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 duncan61 |

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. |

Is the CO2 theory not based on energy that should escape being radiated back. |

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? |

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. |

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. |

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? Edited on 05-07-2021 23:50 |

Check the ocean temperature the next time you go to the beach. Xadoman wrote:Would insulating the earth slow down the cooling of the molten core or it would not matter? 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. |

And yet a rock can be heated by the Sun. This is getting into black body radiation. 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. Edited on 05-07-2021 23:55 |

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.
