If you look closely, you'll find that I generally try to avoid terms like "global climate" because I know exactly what bringing them up leads to with people like you. Your post is *precisely* the kind of waste of effort in an attempt to dance around meanings I previously mentioned.

Lie. You used 'global climate'. You used 'global warming'. You used 'greenhouse effect'. You used 'greenhouse gas'. You still continue to use them as your arguments. Now you quibble about what you have already said??? Denial of self fallacy.

Yes it does.

If you do some digging, you'll also find that there are several ways how "temperature" is understood and explained, depending on the context.

It has only one specific meaning in physics and chemistry. It is not context dependent. Strawman fallacy. Redefinition fallacy. (heat->void, temperature->void). Void authority fallacy.

So...any gas. Riiiight.
JackFou wrote:
Considering that most of the radiation given off by earth's surface is in the IR range of the EM spectrum, that would be equivalent to being pretty much any gas in the atmosphere that absorbs and emits in the IR frequency band.

Earth emits a wide range of frequencies, including the entire range of infrared frequencies. It even emits frequencies below the infrared band. Did you know that Earth has more than one temperature upon it's surface?
JackFou wrote:
Questions about whether there exists such a thing as a "global climate" or an "average global temperature" and whether we can ever define/know it are mostly of philosophical nature.

You first have to define 'global climate' to make an argument about it. Philosophy does not discuss undefined words. It may define a word, given the nature of the arguments made in it.
There is no such thing as 'average global temperature'. Mantra 25l.

You are denying science.
JackFou wrote:
Science tells us that IR active gases in the atmosphere lead to an increased amount of incoming radiance at the surface of the earth compared to a situation without IR active gases in the atmosphere.

No, it doesn't. The 1st law of thermodynamics (a theory of science) says you cannot create energy out of nothing. The 2nd law of thermodynamics (also a theory of science) says you can't heat the surface using a colder gas. You can't reduce entropy in any given system.
JackFou wrote:
This in turn must result in an equally increased outgoing radiance from the surface which in turn requires an increased temperature of the radiating surface.

This isn't science either. The Stefan-Boltzmann law (a theory of science) states that radiance is proportional to the temperature of a radiating surface. There is no sequence. There is no frequency term in the law. You cannot suspend this law...not even for a microsecond.

If you mean that "the creation of wealth" got properly started by plundering foreign lands and forcing the population into slavery, then yes.

History revisionism. Bigotry. Plunder is not creating wealth. It is theft. Slavery is not creating wealth. It is theft. The colonists were independent communities that raised their own food, obtained their own supplies, learned a ton from the mostly friendly indians that showed them where to hunt and what crops to plant.

They built everything out of nothing. They planted their own crops, created their own towns, built their own homes, formed their own governments, created their own trade with the indians, fought their own wars to protect themselves and their property from those who sought to steal it, and built themselves up from nothing to becoming the first States of the United States of America.

You owe a LOT to them and what they did...even though you despise them due to the lies the Democrats have been feeding you.

This is a public forum, centered around the Church of Global Warming, the scripture stated by its believers, and what is wrong with it, and how it denies science and mathematics, and how it's just another religion stemming from the Church of Karl Marx.

This corresponds to a standard pressure of approx 14.7 apsi. This value is simply a declaration by a government...nothing more...like declaring a standard screw size.
The lowest barometric surface reading ever recorded was 25.72, in the middle of a typhoon, before the instrument was destroyed by the storm. A reconnaissance aircraft monitoring the same storm recorded a reading of 25.69 (equivalent to 12.85apsi at standard temperature).
The highest barometric reading recorded at the surface was 32.01 during a very clear and very cold day in Siberia. That's equivalent to 15.72apsi at standard temperature.

You'll know what I'm talking about when I'm done. Get over it ITN, you don't get to define words for other people. If you'd like to discuss my definition or the dictionary definition (same) for climate please do. If you want to pretend your odd definition is universal I can't help you with that.

So the Climate of Earth being the weather conditions at the bottom of the atmosphere annually has a mean temperature which can change year to year.

