The hydrocarbons got in the ground when organic matter (aka formerly living organisms) got sedimented.

So Mr. Genius, why are all oil and gas wells miles below the fossil record, beneath impermeable rock? Hydrocarbons seep upward from where they are created and they require great heat and pressure to form. That rules out your stupid theory. The impermeable rock is what prevents the hydrocarbons from seeping upward any further, causing them to accumulate in a "well." How can this be a result of previously living organisms?

You've kind of answered your own question. They're buried as deep as they are because they couldn't drift upwards any further.

Sedimentary rock is not deep rock, dumbass. Fossils form in sedimentary rock. Further, no fossils are found that deep.
JackFou wrote:
Also if you've ever seen a coal mine, you'd know that a lot of coal isn't buried terribly deep.

The deepest operating coal mine is about 2 miles deep, well below any fossil layer.
JackFou wrote:
Some of it can be dug up with surface mining techniques. We've definitely found fossils deeper than that.
There are almost certainly lots of fossils still buried *way* deeper.

Nope. No fossils have been found that deep.
JackFou wrote:
The fossil record doesn't have a specific depth.

Actually, they do. That's how people that examine the fossil record became convinced that life arrived on Earth in stages.
JackFou wrote:
But since fossils are not easy to locate,

They are easy to locate. They form in sedimentary rock. They are made of sand and calcites. They do not burn.
JackFou wrote:
paleontologists don't generally blindly dig holes kilometres deep hoping to find something.

The deepest fossil ever found was about 1/2 a mile deep. I guess some dinosaur fell into a deep pit. The oil well it was found in eventually went down to 2 miles deep. They found no further fossils, and that well is producing oil today.
JackFou wrote:
Therefore, the known fossil record is biased towards shallower depths.

There are no fossils below a certain layer of rock. None. Zero. We know this because we found out by excavating down to a shallow depth.

Obviously, since you deny both.

Nope. No fossil has been found any deeper than 1/2 mile down. It was isolated and no other fossils were found around it.

JackFou wrote: Radiance of the surface goes up therefore temperature goes up.

Nope. You insist that earth's radiance is decreased by greenhouse gas thus causing earth's temperature increase. You don't get to claim that earth's radiance is somehow both increased and decreased by greenhouse gas through the creation of imaginary separate physics-violation zones.

Also, you appear to want to combine your violation of Stefan-Boltzmann with a violation of the 2nd law of thermodynamics by claiming that the atmosphere somehow divides into separate zones, one near the surface that increases in temperature while one at a higher elevation does not or something like that. It's entirely bogus.

You're going in the wrong direction. You're supposed to be fixing your physics violations, not backing yourself into a corner and digging your hole deeper.

JackFou wrote: This is exactly what the Stefan-Boltzmann law dictates.

You don't have a clue what Stefan-Boltzmann dictates.

Planet earth is a body. The atmosphere is an integral part of that body. You can't claim, as you do, that greenhouse gas decreases radiance while simultaneously claiming that temperature increases. Temperature and raidance for earth must move in the same direction. If you tell me that earth's radiance has decreased then you have necessarily told me that earth's temperature has decreased, not increased.

... and you don't get to divide the atmosphere into fictitious "zones" that, in aggregate, violate any laws of thermodynamics.

JackFou wrote: You're trying to twist the Stefan-Boltzmann law by conflating the radiance of the surface with the radiance of the upper atmosphere.

Right, ... you don't get to somehow subdivide the earth into separate bodies. Your attempt to divide the atmosphere into zones is bogus and is summarily dismissed.

The earth as a whole ... does greenhouse gas affect earth's radiance or does it not. Earth does not have two radiances ... presuming you are adhereing to blackbody science. If you are denying blackbody science and are instead playing with your own invented fantasies then sure, the earth can have as many of whatever you wish ... and your conclusions are similarly dismissed.


JackFou wrote: Also if you've ever seen a coal mine,

Coal is not a hydrocarbon. A scientist would know the difference.

Coal is carbon with impurities. The carbon is combustible. The impurities are not. Coal that is purer carbon burns better. The impurities might even include fossils, and fossils of course do not burn and are simply impurities among the carbon.

