Which garden, from a tomato plants POV has a warmer CLIMATE?


Climate isn't a temperature.

Greenhouses work by reducing heat, specifically convective heat. Like everything else, they still cool off at night. That's why a lot of greenhouses have heaters in them.

The cups are identical except Cup A has a foam sheet wrapped around it.
Which cup gets to 102 degrees faster?
Which cup has a higher stasis temperature?
Cup A of course. Insulation is real.


Sorry, I did not address this last night...it was 2AM something and I shoulda been sleeping.

Cup B would reach 102 degrees much faster. You have insulated cup A from your heat source.

Yes, insulation is real.

I thought you were a gas guzzler or is that what you call beer?
He doesn't get this. Greenhouses have more O2 and less CO2 so naturally they'll warm faster. That's if we don't consider the barrier.
I'll leave you guys to your fun.

p.s., scientists have the means to do physical testing but don't. Since CO2 is heavier than both N2 and O2 it would be slower to leave a walled off space into the atmosphere around it. Then actual solar radiation, cloud cover, etc. would allow for the effects of increased CO2 to be observed.

It works in a green house because greenhouses work by reducing convective heat. There is nothing in the atmosphere to stop convection when lapse rates allow for convective heat.

If you are comparing glass to gas, u r an ass.

"Convective heat transfer, often referred to simply as convection, is the transfer of heat from one place to another by the movement of fluids. "

Gravity stops convection to space. The gasses aren't drifting out into space just as the gas in a greenhouse isn't able to drift off into the atmosphere at large.

The atmosphere of earth does not transfer heat beyond earth through convection. That would requite the gases of the atmosphere to depart the planet.

NASA says about the CLIMATE:
"Earth returns an equal amount of energy back to space by reflecting some incoming light and by radiating heat (thermal infrared energy). Most solar energy is absorbed at the surface, while most heat is radiated back to space by the atmosphere."

The IPCC report (bible) addresses this, and surprisingly, they figure it's a bad thing, some how plants will do much worse, as the CO2 levels rise. Then again, in another section, addressing alternative fuel, they praise bio-fuels derived from plants. Bio-fuels would be a bad business to get into, if CO2 is going to kill off the plants. Wonder what we all are going to use for food? They do encourage a vegan diet, since farm animals produce methane, another potent 'greenhouse'. No meat, no plants, Soylent Green?

I don't understand your post. I've had few, Monday could be rough, but it appears you're confusing radiation and convection. Hell, I should dismiss the whole thing, you went straight to Wiki to learn what convection is. Air is gas last I checked. What the shit about moving thermal energy with fluids? Is there fluid in your convection oven?

I don't agree with the CO2 bad for plants assessment by the powers that be. That's a really tough sell.

However Bio Fuels are CO2 neutral since you pull CO2 out of the air to grow the plant and then return it when you burn it. (assuming the plant wouldn't have existed anyway)

I copy/pasted the definition. Gas is a fluid (distinct meaning from liquid). Convection is the movement of in this case hot air from one place to another. So convection can cool a location on a planet, the heat moving up or elsewhere, cook something in an oven, hot air moving to contact the food, but not explain the transfer of heat off of a planet. That's only from radiation. The same thing the roof of the greenhouse does.

There is ZERO controversy about if an atmosphere results in a planet having a higher temperature than it would have without one. This was first called the greenhouse effect.

The only place that is in question is on this board.

So you believe it works for a greenhouse do you believe it does for a planet?

This is NOT about CO2, but an atmosphere at all.

It is why Venus is so much hotter than Mercury mainly, as Mercury has almost no atmosphere.

The moon's peak is 260 degrees Fahrenheit (127 degrees Celsius) and it drops to minus 280 F (minus 173 C) when there's no sun. Not sure about the average temp.

link

The temperature that the Earth ought to have, given it's distance from the sun is -18 C mean.


We aren't talking about peak temperature but mean temperature:

"During the day, temperatures on Mercury's surface can reach 800 degrees Fahrenheit (430 degrees Celsius). Because the planet has no atmosphere to retain that heat, nighttime temperatures on the surface can drop to minus 290 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 180 degrees Celsius)." link

But notice, Mercury is CLOSER to the sun yet:
The average temperature on Venus is 864 degrees Fahrenheit (462 degrees Celsius).

The AVERAGE on Venus is HOTTER than the PEAK on Mercury.

Also the extremes are due to a lack of atmosphere, so the reason the earth doesn't hit peak temperatures as the moon does is because we have an atmosphere:
because Earth's moon has no atmosphere to hold in heat at night or prevent the surface from getting so hot during the day.

I think it makes sense that in a way we are beneath the surface of earth, and the surface of gas could be considered the real surface. So we're underneath a layer of fluid we call the atmosphere.

Earth isn't enclosed in a greenhouse, really not understanding that analogy, other than marketing value. We associate greenhouses with warmer inside, than out. In the atmosphere, there is no barrier, the air moves freely around the entire planet, all the time. The sun on hit half the planet and any given time, warming it up. The night time half is cooling. Were the cool air meats the warm air, we general get weather. The greater the difference in temperature, and the force driving those two together, determines how intense. Had some angry weather just last night, easily hundreds of lightning strikes, just in my area.

Apparently, CO2's super power, is warming. You say that having an atmosphere keeps us cooler than the moon (least the sunny side). So, how does CO2 get so much energy, to keep half a planet warmer. Something else (water vapor) in the atmosphere, likely does the cooling magic. I'm fairly sure it's the same every where, but very obvious her in Florida. The temperature drops a great deal when the clouds form, pretty much every day. Temperature drops even more, when it rains. Still kind of sucks, because the humidity still keeps you sweating. It's still better, than direct sun, and high humidity though.