We can know the temperature at all the weather stations in Australia and divide all the time frames and assemble the results.I went to school before computers and could do this with a pencil and piece of paper.My claim is it is not possible to know the temperature every where on the planet and calculate it to an average and then claim it is changing.I will copy and post

I certainly do not claim to be Australia's leading climatologist, but I am able to do my own research, something many of these esteemed scientific societies fail to do. They preferably blindly to follow the likes of conniving con men the like of Michael Mann.
Once again early this year we were lambasted with the incredible statement that globally 2016 was the hottest year on record.
Now no one would dispute Australia is a very large continent, and yet records collected by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology show that for past four years,2013 to 2016 inclusive annual average temperatures throughout Australia, have declined. To say that 2016 globally was the "hottest on record" is disingenuous.

Why do I believe this person??

So you haven't told me what you can determine the temperature of.

This is the question:
"Can you determine the mean temperature of Earth" right?

Now if the answer is that you cannot determine the mean temperature of Denver, your own house or anything then that is the answer (not just for Earth both for everything). You shouldn't then say "You can't determine the temperature of Earth" but rather "temperature cannot be known".

If you CAN determine the temperature of say, your house, but with Earth for some reason is not possible because it's different in some fundamental way, then that is what should be described.

I would say determining the mean temperature always involves a range of temperature for molecules at different locations within the subject as well as at different times and you always have a margin of error as well.

That said you do know someting about the temperature. It is false to say that you cannot have a clue.

So let's go with something no reasonable person would find the claim "I have no clue" credible shall we? The interior of your home. Do you duncan "know" the temperature of your own homes interior? Do you "have a clue"?

Someone, if they wanted to say something stupid, might say "No you don't know exactly". What would that mean? I know the mean annual temp of my home is 24.5C, that it is 24.50203948200239C ? It's a stupid requirement because "exactly" does not exist outside of abstraction.

You noted you could find a lot of different temperatures of objects but let's settle on the temperature of the air within your home, all the rooms, averaged over the course of the entire year. Do you think you could, without taking any measurements at all, be 95% confident on a margin of error for that value?

Are you 95% confident (as in there is less than a 1/20 chance you are wrong) that the mean temp of your home annually is between
0C and 50C?
10 and 35?
20 and 30?

Is it "impossible" to figure out? No of course not.

Particularly if you had instruments measuring and recording all year at some locations. Mathematically this is done with statistics and the "confidence" is not an emotional state but a probability.

We will never ever ever know the temperature of ANYTHING with complete precision. We will always have a margin of error. Also everything has a range of temperature over time and from one cluster of molecules to the next.

Temperature can be fairly even within a subject. Venus at ground level has a freakishly narrow range of temperatures day or night (dark side or light side) and regardless of the latitude. Thermal energy will try to even out and the entire atmosphere of Venus circles the planet every 4 Earth days (while the rotation of Venus takes 243 Earth days). These are the measurements we have from a variety of location, dark side and light side:
Venera 7 475C (landed on dark side)
Venera 8 470C
Venera 9 485C
Venera 13 457C
Venera 14 465C

But professionals who know how to do this are conducting the work. Questioning their performance is legitimate but it's not as though they do not exist and their work was never performed. Did they have a motive to lie? Are they incompetent? Is the work beyond human ability? and so on.

I have been clear that I personally don't know how to do the statistical math. You and ITN clearly don't know how either as you never have and it's come up a lot.

I have also been clear that I am persuaded by Pat Franks that the 1C or 0.1C margin required to support the graph of the Earth temperature the last 100 years are exceeded by the margin of error. He DOES know how to do the satistics and I find him very convincing.

So here you're clearly talking about Earth. Wow you do not pay attention. PAT FRANKS! I am convinced by his argument.

HOWEVER not being able to measure something to the precision required does not mean that it ceases to exist. NO, not being able to determine a 0.25 degree change over 50 years for the entire planet using thermometer readings does not mean that Global Warming is debunked. It simply means that we are not able to determine a 0.25 degree change over 50 years for the entire planet using thermometer readings. The temperature record was never the basis for the Global Warming theory it was supposed to be the report card.

