I was just getting cleaned up after changing out my Jeep Shock Absorbers and it occurred to me as This morning I switched out a natural gas 135 litre Vulcan unit.The units have insulation around the tank to slow down the cooling process and it also takes less energy to get the water to the temperature set by the controller.This explains the CO2 insulating effect and why extra energy is not needed to raise the temperature.I will finish with 280ppm-400ppm does not give 2.C more like 0.00014.C I am guessing as we can not measure it.Tear me a new one but CO2 does something

Slight problem with your theory.

CO2 is a conductor, not an insulator. Just another pathway for heat to flow from the surface to the atmosphere.


Radiation will not penetrate a perfect insulator, thus as I said space is not a perfect insulator.- Swan

There is more than a slight problem.

Duncan is discussing insulation ... for earth ... which is surrounded by a vacuum. Insulation doesn't apply. Insulation pertains to heat via conduction (and thus convection as well). There is no conduction (and thus no convection) in a vacuum. Atmospheric CO2 has no insulating effect on conduction that is not occurring because of the vacuum surrounding earth. CO2 cannot thwart any of earth's thermal energy escaping into space via conduction (or convection) because there isn't any.

Insulation doesn't apply. Who knows what Duncan was thinking?

GasGuzzler wrote:CO2 is a conductor, not an insulator.

Correct. CO2 is such a good conductor for thermal energy that it is used as a commercial refrigerant in industrial CO2 refrigeration units.

Nope. Consider a new one torn because CO2 does nothing to alter earth's average planetary temperature. Temperature can only increase by adding energy. If there is no additional energy then temperature cannot increase.

Let me know when you can cook food by spraying it with enough CO2.

Duncan, if you take a warm rock that has been sitting in the sun and you wrap it in a blanket, when does the rock's temperature increase?

So what you're saying IBDM is that CO2 is good at capturing heat? And that the tropopause is like an insulating blanket? After all, it is as cold as -56º C. which shows it does not let much heat out. So what you're saying is that both a blanket and a "vacuum" seal (lack of molecules that allow the transfer of heat or cold) in a thermos, right? I think I get it now, CO2 is causing global warming because CO2 absorbs heat and the tropopause doesn't allow it to radiate back out to space as quickly. You sure are smart IBDM.

Electromagnetic energy is "absorbed." Thermal energy flows and is transferred from one body of matter to another.

Didn't you just post that CO2 is used as an industrial coolant? That pretty much says it absorbs heat. Just did a quick read, when it goes from liquid to gas, it releases heat. This means that as CO2 is pressurized to become liquid, it absorbs heat.
And now you've just changed the debate from "what can CO2 do?" to if it moves to a lower quantum state it can convert heat energy into heat content. You just showed a way that CO2 can transport heat from the upper troposphere to the lower troposphere. And if you check, I don't think that anyone has ever considered this possibility until you brought it into play.
I wonder if this explains why along with ozone depletion the ozone layer is cooling. But you're not well read on what the debate entails.

You should be asking yourself why you are confusing the earth with something (e.g. human body) that is its own heat source.

You should be asking yourself why you weren't capable of immediately recognizing the huge difference between the two cases.

You should have been more careful in selecting your source for quick reading. Heat cannot be "released" because heat can never be trapped/contained in the first place. Learn what heat is.

When CO2 expands its temperature decreases causing external thermal energy to flow into it.

James___ wrote: This means that as CO2 is pressurized to become liquid, it absorbs heat.

Incorrect. Heat cannot be absorbed. Learn what heat is.

When CO2 is pressurized, its temperature increases and thermal energy flows out of it into surrounding matter.

I can assure you that I did no such thing ... however you clearly just did.

With the Earth's core, heat is a byproduct of gravity compressing matter. Gravity would need to be slowed.

p.s., always possible someone will figure out how to do that.

Heat is a flow of energy such as in E = hf. With photosynthesis, it is often stated as CO2 + H2O + h > CH2O and O2. This demonstrates that when "heat" is absorbed that it becomes "heat content". Still, you have your word games, right? You should try moving past definitions to learning something about science. Who knows, you might find things to be more interesting.

Initally, the heat came from the energy of the material as it condensed to form the Earth. Additional heat is added by the radioactive elements as already mentioned. As the Surface of the Earth cooled, and the Crust formed, the molten interior was surrounded by a natural insulator. This insulation, in the form of solid rock, traps the heat inside pretty effectively. The gas giants don't have a solid surface, and as such, can lose heat faster.

