Maybe we should rely on science instead.

Think about glucose. This is edible by humans and animals alike. Its chemical formula is C6H12O6.

Carbon dioxide and methane are the most common greenhouse gasses.

CO2
and
CH4.

If you add them up, you get C2H4O2.

Now, if you multiply that by 3, you get C6H12O6. Look familiar?

And therefore, 3 CO2 + 3 CH4 + Energy = C6H12O6.

1,275 views and this is the first reply. Absolutely inconceivable that such stuff as the opening post is ignored.

1. THE most abundant greenhouse gas is water vapor. Its concentration is ~15,000 ppmv.
2. Water vapor absorbs infrared radiation far better than CO2 does.
3. One cannot "add" formulas and get a new compound. That is childishness.

Oh, so true RM, but aren't all of mankind childish? After all, that's how we got into this mess in the first place.

As for you LD, you keep right on calculating. Remember, in every lie there's a little bit of truth, and in every truth there's a little lie. I'm not quite sure what that has to do with anything, but you're obviously very smart and I'm sure you will figure it out.

There is no such thing as a 'greenhouse gas'. No gas or vapor has the capability to warm the Earth. You cannot create energy out of nothing. See the 1st law of thermodynamics:
E(t+1) = E(t) - U where 'E' is energy, 't' is time, and 'U' is work.

2. Water vapor absorbs infrared radiation far better than CO2 does.

Water absorbs more frequencies too. That does not warm the Earth.

The surface has to emit infrared light, dude. Doing that takes energy. That cools the surface.

It is just the warmer surface heating the colder atmosphere by something other than conductive heating. It is radiant heating. Big hairy deal.

The Antarctic ice cores prove that global warming occurs regularly - and much hotter than today - despite CO2 levels never exceeding 280ppm. SO the dogma of GHGs being a 'major cause' of CC is bogus, put about to get money from richer countries and damage their economies.

Why do you believe this? Are you simply regurgitating WACKY things that you were ordered to believe?

Ice cores do not provide any information beyond, perhaps, how much precipitation occurred over a given year at a particular spot.

Nielsenbr56 wrote:- and much hotter than today - despite CO2 levels never exceeding 280ppm.

Why do you claim to know atmospheric CO2 levels of the distant, unobserved past when you don't even know what they are today?

Nielsenbr56 wrote: SO the dogma of GHGs being a 'major cause' of CC is bogus,

I'm inclined to agree; I find the entire religion to be bogus. Nonetheless, you still must unambiguously define "GHGs" and "CC."

Belief is just opinion - when you think you know something without evidence. FAct is backed by actual tested theory through measurement. The Antarctic Ice Cores measure air trapped in the Antarctic Ice (look it up) deep in the Southern Ice Cap. Each year of compacted ice appears like rings on a tree and the analysis of the trapped atmosphere provides direct measurement of all components of the air at that time, including IR absorbers (GHGs). I'm not sure why you think we can't measure CO2 levels in the air today, as well as other gases, it's pretty straightforward.

No a fact is NOT what people agree on. Just because people agree an old man lives in the sky called god, or that they live on after dying, does not a fact make. A fact in SCIENCE is a theory established as accurate through measurement - and, yes, that 'truth' changes with new measurements, moving us from Newtonian to Quantum Mechanics and will change again, but those are refinements towards establishing a truth independent of opinion (belief). What is pretty stupid is your non-sequitur that because all substances absorb IR are therefore gases. You asked for a SPECIFIC fact that identifies what GHGs are - and that is, GHGs absorb IR - so - obviously to most intelligent people, we are talking about atmospheric gases and vapour, since they are relevant to the question. I just forgot you're a troll. I can only presume you also have difficulty using a book to read how to measure gas composition in the air?

A fact is what people agree on. I gave you the court case example. Perhaps you are too stupid to learn.