Petroleum and natural gas are hydrocarbons and are produced deep in the earth where carbon is plentiful on a far more enormous scale than humans have readily available, obviously. Also, deep in the crust and upper mantle exists the high temperatures and pressure needed to create hydrocarbons, especially in the massive quantities needed to fill oil wells.

JackFou wrote: Fossils go from a few thousand years ago all they way to billions of years ago and the depth at which you'll find them can vary from a few meters to kilometres.

Let's round out this information for a fuller understanding. Once you get down to the depth of, say, one kilometer, what is the frequency of fossils at that depth. Extremely rare? Perhaps onsies-twosies over a continent? Is that anywhere near enough to produce an oil well? Is it anywhere near enough to produce an oil well at two and a half kilometers beneath the surface?

You should be shaking your head "No, it isn't ... it isn't even close."

Now, address how ANY fossils manage to get beneath a quarter mile of impermeable rock. Hmmm?

Please tell me that, when you wrote this, you had at least a momentary occurrence that you might be giving away that you aren't a scientist.

Please tell me that you anticipated my response that no scientist would ever claim to be able to tell the age of a hydrocarbon molecule, that you know that they don't come with birth certificates. Please tell me that you realize that no one has ever observed hydrocarbons form deep in the earth and that no one can tell how long any hydrcarbons have been around.

duncan, JackFou's problem is that he doesn't bother to read anything he finds inconvenient. Into the Night and I have been discussing thermal energy flow, and JackFou keeps trying to talk about electromagnetic energy. In his mind, all electromagnetic radiation generates thermal energy via photon absorption.

I specified that the only temperature increases to be considered will be those caused by thermal energy flow and not by other means. But he thinks ALL electromagnetic energy generates temperature increases via direct photon absorption. He doesn't know how microwave ovens operate, i.e. by forcing all the water molecules to shift dipoles and thus to "grind" against each other and to generate thermal energy via friction at the molecular level.

JackFou also doesn't understand that electronic devices are POWERED devices. I'm not sure how this fact escapes him but escape him it does.

Oh yes, you are correct, no fossils can be used as any sort of fuel. Petroleum and natural gas are "hydrocarbons" while coal is just "carbon" (with impurities).

1) Yes, the earth and all matter above absolute zero radiates. The amount (power) of that radiation is determined by its temperature alone and is governed by the Stefan-Boltzmann law. Temperature and radiance move in the same direction. If temperature increases then radiance increases. If temperature decreases then radiance decreases.

If anyone ever tells you that greenhouse gas causes a reduction in radiance (i.e. it prevents some from escaping into space) with a corresponding increase in temperature, then you know right away that he is full of chit.

2) Stefan-Boltzmann applies to all matter, always, everywhere. A body's radiance, e.g. that of the earth, is dependent upon temperature alone (note: all bodies have an emissivity constant that factors into the equation ... but it is a constant for each body. Temperature is the only variable). This means that the atmospheric composition is not a factor. So the answer is "No. No atmospheric gas blocks any of the earth's radiance to space."

More or less true, but only if the laser device is plugged in.


You claimed previously that no heat can flow from a warm object to a cold object and that a cold object cannot warm a warmer object.
Therefore, according to you, the laser must be warmer than the object it warms.
According to your narrow understanding of temperature, what is the temperature of the device that emits laser light and how would you determine it?

b) Any object that can be heated with a laser keeps absorbing more and more photons of the same wavelengths. This is proof beyond doubt that atoms can in fact absorb photons of an energy less than what the atom already has.
Nope. The material can only heat so far.


The limit to how far you can heat any object with a laser depends on the power output of the laser. If you supply an object with more energy than it emits into the environment, its temperature will increase, thereby increasing the rate at which it cools itself until the rate of energy dissipation is again equal to the rate of energy input.
This depends on the power of the laser device, not on the wavelength of the laser photons.
That's why a 1 mW handheld laser pointer which emits in the visible range (higher energy photons) struggles to even singe plastic whereas a 1kW CO2 laser (lower energy photons) melts or even vaporizes metals.
If your laser is powerful enough you can heat the substrate to millions K. That's why you can even induce nuclear fusion with lasers.