I have answered this many times. For any temperature of a volume.

Do you understand volume or not?

Do you understand wanting to understand the correct average temperature of something to within a given margin of error? ... or do you think that possibly being off by many orders of magnitude suffices for knowing the temperature?

So, when someone wants to know a temperature of a volume, the first thing is to establish the margin of error that he wants. It's a desire thing. It's what is wanted. It is determined up front.

Why is this important?

It determines whether you can just take one thermometer and be satisfied with the single answer you get ... or whether you need to gather many data points, and where you need to gather them.

You skip the most important part every time.

This is where your argument ends. You realize that you've run yourself into a brick wall by never learning the statistical math that we've been telling you about since you arrived at this site. You could have learned the basics at least so that you wouldn't ask those really stupid questions, over and over and over, ... and you wouldn't say those really stupid things, over and over and over.

Oh, in reference to your statement that Into the Night and I "clearly don't know how either" ... were you trying to fool me? You'd be really stupid to be trying to tell me what I do and do not know ... or did that never really occur to you?

You know you could look up statistics software that will do all the heavy lifting for you (it's what I do) while you simply read up on the fundamental components to get a basic understanding of what is going on under the hood.

Whatever you do, your target margin of error determines your data collection method.

Oh, and if you ever present anyone a temperature value ... he has every right to ask for your data ... your raw data, in fact ... so as to scrutinize whether your value aligns with his margin of error.

Right. You are gullible. You probably NEVER demanded Pat Franks provide you with his raw data. You just obey whatever your church leaders tell you to believe.

Of course, once you step outside your church sanctuary and enter the dangerous internet, you are likely to encounter people who are not gullible and who want to see the data that supposedly supports the conclusions you are asking them to believe (on faith) ... but you never have any because you never ask for it yourself ... because you don't believe any of that crap anyway ... and you know that none of the faithful in your church either have any data or believe in the religion because the entire congregation is really only looking for attention and to fulfill personal fantasies of being superheroes in the Justice League who are going to save the planet and to render judgement on those not in the church as being "the bad guys" that need to be thwarted.

JackFou wrote:Earth is not an isolated system, the energy comes from the sun.

That meaningless retort may very well serve to reveal your lack of understanding of thermodynamics but it does not serve as an explanation for violating the 1st law of thermodynamics. There does not exist any circumstance by which you can just create energy out of nothing. Just because there is a current amount of power coming from the sun, you don't get to increase the amount of that power without explaining from where the additional energy comes. If the sun is producing more of it then you need to show that, but you must explain any and all increases in the amount of energy, which include increases in the amount of radiance, power and temperature (per implication).

So, let's take a step back to his question. You were in the process of explaining a temperature increase, which necessarily requires additional energy, and he simply asked from where this additional energy comes and your answer is ...what ?

JackFou wrote: Meaningless buzzword fallacy. "Capitalism" is an economic system, defined by private ownership of the means of production and their operation for profit.

Incorrect. Capitalism = sound economics. Marx H-A-T-E-D the principles of economics out of sheer envy, because he was a lazy loser who wanted everything handed to him for free while he contributed nothing of value to society. As such, he loathed successful people and became a bigot ... specifically a deeply envious bigot. He coined a slur for "economics", i.e. "capitalism" and he called all people engaging in the underlying law of supply and demand "capitalists." As a means of belittlng those he could not bully, he constantly referred to them as being "exploited" and as being "slaves" ... except that he explained how slaves have it better. He belittled all successful people as "slave-masters." Karl Marx was a firebrand religious preacher of hatred and intolerance.

I see you have joined the church of his legacy. Are you ready for a rude awakening? Marxist indoctrination is incompatible with economics, i.e. you must really suck at economics. Then again, you think that animals turn into petroleum when they die.

JackFou wrote:Capitalism is an economic system, nothing else.

Nope. "Capitalism" is economics, based on the law of supply and demand.
Marxism is a religion which preaches bogus maxims that run counter sound economic principles. Other Marxist religions like Global Warming and Climate Change preach maxims that run counter to science.

