Is CO2 much of a Greenhouse gas at all?31-08-2019 16:59
sceptic777 ☆☆☆☆☆ (30)	I have been listening to a number of scientists who are commenting on the climate change debate. One of them is Prof. Piers Corbyn who says that CO2 is not the problem. I have also found a graph that represents the relationship between resultant temperature increase and ppm CO2 in the atmosphere. It shows that after the CO2 concentration passes about 100ppm the warming effect of further CO2 gives a progressively decreasing effect of warming of the atmosphere. After CO2 passes 400ppm the warming effect is almost unmeasurable. This graph is in a Climate change book that I have and it is repeated on a number of PDF's that I have. Is it accepted as a true depiction of the relationship between CO2 and temperature rise, and what is its origin? This is the curves approximate shape. T E x M x P x E x R x A x T x U x R x E x x x x x x 0 50 100 150 200 250 300 350 400 450 ppm CO2

Greenhouse Effect cannot be unambiguously defined without violating physics, which is why you never see it defined in any unambiguous manner. CO2 does, however, benefit plants. Let's pump some more of it into the atmosphere. . I don't think i can [define it].

HarveyH55★★★★★ (5197)	I don't really believe there is anywhere near enough CO2, to have any measurable effect, ever. It's only about 0.04% of the total atmosphere. In order for that little of anything to have a noticeable effect, it would need to create a tremendous amount of energy, which obviously isn't possible. If CO2 did posses any sort of super-heating property, it would have been exploited a long time ago. A lot of the stuff we burn, is to use the heat, to perform some sort of work. Would we need to burn less fuel, if CO2 could make it more efficient? Everything about 'Global Warming', looks to me like CO2 was chosen before hand, and all the work done, was to try and explain why we must reduce it, meaning reduce using fossil fuels. We release a great deal of CO2 from fermentation too, and a few other industrial processes that don't get much, if any attention, like roasting coffee beans, and cheese making. Cattle are greenhouse gas factories, as are most herbivores. They belch CO2, and flatulence CH4, just part their digestive system. CO2 is commonly augmented in commercial greenhouse, as the plants grow faster, strong, healthier. It's a considerable improvement, for a very small expense. They raise the level of CO2 to 1200-2000 ppm, which still might be less than what plants could actually use. OSHA says 5000 ppm is relatively safe, for short period work, 10 minutes or so. CO2 is harmless, just heavier, harder to get enough oxygen, without good circulation. 2000 ppm, you could work all day in, with no ill effects. 400 ppm isn't much of anything, considering how large the planet actual is, and the volume of our atmosphere. It's really a difficult think for people to have any perspective on the size. Personally, I'd rather see CO2 levels rise to 1 or 2%, higher would likely be a problem, since it's outdoors, air circulating. Stronger, faster growing plants, would do a lot for providing food and cleaner air.

sceptic777 ☆☆☆☆☆ (30)	Thanks guys. I don't know why the graph didn't show correctly. It was supposed to illustrate how the CO2 does trap heat in the atmosphere but makes only any real difference up to about 80ppm. After that it diminishes rapidly so that any CO2 that we humans contribute after the present value of 400 ppm is so small as to be unmeasurable. This graph is presented in a book called "Taxing Air" by Bob Carter & John Spooner. It also appears in a .pdf file called "A Cool look at Global Warming"(Sydney Legacy June 2011). I tend to think that the data for this graph may have come from laboratory experiments. I've also tried to find out how much of a greenhouse gas Methane is and have found wildly differing amounts. Anything from 4 times to 10 times the rate of CO2. Every time someone asks a Climate "Expert" about how such a tiny amounts of CO2 or Methane could cause such a big change in climate, the answer never explains exactly how it does it! They just say "The public doesn't understand the science". In Australia here they want us to stop using coal for the power grid but we only contribute 1.3% to global CO2 so even if we stopped completely we would not change the climate change situation at all.(assuming that CO2 is a greenhouse gas). My trust in scientific consensus has taken a big hit!!

You cannot trap it. You cannot trap thermal energy either. There is always heat. You cannot trap light. CO2 has no ability to trap anything. Any energy that CO2 receives from light that is absorbed is in turn radiated or conducted away. Absorption does not warm the Earth. It's simply another way for the surface to cool itself by heating the atmosphere. The effect of CO2, or any other gas or vapor, is ZERO. sceptic777 wrote: After that it diminishes rapidly so that any CO2 that we humans contribute after the present value of 400 ppm is so small as to be unmeasurable.

HarveyH55★★★★★ (5197)	Would you say that a person that stalk another, from place to place, is sane and rational? You've hijacked most every thread, with this one issue, regardless of the topic that started it. Is that sane or rational? I'm not a follower of Stefan-Boltzmann, usually steer clear of those discussions, you make it difficult. I think you both are miss using it, trying to squeeze a little more function out of it, than it was ever intended. What usually happens to a screwdriver, you use for other functions, besides fasteners? It bends, or breaks. Basically, your arguments are over who broke the tool.

