I can't let go of my belief that there are other very significant factors that influence global weather. However all I want to understand is the effect of CO2 on temperature. I want to remain open minded but am wary of being mislead. To understand CO2's influence in our atmosphere, scientists and engineers would need to let the sun shine through 1 cubic meter of atmospheric gases. At the bottom would be a solar panel. If the levels of CO2 and O2 are changed, then empirical scientific evidence would exist. No scientists or engineers have done real time research to determine the "k" value (w/m^2) of the gases in our atmosphere. This is as those gases are found in our atmosphere. That would create a baseline. Then other cubes could have varying levels of CO2, O2 and water vapor. Until this is done, we have models which use different logarithms without using any real data sets. With CO2, it is causing our oceans to become acidic. That's something else that needs to be considered. And since real time evaluation has yet to be done, there is a debate. I hope this helps. As for the solar panels, their efficiency can be verified so how much solar radiation that they reflect would be known. Edited on 06-10-2019 18:56

spot ★★★★☆ (1323)	What is about climatology that makes people with nothing approaching a clue think they are experts on the subject? The properties of the various gasses are known, known so well that we can look for evidence of them in the atmospheres of planets orbiting stars light-years away. What do you expect to learn 'debating' random people on the internet that you could not learn from a good book? IBdaMann wrote: "Air" is not a body in and of itself. Ergo it is not a blackbody. Planck's law describes the spectral density of electromagnetic radiation emitted by a black body in thermal equilibrium at a given temperature T.

What do you expect to learn 'debating' random people on the internet that you could not learn from a good book? Different perspectives. With gases on other planets, gases emit different patterns of light (refraction). With the experiment that I mentioned, if solar radiation slows when levels of certain gases are increased, then warming should be observed unless that heat is conserved as heat content. Things we should know but don't.

Science is never settled. It's always changing, always moving. New theories are constantly though up by people, and theories are constantly being falsified. No theory is ever proven True. Any theory of science can be falsified at any time, even the theories of thermodynamics. Harry C wrote: I can't let go of my belief that there are other very significant factors that influence global weather. There is actually no such thing as 'global weather'.

Since CO2 is not a source of energy, it does not add additional energy to Earth. Only the Sun provides Earth's energy. Using CO2 to raise the temperature violates the 1st law of thermodynamics (and the conservation of energy law). 1st law of thermodynamics: U(t+1) = U(t) - W where U is energy, t is time, and W is work. Since CO2 is generally colder than the surface of the Earth, it cannot warm that surface. The 2nd law of thermodynamics clearly states the direction of heat. For heat to flow from cold to hot means a reduction of entropy, in violation of the 2nd law of thermodynamics. 2nd law of thermodynamics: e(t+1) >= e(t) where e is entropy and t is time. Entropy just always increase or stay the same in any system. It can never decrease in any system. Since temperature is proportional to radiance, which means radiance MUST increase with temperature, trapping infrared light necessarily reduces radiance while using that light to warm the Earth is in violation of the Stefan-Boltzmann law. Stefan-Boltzmann law: r = C * e * t^4 where r is radiance in watts per square meter, C is a constant of nature (5.76 * 10^-8), e is emissivity, expressed as a percentage, of the ability of a surface to emit, and t is temperature in deg K. C is a constant of nature. e is a measured constant. r is proportional to T, NEVER inversely proportional. If temperature goes up, radiance MUST go up with it, not down. If radiance goes down, temperature MUST go down with it. Heat is simply the flow of thermal energy. It is not the thermal energy itself. It is like a current in a river. It is not the water itself. It cannot be slowed or trapped. Only increased or decreased. Standing water has zero current. Thermal equilibrium has zero heat.