If you and I were to agree that Corn Flakes is the best creation mankind has ever made, then it is a fact in our discussion. However, the moment GasGuzzler joins our discussion and claims that Fruit Loops is clearly the best creation mankind has ever made, then all of our positions become our claims and our rationales become our arguments. Intellectual cowards who cannot support their positions but who nonetheless need their positions to be accepted as "facts" try to create breakout rooms in which they ban anyone who does not also agree to their positions.

Nielsenbr56 wrote: Just because people agree an old man lives in the sky called god, or that they live on after dying, does not a fact make.

Yes. That is what makes it a fact. Whenever Into the Night and gfm7175 engage in a discussion, that supposition is very much a fact. However, the moment you join such a discussion, that supposition ceases to be a fact, and becomes a claim.

Nielsenbr56 wrote: A fact in SCIENCE is a theory established as accurate through measurement

This is gibber-babble nonsense. You clearly do not know what science is.

All of science is a fact because everybody agrees to all of it ... by virtue of nobody showing any of it to be false. All of science has passed the scrutiny of the scientific method and nobody has, as of yet, shown any of it to be false. If anyone does show any science to be false, it is discarded

Nielsenbr56 wrote:- and, yes, that 'truth' changes with new measurements, moving us from Newtonian to Quantum Mechanics and will change again, but those are refinements towards establishing a truth independent of opinion (belief).

There is so much wrong with this statement above that I will have to unpack it.

1. If the new measurements differ from the old measurements, then someone screwed up on the measurements somewhere.
2. No, we have not abandoned classical physics.
3. Science does not establish truth and it never confirms anything as "true." Yes, we presume science is true, but with the understanding that we could be mistaken and that tomorrow it could be shown to be false.
4. You are trying to get your speculations relabelled as "fact" and not your mere opinion.

Nielsenbr56 wrote:What is pretty stupid is your non-sequitur that because all substances absorb IR are therefore gases.

That is your position. You defined greenhouse gases as IR-absorbing substances. That was not my definition; it was yours. I will remind you that all substances absorb IR. This means that your position is that all substances are greenhouse gas. I will again remind you that this is a stupid position for you to have.

I will presume that you are not very good at formal logic.

Nielsenbr56 wrote: You asked for a SPECIFIC fact that identifies what GHGs are

Nope. That doesn't make any sense and is nothing I would ever request.

Nielsenbr56 wrote: - and that is, GHGs absorb IR

All substances absorb IR, therefore by your definition all substances are GHGs. You really aren't following your own logic, are you?

Nielsenbr56 wrote: I just forgot you're a troll.

I just forgot, you are a scientifically illiterate intellectual coward who cannot support his stupid positions so he needs a safe space in which to post so that I can't pop his delicate delusion bubbles with my science and/or differing positions.

I can only presume that you are now realizing that what you wrote previously was terribly stupid, that you are embarrassed, that you realize you will never be accepted as any sort of expert in this forum, and that you must now dedicate your efforts to portraying your stupid claim of knowing earth's quantity of atmospheric CO2 as somehow being my fault.

Ice cores do not measure temperature. They do not measure global atmospheric CO2 concentration. It is not possible to measure the temperature of the Earth or the global atmospheric CO2 concentration.

An theory is an explanatory argument. An argument is a set of predicates and a conclusion. ALL arguments are opinions. A theory of science is falsifiable, that is, you can conduct a test of the theory itself to try to break it.

No theory can be proven True.

That was a beautiful pivot! The topic is Earth's total quantity of atmospheric CO2, not how a gas can be measured. Why should any rational adult believe that you somehow know the quantity of Earth's atmospheric CO2?

Nielsenbr56 wrote: Break out rooms are not to have people who only agree with your comments,

Yes, your type of breakout rooms are.

Censorship by any other name is censorship, and the other name you have selected is "breakout rooms." Censorship never adds value.

Intellectual cowardice by any other name is intellectual cowardice, and the other name you have selected is "breakout rooms." Science is discussed periodically in the main forum, but you can't contribute because you are scientifically illiterate and mathematically incompetent. You become compelled to flee, but you have nowhere to go. You want a refuge, a safe-space, a protected bubble into which you can escape and barricade the doors. You need a panic room in which you can decide what you want science to be, and you can ban all those who pose a risk of exposing your cognitive slapstick comedy.