You have also claimed previously that no atom or molecule can absorb a photon of less energy than what the atom/molecule already has.
Since every object above 0 K contains *some* thermal energy, no atom could absorb more than 1 laser photon. The second photon would necessarily already have to be less energy than what the atom already has since x < x+ε for positive x and ε.
There is no way you can heat metals like iron from room temp to their melting point and beyond with a single 10.6 µm photon per atom.

Absorption does not create energy, dude. Light does not have a temperature.

Absorption doesn't *create* energy, it *converts* energy. In this case, electromagnetic energy to thermal energy, to stay with your preferred nomenclature.
So if it's not through absorption of photons then how does the substrate acquire thermal energy that we can measure with a thermometer?

We can and do synthesize both oil and natural gas from inorganic compounds. All you need is carbon dioxide (or carbon monoxide), hydrogen, heat, and pressure, in the presence of an iron catalyst...all conditions found naturally within the Earth.


Where do you find large natural reservoirs of hydrogen? Atmospheric conditions that create CO2 aren't particularly suitable for keeping large quantities of elemental hydrogen around, in particular at high temperatures and in the presence of metal catalysts.

Are you arguing that the hydrocarbons formed below ground or that they formed above ground and then got buried? Because I'm having issues with both mechanisms. Above ground you'll not find particularly high pressures. To form them below ground you'd need to trap *vast* amounts of gas under ground somehow. Oil contains hydrocarbon chains of dozens of carbon atoms. The volume reduction you'd get if you were to make them from CO2 and H2 is pretty darn high.
Furthermore, oil curiously contains other more complex molecules which do resemble known molecules found in living organisms such as porphyrins. Feel free to demonstrate how you synthesize those via Fischer-Tropsch.

Into the Night wrote:

Language changes over time. If you look at the etymology, you'll find that "fossil" was used in the past as an adjective meaning "dug from the ground" (if you follow the link you have to scroll down a bit).

You can also look at other languages to get a hint. In German, fossil fuels are called "fossile Brennstoffe". If you know anything about German, it's probably that they capitalize their nouns. The word "fossile" in "fossile Brennstoffe" is not a noun, it's an adjective.
If a word or term exists in several languages but your etymology only works in one language and fails in other languages, that's generally a good sign that it's bunk.

There is no dedicated fossil layer. Fossils are found at different depths, depending on the age of the fossil and the geological conditions.
The deepest fossils found so far were buried several kilometres deep.

Earth emits infrared light at all times, 24 hours a day. The sunlight only warms one side of the Earth. Everywhere gets a daytime (except a pole during it's winter) so everyone gets a chance at the sunlight and its warmth (unless you at a pole during it's winter).

It is not possible to trap light. It is not possible to trap thermal energy. There is always heat.

CO2 has no magick capability to trap light or thermal energy. While it does absorb certain frequencies of infrared light, it is just another way for the warmer surface to heat a colder atmosphere. The surface is cooled by doing so.

Everything, surface, atmosphere, etc. emit blackbody light. To do so, that substance is cooled. It takes energy to emit light.

The International Space Station is in orbit around Earth. It's sunlit skin temperature can approach 250 deg F. It has no appreciable atmosphere or CO2. On Earth, no station ever measured a temperature anywhere near this high. Here there is an atmosphere and CO2.

If CO2 warms the Earth, why is surface temperatures so much colder?

A night the opposite is true. The ISS skin temperature on it's dark side can easily drop to -250 deg F. No where on Earth has a station ever recorded a temperature that cold. Why?

The answer is the atmosphere. It has mass. It takes time to heat and cool it. Thus the temperature spread in the atmosphere is narrower than that in open space at the ISS. Indeed, there is so much mass that it takes longer then the 12 hours or so you get at night with no sunlight available to drop to such temperatures. It also takes much longer then the 12 hours or so you get during the day to reach temperatures that high.

The thicker the atmosphere, the better the warmer surface can thermally couple to it and heat it. This is why you see the highest temperatures recorded in places below sea level, and why you see freezing temperatures at mountain peaks, even in summer.

It's also why Venus is so freakin' hot. That atmosphere is so thick it has a pressure 900 times that of Earth at sea level.