I don't think you mean the simple truth that neither energy nor mass can be created or destroyed. If you mean how is it that a planet can get hotter at ground level when the sun isn't sending any more energy than it used to? Does this mean energy is being created? No not at all. "temperature" is not a measure of the amount of thermal energy coming and going, it is a measure of the amount of thermal energy present. An atmosphere acts as a maze of tiny bodies that radiance and thermal energy must ping pong through on their way in and out and it results in more thermal energy being present. Every planet has a higher ground level temperature than it should (given it's distance from the sun) corresponding to how much of an atmosphere it has. The easiest proof being Venus vs. Mercury: venus-is-hotter-than-mercury What do ITN/IBD say about that? You can probably guess: Nothing. They claim: IBdaMann wrote: tmiddles wrote: I trust that the measurements taken by the Russians through the atmosphere down to the surface of Venus are accurate. ...you have no valid dataset from which to draw any conclusions... So guess what? No debate on Venus/Mercury at all.... Debate killers Harry C wrote: I've read the the thread on calamity math. You guys are over my head on some of that minutae. So not my work at all! I'm trying to understand it too. That's what SEEMED to be the "popular" theory on how the Earth's temperature plays out. I'm not a scientist but I think the general concepts seem accessible. Tell me what you think of the person in a room text book example: net-thermal-radiation-you-in-a-room-as-a-reference Harry C wrote:...what is attributed to Popper is not exactly the same but substantially true. To wit: ...theories that are permanently immunized from falsification by the introduction of untestable ad hoc hypotheses can no longer be classified as scientific... So that full quote describes what a "Scientific Theory" is and is not, it is not the definition of "Science". This portion is key. NOTHING get's to be called established in some fashion where it is above questioning. Not only have entirely fabricated theories been presented here as being "settled science" they've been claimed as being above the need for any proof or demonstration. I also don't think it makes sense to call Popper an economist simply because that was his degree in college. He was a scientist. And don't forget him, especially here. "Good tests kill flawed theories; we remain alive to guess again." - Karl Popper ITN/IBD Fraud exposed: The 2nd LTD add on claiming radiance from cooler bodies can't be absorbed Max Planck debunks, they can't explain:net-thermal-radiation-you-in-a-room-as-a-reference & Proof: no data is ever valid for them As to the clarification on energy mass balance. There are points that must be universally true. One of those is what I will call energy equilibrium. What comes in either goes out or is used (again lay terms). With all due respect. What I know about what I seek is that it will be based upon direct impact to accepted truths. I came here to find a pivot point in the science - where generally accepted science and climate models diverge. What I'm worn out on is anecdotal or correlative evidence. I really don't want to go there because the truth set becomes unnecessarily diluted. I'm already weak scientifically and don't want to seize upon something that requires me to understand the change in some unknown dependent variables to achieve the outcome. All of the anecdotal and correlative data I see as "noise" and I don't mean to be rude or unnecessarily dismissive. What I see in the noise are possible attempts to distort or otherwise alter the truth set. (My apologies to those who object to my word choice of truth.) This is important. Since I have been here I have become increasingly uneasy with Climate Science and the audacity of people to think they know enough about it to consider the science of that flimsy model "settled". I can't let go of my belief that there are other very significant factors that influence global weather. However all I want to understand is the effect of CO2 on temperature. I want to remain open minded but am wary of being mislead. To understand CO2's influence in our atmosphere, scientists and engineers would need to let the sun shine through 1 cubic meter of atmospheric gases. At the bottom would be a solar panel. Measuring what? Void argument. James___ wrote: If the levels of CO2 and O2 are changed, then empirical scientific evidence would exist. No scientists or engineers have done real time research to determine the "k" value (w/m^2) of the gases in our atmosphere. This is as those gases are found in our atmosphere. Buzzword fallacy. James___ wrote: That would create a baseline. Of what? Void argument fallacy. James___ wrote: Then other cubes could have varying levels of CO2, O2 and water vapor. Until this is done, we have models which use different logarithms without using any real data sets. Void argument fallacy. You have not declared a model or what you are measuring, or how any of what you are measuring has to do with temperature. James___ wrote: With CO2, it is causing our oceans to become acidic. That's something else that needs to be considered. Ocean water is alkaline, not acid. James___ wrote: And since real time evaluation has yet to be done, there is a debate. I hope this helps.

With gases on other planets, gases emit different patterns of light (refraction).

Things we should know but don't. The same gasses in different places are different? interesting What makes you think nobody has done an experiment of that nature. Do you know about John Tyndall?

Harry C wrote:....on energy mass balance... What comes in either goes out or is used (again lay terms). OK got you. For Thermal Energy this is sometimes call the "Heat Budget" (I personally find financial analogies to be very helpful). So in my post (not my work) : co2-calamity-math you see that 100 units is used and you have 100 units coming in and 100 going out. A balanced equation is a fixture of chemistry, finance, you name it. It's just so you know you're not missing something in your (in this case) hypothesis. Harry C wrote: I came here to find a pivot point in the science - where generally accepted science and climate models diverge. What I'm worn out on is anecdotal or correlative evidence. Too bad man that's life. The temperature of a part of a planet (ground level to 2 meters above in our case) is influenced by a lot of stuff. As far as I can tell we aren't able to "easily" break it all down. This is true of most stuff. One day we may have a much better handle on it but we don't today. If you talked to a doctor 200 years ago who was really sure that "germs" caused illness they'd have a tough time satisfying your same desire for certainty but they were still right. Finding the the truth can be a challenge. Detecting BS is often much easier. Part of the process here for me is to clear away the debris and look at what we have so far. For the me the sum up is: This is a very complex issue scientifically and the proposed plans of action are extremely inconvenient and expensive. The stakes if there is a problem, which is certainly plausible at this point, are even more expensive. So here we are. Harry C wrote: What I see in the noise are possible attempts to distort or otherwise alter the truth set. Truth set? Hmmm. Don't have one of those. We know people have bias and are pushing an agenda on both sides. Personally I find all of the temperature data to be unconvincing. It is admittedly influenced by a number of factors with CO2 being a minor player even in research focused on it. I found Dr. Pat Frank to be pretty convincing on our not having the measurement accuracy to talk about 1 degree: Dr. Pat Frank. Sadly Verner and I are the only skeptics on the board so this was never even discussed (verner not being around till recently). I do believe the CO2 ppm data is accurate and that we've had a steep increase and that, looking back just 100 years and then forward 500 years, it seems likely we would continue to increase it even more dramatically. So it needs to be taken seriously. Harry C wrote:the audacity of people to think they know enough about it to consider the science of that flimsy model "settled". I agree completely. It is FAR from settled but even if it were close we should be just as aggressive about questioning it. The stakes are extremely high. Also the prognosis for a rational and fact based public policy are pretty low if you look at similar issues like nuclear power and genetically engineered food. I really do believe that getting not only at the fact but at a way of being able to understand and explain them is worthwhile for us regular folks.