Nielsenbr56 wrote: it is to debate your positions in a common sense manner

Nope. Your type of breakout rooms serve to censor/ban expressions that you find threatening and to exclude "trolls", i.e. people who disagree with you politically in some way.

Nielsenbr56 wrote: something you, as a troll, fail to do.

You have never discussed any science with me, because you aren't capable of doing so. In any event, you have no way of knowing how I discuss science because you panic and flee at the mere sight of the topic.

Buzzword fallacies. You are still trying to deny the 1st and 2nd laws of thermodynamics and now the Stefan-Boltzmann law.

You cannot trap light.
You cannot trap heat.
You cannot trap thermal energy. There is always heat.
You cannot create energy out of nothing.

Carbon dioxide is roughly 414 parts per million.
Methane is approximately 1.8 parts per million.
Water vapor is about 15,000 parts per million.

If you want to synthesize glucose, you should present a mechanism showing how you would do it, precisely.

This is from scied.ucar.edu:

"Not all gas molecules are able to absorb IR radiation. For example, nitrogen (N2) and oxygen (O2), which make up more than 90% of Earth's atmosphere, do not absorb infrared photons."

We have long been able to measure the composition of gas mixtures. The volume and densities of our atmosphere by altitude are well known and from these factors we can calculate atmospheric content of every gas. For example methane is only 1.8 parts per million of the atmosphere and yet politicians are going bonkers over methane as if it were hydrogen cyanide. Moreover its IR spectrum is trivial, particularly given its trivial concentration.

They measure a great deal. Stop talking smack.

It is not possible to measure the global gas mixture. CO2 concentration varies from location to location and so do other gasses (not at the same location). It is only possible to measure gas mixtures in controlled settings.

As far as infrared absorption is concerned, that is not the issue (most any substance will absorb infrared light, converting that to thermal energy).

Using a cooler gas to heat a warmer surface, however, is NOT possible. You cannot heat a warmer object with a cooler one. That violates the 2nd law of thermodynamics.

No gas or vapor has the capability to warm the Earth. You cannot create energy out of nothing. That violates the 1st law of thermodynamics.

You cannot trap light or thermal energy either. That violates the Stefan-Boltzmann law.

"Stefan-Boltzmann law, statement that the total radiant heat power emitted from a surface is proportional to the fourth power of its absolute temperature. Formulated in 1879..."

The Stefan Law says nothing about trapping light or energy, only the radiant power emitted from a surface.

You quoted the wrong person.

You cannot just keep thermal energy in the Earth. It MUST radiate that energy away in accordance with the Stefan-Boltzmann law. It is the Church of Global Warming that ignores this.

Not quite. The Stefan-Boltzmann law states that the RADIANCE is proportional to the absolute temperature to the fourth power. RADIANCE is light (electromagnetic radiation). Nothing can prevent an object from radiating per the Stefan-Boltzmann law.

RADIANCE = Power / Surface Area

The subject was "facts" and you should learn what they are.

You should definitely learn what facts are. Facts are not always forthwith agreed.

Researchers do research. Hello! Scientists work with science. Research is not science.

Sorry, all substances absorb IR. Which ones do you mistakenly believe do not?

Too funny! Instead of calling boooolsch't, you simply regurgitated it because you read it on the internet.

If you were to place a nitrogen/oxygen cloud within close proximity to the sun, would its temperature increase drastically or would its temperature fall to absolute zero? Your current position is the latter, and it's a stupid position.

Incorrect. They are not well known, which is why they are not known.

You were supposed to be explaining how you would go about measuring/calculating earth's atmospheric CO2 content. Please do that.

No gas is evenly distributed throughout the atmosphere. Nobody knows the atmosphere's methane content.

Electromagnetic radiation has no "concentration."