Sunlight consists of a very wide spectrum, ranging from radio waves, through infrared, through the visible bands, and on into ultraviolet and X rays. Fortunately, our atmosphere shields out the higher frequency (and far more dangerous rays) by absorbing them. The result of that absorption is not thermal energy, but is in conversion chemical energy or even direct ionization. Visible light, when absorbed, generally converts to chemical energy (think photosynthesis to get the idea).

Infrared light, when absorbed converts to thermal energy. This is a very wide band. Most of the light reaching the surface from the Sun is infrared light.

CO2 can absorb some frequencies of infrared light. It too converts that absorption to thermal energy. Like the surface, the Sun does heat CO2 a bit as it enters the atmosphere.

However, attempting to heat the Earth using Earth's own emitted infrared energy is essentially attempting to construct a perpetual motion machine of the 1st order. It's not possible.

This is due to his comparing two systems as if they were the same system. He keeps conveniently forgetting that a laser device that is not plugged in does nothing to cut metal or even produce laser light at all. He is also still trying to assign a temperature to light.

The radiance of a surface is determined at the surface, not in the atmosphere above it. What happens to the photons emitted by the surface *after* they have been emitted is irrelevant for the radiance of the surface.
The radiance at the surface of the earth is determined by the energy balance between incoming and outgoing radiation.
Without greenhouse gases, the outgoing radiation would be equal to the incoming radiation from the sun.
Once you introduce greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, they absorb some of the outgoing radiation from the surface and send some of it back down to the surface. As a result there is now more incoming radiation at the surface. To balance this, you need to increase the outgoing radiation of the surface. This can only happen if the temperature of the surface *increases*.

IBdaMann wrote:
Right, ... you don't get to somehow subdivide the earth into separate bodies. Your attempt to divide the atmosphere into zones is bogus and is summarily dismissed.

For the temperature of a surface according to the Stefan-Boltzmann law, I only care about the radiance of the surface of the earth, nothing else.

Let's say you have a piece of metal that you're heating to white hot surrounded by an argon atmosphere. You can determine the temperature of the piece of metal with a thermometer.
You measure the emission spectrum from outside the argon atmosphere, looking at the piece of metal.
Next you replace the argon atmosphere with a CO2 atmosphere and you adjust the temperature of the piece of metal as determined by the thermometer to be the same as before. You measure the emission spectrum again. What do you see? The same spectrum as before minus the absorption wavelengths of CO2. Therefore, the radiance of the piece of metal has decreased, according to you. Yet the thermometer still reads the same temperature.
Of course the radiance of the surface hasn't actually decreased. It's still the same if you measure it *at* the surface. If you measure it from behind a layer of gas that absorbs some of the wavelengths, you're not measuring the radiance of the surface anymore.

You have bent the rules a bit to now include the tool itself.As a plumber I have 2 sets of heating equipment for soldering copper pipe.A full size set and a miniature one for climbing in roofs and small jobs.They both get to between 2500-3000 degree C but the handpiece does not warm up unless you have it going for a very long time.Are you adding random elements into all your debate.I kind of skip the debate on theoretical physics as in my mind all that matters is did god create the planet.Probably not and is AGW/CC real.Probably not as I have said before it is a good theory but not real and there is not one shred of evidence that it is true but Jesus will come back and save all the good people wont he.As long as they are American from the bible belt


In the case of your soldering equipment, the tip of the heating equipment will get measurably hot, hotter in fact than the substrate you're trying to heat.
In the case of a laser, which part gets hotter than the substrate?
You can stick a thermometer directly on the laser tube or the laser cavity but you won't find temperatures in the thousand let alone million Kelvin range. laser tubes are often made from glass, laser cavities include mirrors. If any part of the laser got that hot it would instantly get destroyed and the laser would stop working.

Now the trick to lasers is that they're making use of population inversion of energy levels. This makes the atoms emitting the laser light effectively "infinitely hot". But of course that requires a somewhat deeper understanding of what temperature is than just "a measure of average thermal energy".
And since ITN and IBD have repeatedly claimed that electronic energy levels and electromagnetic energy don't correspond to thermal energy and temperature they won't find any part of the laser that is hotter than the substrate.