I do believe I come up with some reasonably decent ideas occasionally though, maybe some of them get shared beyond this forum. The Church of Global Warming scripture started appearing in physics textbooks around the early 80's. Before that the Church of Green scripture started appearing in textbooks around the early to mid 70's. Much of that was echos from the text 'Silent Spring', a book about a 'scientific study' that turned out to be a scam. Science textbooks and biology textbooks have referred to tomatoes being a vegetable since the 40's (it's a fruit). Most engineering textbooks still use the Bohr model of the atom, which science no longer uses. So, yes. You could safely say that every single school textbook on science and physics is wrong somewhere. Fortunately, there is a better way to learn. One only needs to realize the science is not a textbook. It is not even scientists. Science is a set of falsifiable theories. These theories can come from anywhere, from studying polar bears in the Arctic to watching an episode of Sponge Bob on TV. A theory is just an explanatory argument. They all begin as circular arguments. It is the tests that try to destroy a theory that are important. The theory itself is it's own supporting evidence. Science uses no other supporting evidence. No theory is ever proven True. It CAN be proven False, however. It is these tests to try to show a theory to be False and the theory nevertheless survives that make a theory a scientific theory. As long as the theory survives tests designed to destroy it, the theory will remain a theory of science. tmiddles has claimed he has falsified the theory behind the 2nd law of thermodynamics. He is doing so by using equation for differential radiance as if it were net absorption. He does not understand that radiance is not absorption. He therefore has falsified nothing. He is simply trying to deny the 2nd law of thermodynamics because it is in the way of his religious beliefs. Why does this work as a definition of science? This is the power of philosophy, which has long looked at the question of what differentiates science from religion. It is not 'head games', and it is not something restricted to 'holy men' either in academia or elsewhere. Philosophy is actually pretty simple. You only need to produce your own argument (not someone else's), using your own reasoning and predicates (not someone else's).

GasGuzzler wrote: Show me heat flowing backwards on any material other than a variable eating living breathing working sweating independent thermostat controlled system like the human body and I will pay attention. Are you sincere? I will take the time to do that if you are. I took the time to very clearly layout a lot already and you seem to dismiss it without reading it at all. So let me know. Also whether or not you are intending to you are distorting the issue by saying "heat flowing backwards". Heat is by definition the net flow of thermal energy. I have been showing that radiance flows "backwards" and thermal energy in the form of radiance, that a warmer body absorbs radiance from a cooler body. The net flow is always from hotter to colder. ITN and IBD try to sneak in "heat flow" but I figure they know what they're trying to pull.

So the thermodynamic texts of 40 years ago will show the same thing. IBD and ITN won't agree to those being "uncorrupted" because they know they'll be proven wrong yet again. I agree that debate is a great way to get at the truth and like in a court room having two adversarial parties pulling at things is very useful. I consider it incredibly fruitful so far. I'm understanding a lot about the groups of people in the wider world through the debate here. It's scary and depressing sometimes but I don't want to remain unaware.

Can you provide an example of a "Test" of theory you consider legitimate? Something specific (not randU, or otherwise disqualified that is). Any test that tests the theory itself. The test must be available, practical to conduct, specific, and produce specific result. For example: At one time it was considered a theory of science that the universe revolved around a stationary Earth. That theory was falsified by Galileo when he observed moons going around Jupiter. If Jupiter was the center of its moons, then Earth cannot be the center of everything. Thus, the theory was utterly destroyed by Galileo. Another theory, a solarcentric theory had been around for some time. It was also a theory of science. It had survived several tests to try to prove it false. Eventually, one test falsified the theory. The theory that the Earth orbits the Sun is falsified. That was done by Einstein, Newton, and Kepler. Yet another theory, that light passed through a medium of some kind (if light was a wave, something had to be waving), was also a theory of science. An experiment to measure this medium utterly failed, and with it, the theory was also falsified. That experiment was the Michaelson-Morley experiment. A new theory was developed by Einstein, called the Theory of Special Relativity that discusses time-space distortion. Theories come and go. Some just stick around seemingly forever, but could be falsified at any time. The 2nd law of thermodynamics has not yet been falsified. No example has been found where entropy will decrease, or where heat flows from cold to hot.

So we have Galileo observing that the moons of Saturn orbit the planet. Dismissing the Earth center theory as handily as a satellite photo dismisses the flat earth theory. So I wonder if IBD also agrees that the Michaelson-Morley experiment is legit? It was a real experiment, with a margin of error being a constant issue, plenty of unknowns, and very valuable and important to the development of our understanding. We "got somewhere" with that work because people didn't dismiss it. Thanks for actually putting some stuff on the table to look at !