This is a lie invented by these clowns and you won't find it supported anywhere: IBdaMann wrote:1) photons of the lower temperature object are not absorbed by the higher temperature object This little nugget of PURE BS was invented to try to claim that a greenhouse effect is impossible. It's dishonest, lame and weird. Into the Night wrote: Only the Sun provides Earth's energy. Using CO2 to raise the temperature violates the 1st law of thermodynamics (and the conservation of energy law). Here ITN is claiming it's not possible for an atmosphere to result in an increase average ground level temperature. He won't explain why the Moon has a lower temp or why Venus has a crazy high temp. He will say we know nothing about anything so we can't talk about it.

James___ ★★★★★ (5513)	@tmiddles, there's a basic flaw in the video that you linked. It's something people haven't caught on to yet. What % of solar radiation is in the UV absorption spectrum of CO2? And that energy interacts with 0.04% of our atmosphere. How does that translate into w/m^2 which is what translates into temperature? I've never found anything on that specific rate of conversion. With me, I have a bad habit of looking at what's not being said.

What I don't get it is why someone can't spend more that $40 on an experiment that works (Bill Nye famously presenting one that didn't). This is what I'm talking about. Their graphs are wrong. Solar radiation is 1366 w/m^2. The problem is that they say 100% of that makes it into our atmosphere. They show what they registered. And what they cannot account for is considered to be in our atmosphere. And with the outgoing, what they do not observe being radiated, they create a budget credit for it. They ignore the insular effects of both the mesopause and the tropopause. Vacuum as in really cold layers slows the rate of heat transfer. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6174548/#!po=7.85714 I think something else is going on and what we did to our atmosphere might've hurried things along just a little bit. I do like their graph. The temperature peaked and will it continue dropping? http://berkeleyearth.org/2018-temperatures/ BTW, I've broken down a global temperature graph since the 1880's. In using 30 years as a minimum period of time, there is no relationship between CO2 levels and global warming. Their graphs just don't show it. Does it matter that from 1880 - 1910 that it cooled? Yet from 1910 - 1945 it warmed by 0.6° C. with the same increase in CO2. And from 1978 - 2008 it warned by about 0.6° C. with CO2 levels increasing by 5 times as much. Their own graphs disagree with what they say. Edited on 07-10-2019 08:50

In using 30 years as a minimum period of time, there is no relationship between CO2 levels and global warming. OK so I didn't really follow the first part of your post but as for CO2 and Temp correlating I'd say this: I agree with Pat Franks that we can't say we know within fractions of a degree what the temperature has been going back to the 1800s That doesn't prevent us from judging those advocating for AGW using those charts to question their confidence. I don't believe they are just making up numbers but that there is massive overconfidence. Attacking overconfidence is an important step. So using the charts that are thrown around it IS clear there is no correlation evident between CO2 and Temperature (as presented) in the near term. It seems there are two possibilities: 1- CO2 is not causing a global warming 2- It is but the effect is delayed. So we have short predictions: https://www.climatecentral.org/news/co2-emissions-peak-heat-18394 But OOPS we don't see temp following CO2 after 10 years at all. And it looks like 30 years is the standard: Only by looking at long-term trends - 30 years is the standard period in climate science - can we measure surface temperature increases accurately, and distinguish them from short-term natural variation. They make in important point: "The rate at which surface temperatures go up is not proportional to the rate of CO2 emissions, but to the total amount of atmospheric CO2 added since the start of the industrial revolution." It does make sense you'd have a cummulative effect. The math I had on CO2 had it accounting for: "CO2 is 0.04/2.6= 0.015 of that, so responsible for 0.63% of the total air temperature (0.015 * 0.42 = 0.0063)." So CO2 doubling to 800 ppm would bring about 1.8 degrees of warming. Basically you're talking about a very small change, 10 years delayed, it's just not going to show a SPIKE in temperature due to a SPIKE in CO2.

Scientists can understand what the weather was like to a high degree because of record keeping by ship's captains and people who lived in the area. This can help to understand core samples in the oceans and on land because they would have a base line to go by. That's how science is supposed to be done. With CO2, cooling and no temperature change should have some type of noticeable relationship with elevated CO2 levels but don't. Kind of why I spend my time considering other possibilities where certain relationships could be made known. https://photos.app.goo.gl/1afjB3m6y57bwNq78 And this graph of ozone depletion pretty much agrees with warming for it's time frame.