Regarding AGW, the greenhouse gas is just simple physics. From the laws of physics follows that increased levels of greenhouse gases must result in a higher temperature at the planet's surface.
Since the greenhouse gases emit some of their thermal emission back to the surface of the earth, the surface receives effectively more radiative power than it would without the greenhouse gases. Therefore, the surface must itself increase its radiative power to maintain energy balance. This results in an increased surface temperature.
Whether you trust the average global temperature measurements by NASA or not, the physics doesn't change. Even if we couldn't measure the temperature increase because our instruments aren't good enough or our coverage of the surface is not good enough, it still follows from the laws of physics that more greenhouse gases means higher surface temperatures.
There exists no magic that prevents the earth from absorbing the radiation sent back down by the greenhouse gases. Photons are photons and if the wavelength can be absorbed by the surface it will be absorbed. The surface doesn't know whether the photon came from a hot or a cold object.

Because greenhouse gases partially hinder the earth from cooling itself.

In fact, a decrease in the difference between day and night temperatures is exactly what you'd predict from the greenhouse gas effect.

If what you say is true, how can the colder atmosphere result in a warmer surface at night? I thought heat couldn't flow from the colder atmosphere to the warmer earth?

The reason why you see the highest temperature recorded below sea level is due to heat from inside the earth, not due to heat from the sun.
If the thicker atmosphere of venus means better thermal coupling and therefore better heat transport away from the surface, the surface should be *colder* not *significantly* warmer than earth.

In fact, you apparently need me to explain it to you.

Any radiometric dating will, at best, provide an approximate maximum age of the materials present where the petroleum was formed, which far precedes the production of the petroleum in that location. The hydrocarbons simply inherit the "age" of the surrounding earth upon creation.

Ergo, radiometric dating cannot give you the age of the hydrocarbon, only the age of its birthplace. Hopefully you can see that these are two different ages. In fact, hydrocarbons take hours to form (not millions of years, ask me how we know) and any pertroleum pulled out of the ground could have been produced last week while nonetheless showing an Re-Os value of twelve million years, give or take.

You do realize that there is a temperature gradient from the surface to outer space, right? The temperature isn't just all the same until you hit outer space. The atmosphere gets colder the higher up you get.
It's entirely possible for the temperature on the surface to increase while other parts of the atmosphere get colder (or warmer or whatever, I don't care about the temperature up there because I don't live there).
So what I'm interested is not the temperature somewhere up in the atmosphere but the temperature on the solid surface where I live.
That's where all the ice is melting, that's where our food is produced etc. Therefore that is the only temperature I care about.
And the temperature of the surface has to increase due to the greenhouse effect, according to the Stefan-Boltzmann law which you love so much.
*Your* favourite law is actually confirming what I'm saying. Amazing, right?

Now, one thing I will admit is that I realized after I had written my post that my example doesn't quite work the way I originally wrote it.

Let's say you have a piece of metal that you're heating to white hot surrounded by an argon atmosphere. You can determine the temperature of the piece of metal with a thermometer.
You measure the emission spectrum from outside the argon atmosphere, looking at the piece of metal.
Next you replace the argon atmosphere with a CO2 atmosphere and you adjust the temperature of the piece of metal as determined by the thermometer to be the same as before. You measure the emission spectrum again. What do you see? The same spectrum as before minus the absorption wavelengths of CO2. Therefore, the radiance of the piece of metal has decreased, according to you. Yet the thermometer still reads the same temperature.
Of course the radiance of the surface hasn't actually decreased. It's still the same if you measure it *at* the surface. If you measure it from behind a layer of gas that absorbs some of the wavelengths, you're not measuring the radiance of the surface anymore.


Let's say we do the same thing but instead of a metal we use an object that actually has a high emissivity (e.g. >0.9). And instead of heating it to white hot, we heat it only to about 100-200°C.
I initially went with an argon atmosphere because it has a similar heat conductivity as CO2 but if you control the temperature with a thermometer in both cases that's irrelevant. So instead of argon you can use any gas you want (assuming no chemical reaction with the object and no absorption within the window of thermal radiation of the object). You could even do it under vacuum.

So in both situations we have the same object at the same temperature (as measured by a thermometer). When you measure the spectrum through a gas that absorbs some of the thermal radiation (e.g. CO2) you'll find lower radiance than before. Yet the temperature of the object is the same.
How is that possible, Mr. physics understander?