Neither the temperature of Mercury nor Venus is known. Venus does seem to have a higher emissivity though, allowing it to absorb and radiate energy better.

No, it's simpler than that. The atmosphere has mass. Like any mass, it takes time to heat it up and time to cool it down.

Not possible. You are again denying the 1st and 2nd laws of thermodynamics and the Stefan-Boltzmann law.
* You cannot create energy out of nothing.
* You cannot heat a warmer surface using a colder gas.
* You cannot trap light.
* You cannot trap thermal energy. There is always heat.
* You cannot reduce the radiance of Earth and increase its temperature at the same time.

We are talking about 'Climate Change', which is focused on the 'Greenhouse Effect', centered on man-made CO2. We are being sold on the concept of reducing CO2, by eliminating fossil fuels, will stop the warming, Without CO2, there would be nothing to talk about here, no crisis...

But there will always be some sort of environmental threat, which needs immediate attention, or we will all die a horrible death, sometime in the near future. It's in the bible, so it must be true. Scare tactics have been used throughout recorded history, sometimes to justify some really bad things, like human sacrifice. Fortunately, Climate Change only calls on us. to sacrifice the contents of our wallets, and not our lives, unless our pockets are empty...

Best I understand it, everything expands when heated. There is also atmospheric pressure, which changes a lot. Gravity doesn't act as a barrier, the atmosphere is still free to expand and contract as needed. A greenhouse doesn't have that capacity. The walls of a greenhouse keeps the warm air inside, from mixing with the cold air outside. The atmosphere gasses are always mixing. One half the planet is warming in the sun, the other is cooling in the night.

Gravity is holding the gases here but yeah I guess it would be an elastic limit. At the end of the day the thermal energy that goes in has to come out. If the atmosphere heated it has to radiate the heat out into space somehow. It can't transfer the thermal energy any other way. ONLY infrared radiation is an option in the end. This resembles a greenhouse.

I'm not an advocate for CO2 hysteria. You can't challenge or critique something without having a good handle on it and I'm still working on that.

Head in the sand or up in the clouds on this and you've effectively exited the real debate.

I think nuclear radiation (flavor of the month a while back) is illustrative of how to challenge unjustified public panic.

We have to put CO2 in it's place, proportional to everything that's going on.

If we do dumb shit like pretend that atmospheres have no effect on temperature (which is of course air temperature, no one shove a thermometer into the dirt) we just make the group skeptical of global warming mania look like a bunch of crackpots.

One barrel of oil equates to 25,000 hours of human labour (12.5 years at 40 hours per week).

You better know your shit if you're going to either take that away or give it up.

We are talking about 'Climate Change', which is focused on the 'Greenhouse Effect', centered on man-made CO2. We are being sold on the concept of reducing CO2, by eliminating fossil fuels, will stop the warming, Without CO2, there would be nothing to talk about here, no crisis...

But there will always be some sort of environmental threat, which needs immediate attention, or we will all die a horrible death, sometime in the near future. It's in the bible, so it must be true. Scare tactics have been used throughout recorded history, sometimes to justify some really bad things, like human sacrifice. Fortunately, Climate Change only calls on us. to sacrifice the contents of our wallets, and not our lives, unless our pockets are empty...

Best I understand it, everything expands when heated. There is also atmospheric pressure, which changes a lot. Gravity doesn't act as a barrier, the atmosphere is still free to expand and contract as needed. A greenhouse doesn't have that capacity. The walls of a greenhouse keeps the warm air inside, from mixing with the cold air outside. The atmosphere gasses are always mixing. One half the planet is warming in the sun, the other is cooling in the night.


Actually, an actual greenhouse DOES have that capacity. None of them are airtight. They all leak.

Gravity is holding the gases here but yeah I guess it would be an elastic limit. At the end of the day the thermal energy that goes in has to come out. If the atmosphere heated it has to radiate the heat out into space somehow. It can't transfer the thermal energy any other way. ONLY infrared radiation is an option in the end. This resembles a greenhouse.

Nope. A greenhouse reduces heat, specifically convective heating. An open atmosphere has convective heating. That cools the surface.
ALL of it, the surface, the sea, the air, is at a temperature greater than absolute zero, so ALL of it radiates into space.

Most of Earth's radiance is from the surface itself.

I'm not an advocate for CO2 hysteria. You can't challenge or critique something without having a good handle on it and I'm still working on that.

Basic clue: CO2 has absolutely NO capability to warm the Earth using radiance from the Earth's surface.

I think nuclear radiation (flavor of the month a while back) is illustrative of how to challenge unjustified public panic.

We have to put CO2 in it's place, proportional to everything that's going on.

Zero over any nonzero number is still zero.

If we do dumb shit like pretend that atmospheres have no effect on temperature (which is of course air temperature, no one shove a thermometer into the dirt)

Actually, people DO put thermometers in dirt. Sometimes you need to know the temperature of dirt. These don't tell you the temperature of Earth either.

Define 'global warming'.

One barrel of oil equates to 25,000 hours of human labour (12.5 years at 40 hours per week).

Unit conversion problem. Argument from randU. Watts are not joules. I'll clean this up later.

You obviously don't know your shit.

Let's see if I can clear some of your shit up (this is a public service for your benefit and the benefit of others reading here).

A typical human being doing moderate physical work consumes about 2500kcal in a day (averaged between men and women that are reasonably fit, remember, this is a very simplistic figure). This is equivalent to about 10.5 million joules.
Each year of work contains approx 2000 hours, or 260 days. A period of 12.5 years means 3250 days (or 26000 hours, not 25000). So in that time, our sample human being will have produced 32.125 billion joules.

A barrel of oil contains approx. 6.12 billion joules (depending on various impurities in it). Our human wins. They will have produced over five times the energy that is in a barrel of oil.