"Marxist" is sort of like a prefix for misinformation.

When you therefore accede that Venus' actual average planetary temperature could be +/- 300degC ... you don't seem to take the news very well that such information is of no value to anyone. The margin of error renders the data useless.

So then you announce that you have an amazing theory that Venus' average temperature at the bottom of its atmosphere is higher than its average planetary temperature. Great. I don't think you are going to get much argument from anyone.

However ... you then jump to the conclusion that your "theory" (which is a pretty straightforward and intuitive conclusion) somehow falsifies classical phsyics. It does not.

2- The +/- 30 degrees which demonstrates that Earth is warmer at ground level than it's equilibrium temperature. This simply shows that Joseph Fourier was right in 1824 in noting that our atmosphere traps thermal energy.
AND of course
Alternate 2- If anyone wants to quible about +/-30 degrees for Earth we've got Venus, a planet roughly the same size and a bit closer to the same sun with a 500 degree gap between it's equilibrium and ground level temps. As I said a +/-300 degree margin works fine for Venus.

Not at all, it puts the lower end of that range for the ground level temperature well above the equilibrium temp. For our purposes (addressing your take on planetary thermodynamics in which thermal energy is never trapped, energy cannot be created because you think it's an isolated system, and so on) it works just fine.

IBdaMann wrote:...that your "theory" ....falsifies classical physics. It does not.
The entirely unique, and false, version of thermodynamics you and ITN have adopted is contradicted by every published work on the subject. Every one (I found TWELVE REFERENCES, the first 12 I looked at). It is far from "classical".

These are the measurements we have from a variety of location, dark side and light side:
Venera 7 475C (landed on dark side)
Venera 8 470C
Venera 9 485C
Venera 13 457C
Venera 14 465C

How many would be enough to determining the mean to within+/- 30 degrees because that is meaningful. How about for Venus to within +/- 300 degrees, also meaningful. In both cases it shows that the planets far exceed their equilibrium temps at ground level.

No duncan I would not agree with that. You've used the word "accurately" which does not have a standed value or meaning. "accurately" for what? I would agree with Pat Franks that past temperature values don't allow us to be confident of a 1 degree increase over the last 100 years. I don't know about comparing the last 20 or 30 with today. It's an interesting question. Of course it makes sense to first ask the question "can you have a clue about the temperature of anything at all beyond a single point?" If the answer to that is "No" as it is for gfm then there is a far more fundamental inability to engage with NASA numbers than anything specifically related to global warming.

But you clearly are a man in search of a predetermined answer to your question Duncan so carry on.

Ah so you don't know.

The highest temperature recorded on Earth's surface was 134.1 degF.
The lowest temperature recorded on Earth's surface was -128.6 degF.

These measurements form the limits of variance, not the margin of error.

It is not unusual for temperature to vary as much as 20 deg F per mile. Such times can take place across weather fronts, within range of mountain compression waves, or even the difference between a hot parking lot and a cool forest nearby. I use this value for the variance itself.

With a single thermometer, therefore, using these numbers and limits of variance, it's accuracy of measurement is +-131 deg F.
Using 10000 thermometers gives the same margin of error.

We simply do not have enough thermometers in the world to reduce the margin of error below this value.

If Venus were a black body it would have a much much lower temperature than what we found there.- tmiddles

Ah the "Valid Data" myth of ITN/IBD. - tmiddles

Ceist - I couldn't agree with you more. But when money and religion are involved, and there are people who value them above all else, then the lies begin. - trafn

You are completely misunderstanding their use of the word "accumulation"! - Climate Scientist.

The Stefan-Boltzman equation doesn't come up with the correct temperature if greenhouse gases are not considered - Hank

:*sigh* Not the "raw data" crap. - Leafsdude

IB STILL hasn't explained what Planck's Law means. Just more hand waving that it applies to everything and more asserting that the greenhouse effect 'violates' it.- Ceist

What could be? But I'll make it easier. What could be done to determine the temperature of the gas inside your home? Is it possible?

Was this post directed to me?