Nope. Rock is a great thermal insulator. That's why we aren't standing in lava. Incidentally, why is the bottom of most ocean water so cold? Why does Death Valley get so cold at night? Temperatures drop to below freezing pretty easily, even in summer. Here in the Seattle area temperatures rarely get below freezing at all, and we're at sea level, a mere 300 ft difference.

That's true. The thermosphere is way hotter still. But you won't feel any of it. In fact you'll feel pretty cold up there. The air is too thin for conduction and so the concept of temperature kind of departs from the common everyday understanding at this point.

There is no frequency term in the Stefan-Boltzmann law.

The Stefan-Boltzmann law describes the total amount of energy emitted by a body (per unit of time) as a function of temperature. This energy has the form of photons. More photons means more energy/power, fewer photons means less energy/power. The frequencies of the photons are irrelevant. Whether it's infrared or visible or UV photons is irrelevant. Only the total energy matters.

Therefore, if the surface of the earth receives more energy per unit of time, it must also emit more energy per unit of time to maintain energy balance. More energy being emitted means higher temperature according to the Stefan-Boltzmann law. Only energy matters, the frequency is irrelevant. All photons have an energy equal to E=hf (with h being Planck's constant and f being the frequency). You can directly calculate the additional energy for all photons from this equation, regardless of their frequency.
Since all photons have energy, additional photons necessarily means *more* energy, hence higher temperature.
That's exactly what I'm claiming and it is confirmed by the Stefan-Boltzmann law.

Therefore, if the radiance goes up -- and it must go up to make up for the energy sent back from greenhouse gases in the atmosphere -- so must the temperature.
If the radiance of the surface of the earth didn't up as a result of photons sent back down from greenhouse gases, you'd be destroying energy and thereby violating the first law of thermodynamics. You know... the *actual* first law of thermodynamics, not your imaginary first law of thermodynamics.

And since photons do not carry temperature information, the absorbing surface doesn't know or care whether the photon came from a hotter or from a colder object. The surface only cares about the energy of the photon. If there's a matching energy gap, the photon shall be absorbed, even if it came from a colder object! That's exactly how greenhouse gases transfer energy back to the surface of the earth.

Oh, since I have you here, have you figured out yet how you can heat iron from room temp to its melting point with just a single 10.6 µm photon per atom?
I'm dying to hear your insight! I crunched the numbers and it just doesn't work out. Like not even close. Even 2 photons per atom won't get you there. Your theory is completely hopeless.

Please tell me that you didn't just realize this now. Oh, and I hope you aren't going to get thrown off by the word "surface." It would probably work so much better for you if you were to avoid the word. Instead, use "the top of the atmosphere" and "the bottom of the atmosphere."

Yes, temperature varies as you move along the temperature curve between the top of the atmosphere and the bottom of the atmosphere, as does the temperture curve when you move horizontally across any altitude within the atmosphere. I am encouraged that you are picking up on these things. Well done.

JackFou wrote: So what I'm interested is not the temperature somewhere up in the atmosphere but the temperature on the solid surface where I live. That's where all the ice is melting,

Nope. I would be inclined to add that the bottom of the atmosphere is where all the ice is forming as well, however this would not be accurate either. Ice forms every moment all over the world within the atmosphere and ice melts every moment all over the world within the atmosphere.

Anyway, warmizombies seem to be fixated on "ice" and its a loser topic for them. It doesn't support their stupid WACKY religious dogma ... but they do keep on trying, that's for sure. I have never seen a more gullible bunch.

JackFou wrote: that's where our food is produced etc. Therefore that is the only temperature I care about.

Your food is not produced where I live. Can I safely assume that you only care about the temperature at the bottom of the atmosphere where you happen to be?

If so, congratulations, you are like every other person on the planet who checks the weather forecast.

JackFou wrote:And the temperature of the surface has to increase due to the greenhouse effect,

There is no such thing as Greenhouse Effect. It's an urban legend intended to con gullible people like yourself into handing over your mind, your voice and your political power. It's like the Nigerian Banker scheme. There isn't any Nigerian multimillionaire who needs your help getting his wealth out of Africa. Similarly, there is no Greenhouse Effect. You've been conned. In fact, you were probably an easy target seeing as how you are so certain that you are a scientific genius when you know absolutely nothing. You were probably targetted the moment you first made a post claiming to be "scientist" and made it clear that you were scientifically illiterate.

