to shed light on anything. The main commentary is in the form of allegation, which means the contributor is more like a kind of hostile witness, not an even-handed assessor it seems to me. Most of the points made were improperly explained and are therefore of no relevance to this enquiry thread.

That is incorrect if you will permit me to explain. 1) says only that there are GG's that intercept a margin of IR. It does not say that the process
amounts to interference with the energy balance to any real extent. We discover; to the contrary: that this interference has no thermal consequence as the evidence for this - the ATE - is actually accounted for by gravity performing the negative work of reducing the volume of the atmosphere. The idea that there is sufficient interference to do anything to temperature is thus falsified. We might add; purely for academic interest: that IR is emitted at ambient temperature, so when it is reflected back it strikes the Earth cooler than it left. This is not a warming effect. Since some gases are opaque to IR, as we all agree, then those molecules receive heat, but being opaque, will release it as IR at a signature frequency. With the exception of the cooler reflected IR striking the surface, the rest disappears at the speed of light, with some of this frequency transformation u;pon impact with GG's. Please let me know if you disagree.

You cannot create energy out of nothing. You are still denying the 1st law of thermodynamics and the ideal gas law.

Steady soldier - consider all the facts before announcing your conclusion, or you may jump to the wrong one.

Not facts. Fallacious arguments.

Pete Rogers replied 18/8:

That is an opinion but no support is offered for it so it is empty of meaning and therefore of no value to our enquiry.

Pete Rogers wrote:
Additional Energy comes from the action of Gravity performing the negative work of volume reduction (autocompression) on the atmosphere.

Gravity is not energy. You cannot create energy out of nothing. You are violating the 1st law of thermodynamics again.

Pete Rogers Replied 18/8:

The act of compression increases energy per unit volume by removing a large number of volume units leaving far fewer of them for the unchanged energy to occupy. If that is beyond your comprehension it is no wonder you can't contribute words of meaning but of sound only. The correct understanding is that the negative work done by the force of gravity in compressing the atmosphere creates temperature enhancement thereby providing the additional energy. Here is a historic definition from the Laws of Fluid Dynamics which have never been successfully challenged so far.

"Gravitational compression is a phenomenon in which gravity, acting on the mass of a gas body compresses it, reducing its size and increasing the density. Accordingly the force of gravity heats the gas body by the Kelvin–Helmholtz mechanism."

If you can prove this to be wrong you are indeed a genius because all the other great minds aside from yours have failed to do so in the last 150 years. A Nobel Prize for Physics awaits your learned Paper on this subject assuming you are not the gullible twerp perhaps you just pretend to be, so why don't you share your special knowledge with we mere mortals?

Pete Rogers wrote:
This process cannot be avoided because of the compressible nature of gases - and of all gases and of gases alone apart from a minor extent to liquids under enormous force. Accordingly autocompression has the unavoidable consequence of confining the heat energy (conserved within the gas body in accordance with the 1st law - not in contravention of it) within a severely reduced volume, so since - and I repeat - the amount of heat energy contained within the gas body cannot change (1st Law) what do you suppose happens to the temperature when there is this increase in heat content per unit volume of the now smaller medium containing it?

Static pressure does not heat gases. You are ignoring the 1st law of thermodynamics and the ideal gas law again.

Pete Rogers replied 18/8:

So the Kelvin Helmholz effect is untrue is it? My previous answer deals with this baloney.

Pete Rogers wrote:
Please bear in mind that interstellar gas bodies have their volumes so reduced by their own autocompression that the temperature can shoot up to the millions or billions of degrees necessary for Star Formation - all in accordance with the 1st law - this is part of the Kelvin-Helmholz Effect. Neither is the Gas Law transgressed for that matter.

Nope. There is open space between the Sun and the Earth. You cannot heat the Earth by conduction or convection from the Sun.

If you still think something is wrong or incomplete about this explanation, please let me know.

No argument presented. Argument by repetition. Denial of science. RQAA.

No. An argument is indubitably presented and fully explained, I just noticed it in all the words sent to you for just that purpose. The only reason it had to be repeated is that you said it wasn't an argument, so I thought you needed to read it again for the penny to drop that it was indeed, after all, precisely what an argument is.
You seem to be saying that Kelvin Helmholz is Denial of science, so either they have made fools of everyone apart from you for the last 150 years or you are talking out of the wrong end of your alimentary canal. I wonder if we should open a book on which it is? I can hardly wait until your Nobel paper is accepted, but until then it is difficult to see how you can assist in illuminating this thread, but thanks for all your efforts assuming they were meant to help.

WRONG. An argument must be free of fallacy or it is an invalid argument. An argument is a set of predicates and a conclusion. A theory is an explanatory argument. The existence of a theory does not make it a theory of science. A theory of science must also be falsifiable.

I am not here to help you. I am here to expose you for what you are. You are a religious nut believing in the Church of Global Warming. You are a fundamentalist. You are a liar. You are a denier of science, mathematics, and now logic. You cut and paste the arguments of others as your own, stealing arguments, even invalid ones. Your native tongue is Liberal, not English. Your religion is based on lies, falsehoods, and buzzwords.

That is what you are. I cannot help you, but I can expose you for what you are.

It's the same with precautions regarding covid. Even though a person might have a preexisting condition they could have lived many years or decades with it but then covid comes along and that person can't survive both conditions.
Taking precautions against covid, such as lockdown, prevents many deaths.

As already pointed out - and why should I have needed to - the Kelvin Helmholz effect is science, not people, and science that has never been overthrown, so what is your point? If you think you can overthrow it please do so - there is almost certanly a Nobel Prize for Physics to be had by anyone who can.

What a noble sentiment, I applaud it! Yes forget prizes, just tell us how you have falsified the Kelvin Helmholz effect; beloved of Physicists for its reliability to this day: you would be the only person who ever had, so the prospect is so exciting that I am on the edge of my seat with anticipation.

Pete Rogers replied 19/8/20:[quote]In order to expose something or someone you have to deal with the nuts and bolts of the particulars involved in the idea you oppose in a proper manner, this requirement is completely missed in your case, you just jump to your conclusion without a properly explanatory path to lead there, just making statements of denial as if that will do. You also have to deal with the rebuttals and those steps are missing everywhere too.

You must be capable of looking at things objectively in order to be of any use - including to yourself.
To my astonishment you haven't even picked it up that I am an absolute opponent of the theory of Global warming - where have you been and what have you been reading?

To be pre-decided - as you have now shown yourself to be - is precisely the religious position whereby you know the answer as a matter of predetermination and simply accuse the other of falsehood without correct evaluation of what he puts to you.
You descend to playground accusations such as calling the opponent a liar without revealing the grounds for doing so and that is a truly lamentable thing about your mentality.
For my own part I am, however, in the fortunate position of being able to reveal that you are an evident liar for saying that I have in any way, shape, or form written or thought for a moment that we are responsible for Global Warming as - lying in your teeth - you say to the contrary "You are a religious nut believing in the Church of Global Warming." Shame on you for your dishonesty or is it that you cannot comprehend what you read, if so I take it all back - it just means you are an ignoramus?