I copied it from the physics forum. This explanation about solid surface acting as an insulator and trapping heat seems fishy to me.

And yet a rock can be heated by the Sun. This is getting into black body radiation. Just checked and a basic number is that temperature increases about 25º C. for every km of depth. That's from the surface going down.
I'd say that's what's to be expected with gravity. It's potential increases at depth because of the mass of the Earth.

p.s., if you consider the torus around a cold fusion reactor, it's hot inside the toroidal field. The heat is contained. How to know when a natural process like the Earth does the same thing?

If the earth's crust were stripped away and the earth's mantle exposed, yes, the earth would radiate much more thermal radiation out to space ... and a new crust would eventually form.

The earth's core (likely) generates heat by converting chemical energy to thermal energy via nuclear reaction. However, I have not witnessed this myself and can neither confirm nor deny that this is the case. Presuming this to be the case, however, the earth's core will continue to create heat as long as there is nuclear fuel to do so.

If, on the other hand, you were to wrap the earth in a blanket, the "cooling" would become that of the blanket. The blanket would be the earth's new surface.

It is said that in space all the bodies lose heat only via radiation. So does adding insulation to earth help to retain heat in molten core or not? Lets say we insulate the earth with rigid foam all over the earth. Would it take longer for the molten core to lose heat in this case or would it be the same as without insulation? If it indeed prolongs the cooling of the molten core then we could say that adding insulation in fact acts as reducing radiation ergo reducing emissivity.

And yet heat is once again E = hv while E is 1/2mv^2. One is a wave (ie., a radio wave or a microwave is wave energy) while the other is matter such as an element or a molecule in motion.

Just can't accept it when you're wrong, can you? A "flow" of energy will have a wavelength. With plasma energy, highly ionized particles. But as you said;
for computing

Okay, you know your way around a computer. With a flow of energy, that is caused by a source emitting that energy. It will be in wave form. There are different types of emissions.
The Sun has solar radiation which consists mostly of particles. Why it's called the solar wind. With matter or atmospheric gasses, electromagnetic radiation is emitted.
And since this is a climate debate forum, solar radiation and collision between gaseous molecules (KE = 3/2 kRT for example) applies.
Refracted solar radiation off of a lunar surface like the Moon is determined by the type of matter on its surface. This is why I am completely lost that you can't grasp a principle as basic as;
E = MC^2 = 1/2mv^2 = hv.

In terms of temperature, nothing. Absolutely nothing. CO2 is not even a good thermal insulator either. It conducts thermal energy better than any other common gas.

The Earth has a molten core due to nuclear fission.

The Earth is in space. Space will not allow conductive or convective heating. It only allows radiant heating.

The thermal energy that results from absorbing sunlight, along with any the results from nuclear fission at the core, is ALL converted to light and radiated away into space.

With the Earth's core, heat is a byproduct of gravity compressing matter. Gravity would need to be slowed.

p.s., always possible someone will figure out how to do that.

Gravity has no speed.

Heat cannot be absorbed. Learn what heat is.



Heat is a flow of energy such as in E = hf. With photosynthesis, it is often stated as CO2 + H2O + h > CH2O and O2. This demonstrates that when "heat" is absorbed that it becomes "heat content". Still, you have your word games, right? You should try moving past definitions to learning something about science. Who knows, you might find things to be more interesting.


Heat is not a flow of energy. Heat is a flow of [i]thermal]/i] energy only.
It is not possible to trap heat.

Initally, the heat came from the energy of the material as it condensed to form the Earth. Additional heat is added by the radioactive elements as already mentioned. As the Surface of the Earth cooled, and the Crust formed, the molten interior was surrounded by a natural insulator. This insulation, in the form of solid rock, traps the heat inside pretty effectively. The gas giants don't have a solid surface, and as such, can lose heat faster.

I copied it from the physics forum. This explanation about solid surface acting as an insulator and trapping heat seems fishy to me.

It is not possible to trap heat.

Heat cannot be absorbed. The flow cannot be absorbed. The energy is what is absorbed, not the flow, not the heat.




And yet heat is once again E = hv while E is 1/2mv^2. One is a wave (ie., a radio wave or a microwave is wave energy) while the other is matter such as an element or a molecule in motion.
Just for you IBDM;
1/2mv^2 = hv. The basic relationship between energy and heat.


Heat is not energy.