I'm sorry, once you fall for the Greenhouse Effect scam, there's no way to unpost all the stupid things you posted trying to fit your square peg of physics violations into a round hole.

There is, however, something you can do. You can abandon the church of Global Warming altogether and have nothing to do with it ever again, i.e. free yourself. I say the same thing to Scientology indoctrinees and to men who have been roped into attending baby showers.

Keep that in mind before you start worrying about what others might or might not be able to explain.

No Answer again.

You and ITN have made it very clear you do not follow dictionary definitions for words and have your own custom meanings.

Case in point:
Earth is a closed system (energy comes and goes but not matter)
You redefined "closed system" to mean "isolated system" (not even energy comes or goes). Makes a total mess of the vocabulary but as you said it:

Only when I say it is. When you are presenting your arguments you can define your terms. Since I am making my points, I will use the words as I choose to use them.

So who knows what you ever mean with words since you mix them up and defy convention so often.

So why do you say "Thermal Radiation" when you've made it clear that in your view radiance is never thermal?

You are supposed to follow along. If you can't keep up with the adults then I suggest you move to a forum geared to your cognitive sluggishness.

When I define my terms, it is your responsibility to pay attention.

Now let's talk about you and how you refuse to define your terms, e.g. Global Warming, Climate Change, Greenhouse Effect, etc... such that they don't violate science. Your intention is obvious, i.e. to ruin threads by expecting others to conform to your meaningless buzzwords and thus destroy the expression of intended semantics.

You'll just have to deal with my terms. STFU.

tmiddles wrote: So why do you say "Thermal Radiation" when you've made it clear that in your view radiance is never thermal?

I never expressed that. Thermal radiation is electromagnetic energy generated by a body's thermal energy, i.e. a change in form of energy. Stefan-Boltzmann governs this event.

Apparently "soldering" means something entirely different to a plumber because it sounds to me like you're describing a blowtorch. In that case, the combustion happens outside of the device you're holding and the force of the gasflow directs the flame away from the tip.

I'll let you in on a cute little trick I've learned in high-school. It's called "integration" and it lets you figure out the surface area under a curve.
Now if you integrate over all frequencies in a thermal emission spectrum, you get a number that is *proportional* to the total amount of energy being emitted.

You could also sit down and calculate the energies for all the different wavelengths that you detect and calculate the sum by hand to figure out the total energy being emitted. It's effectively the same but since that's rather tedious to do manually I'll stick to integration.

Into the Night wrote:

No, not all photons are necessarily absorbed unless you have a perfect blackbody.
However, if a material can absorb one photons of one wavelength, it can absorb other photons of the same wavelength, regardless whether they came from a hotter or a colder object.
If you know from measuring it that an object absorbs photons of a certain wavelength from a warmer body, the same object *will* absorb photons of the same wavelength from a colder body. In fact it *has* to be like that. Quantum mechanics tells us that. Since photons don't carry information about the temperature of the source object, the absorbing object doesn't know where the photons came from so it treats all photons of the same wavelength identical, regardless of whether they came from a hotter or from a colder body.

Into the Night wrote:

At least occasionally you're honest about your dishonesty. Like in this case when you're publicly announcing that you're redefining my claim to mean something else which you can then easily refute. It's like you're trying to build a fake version of my argument made from straw or something which you can easily knock over. There should really be a name for this kind of fallacy... something like "strawpuppet" or so...

I've explained to you about a dozen times or so that it's not the gas in the atmosphere that heats the surface. It's the sun that heats the surface. The gas partially prevents the surface from cooling itself.

Into the Night wrote:

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
You're cute, actually. I almost admire your dedication to your world-view. You'd rather fake being completely oblivious than to admit being wrong.

Of course it's not unknown, you silly.
You were *so close* to figuring it out.
Maybe the teacher will still give you a D- out of sympathy if you cry in front of her.

This is what an emission spectrum of an ideal blackbody looks like at different temperatures:


Here's what an approximate blackbody looks like as measured in a lab, compared with a theoretical blackbody of the same temeprature. In fact you can hardly tell that there are two curves overlaid in this figure because the match is that good(!):


The reason why it looks inverted to the first image (with the hump being on the right rather than on the left) is simply that they flipped the x-axis.

Now again, the total energy emitted is *proportional* to the area under the curve.

Now what might we get when we absorb some of the wavelengths of light with the surrounding gas and measure the emission spectrum of our approximate blackbody from behind the gas?
The result might look something like this:


In this case we're looking at the emission spectrum of earth as seen from space. The dashes lines are theoretical blackbody emission spectra and the solid line is the emission from earth.
Notice how the solid curve follows the ideal blackbody spectrum at 320 K (nice toasty mid-day temperature in northern Africa above which this spectrum was measured) quite well between 800 and 1000 cm^-1 and between around 1100 and 1300 cm^-1?
The rest of the spectrum looks quite messy, almost as if someone took a few bites out of the blackbody spectrum.
Well that "someone" are greenhouse gases.

Here's another measurement of the same effect, this time measured over a different, colder location which is why the emission spectrum seems to follow a 290K blackbody spectrum:

The areas shaded in grey are the parts that are effectively "missing" from a blackbody spectrum due to absorption by greenhouse gases.
Since we know the absorption spectra of the gasses in our atmosphere from laboratory experiments we can even identify which part of the spectrum being absorbed is due to which gas.
This is the same technique that astronomers use to figure out the composition of interstellar gas clouds. They look at the light of a bright body shining through the cloud and then determine the composition of the cloud based on the wavelengths that are missing.

Now what do you think will I find when I integrate the area under the solid line compared to the dashed line curve of a blackbody at 320K in the above figure?
Will it be a) larger b) smaller c) the same?

I'll save you the head scratching, the answer is b, of course. The surface area under the solid line curve is smaller. This means we're seeing less energy being emitted.
Yet the temperature at the surface is the same as that for the ideal blackbody curve.
Now if you were to measure the radiance *at the surface* instead of from behind a layer of gas, the resulting spectrum would be much closer to the ideal blackbody curve for the same temperature.

You cannot differentiate two photons of the same wavelength. They are identical.
If I send photons of the same wavelength from different objects at different temperatures to you at the same angle via a mirror, there is no experiment you can do to figure out which is which.

That's easy. It's 1. That's why you cannot tell two photons of the same wavelength apart.

And finally, I'm still waiting for your explanation as to how a laser beam of 10.6 µm photons can heat up iron until it melts. A single 10.6 µm photon per atom just doesn't get you there.
It's okay to admit that you cannot figure it out, I'll gladly explain to you how the laser heats the metal. There's just no way for me to not destroy your silly theory in the process, I'm afraid.

Yes it is called silver soldering copper joints with a rod that is a % of silver and other alloys that melt below brass and copper.Soldering also means soft soldering with a tin/lead bar and a hot iron also electrical stuff can be soldered with a thin tin/lead wire with flux in the core and direct heat or an small electric iron.In Europe most copper work is done with clean copper and soft solder Australia is the only place I am aware we do what should really be called Brazing.I was fortunate in England in 1988 to be part of a restoration of a 1920s motorcycle and the lugs on the frame were pinned on then hearth brazed where a bed of coke is heated by bellows and the piece is placed in the coke hearth.When the steel is at the right temperature a filler rod solders the lug in place.Very time consuming but interesting


































Brazing is a metal-joining process in which two or more metal items are joined together by melting and flowing a filler metal into the joint, the filler metal having a lower melting point than the adjoining metal.

Either way, it doesn't really matter where the food is produced. If there is less food over all, everyone starts to notice eventually. Once some places become uninhabitable, people living there will leave, starting migration routes and refugee streams.

Of course no one has ever observed it, you silly. It takes a pretty long time and the hydrocarbons we're digging up these days were formed millions of years ago.

If it was really just some sort of natural Fischer-Tropsch that makes hydrocarbons in just a few hours, that should be pretty easy to observe. Just dig a hole and watch it happen in real time. So the fact that no one has seen it yet tells me it's probably not that.
