The Debate14-05-2017 20:03
Wake ★★★★★ (4034)	I have gone out an looked at the other forums for Climate Change Debate and it was pretty shocking. Most of these sites do not allow "deniers". And why is that? One put it succinctly by essentially saying that "It is all your fault that you forced me to shove my fingers in my ears and close my eyes because you were throwing wicked science at me that was against my beliefs." All over the net what we're seeing is the totally false claim of 97% consensus was why those totally unqualified to tell you that water was H2O were screaming "GLOBAL WARMING WILL KILL US ALL". The actual science that shows no such thing and the total lack of any significant heating doesn't make any difference. We have even seen them resorting to fake news to "prove" that we are heating. We have seen NOAA and NASA standing behind fake science and the entire Democrat party supporting it because Trump said it was a hoax. Well, whether or not the True Believers follow their religion religiously you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. The actual science such as: http://nov79.com/gbwm/hnzh.html#width or: https://arxiv.org/PS_cache/arxiv/pdf/0707/0707.1161v4.pdf or: https://www.thenewamerican.com/tech/environment/item/25472-congress-investigates-fraudulent-science-used-by-noaa-to-push-un-global-warming-treaty Or even direct measurements of the effects of CO2: http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/library/coursefiles/04_rad_budget.pdf have no effect. What we have seen is the founding of a new religion. And one that is supported almost entirely by people who do not know anything whatsoever about it. The same people that decry the "damage" of Christianity for suggesting that we be better to one another are telling us we should destroy the "fossil fuel" owners. They don't even know that almost everyone that owns an IRA - all of the little people - are the true owners. Will anyone be able to counteract The Church of Global Warming? I find it extremely doubtful. Even those arguing against it often do not have sufficient knowledge of science to make any sense. So how could you expect a minority - real scientists - to make a dent in these beliefs? The only thing that will work is the failure of their God to deliver on his promises. So we will have to wait it out - 2010, 2020 - perhaps even later in another little ice age before the most stubborn give up.

Leitwolf ★☆☆☆☆ (117)	Hy Wake, could you possibly give a me a list of those forums? Sure I googled some, but those I found were pretty lame. I am sure you will know more than those I found. If posting them here is a problem, please send a private message. thx

I don't think you could get any scientific fact in with a crowbar. The one that calls himself "meteroligist" thinks that warm today means AGW is occuring. That past history is no proof of future occurrence. If it's cold today that proves AGW even more positively.

litesong ★★★★★ (2297)	"old sick silly sleepy sleezy slimy steenkin' filthy vile reprobate rooting (& rotting) racist pukey proud pig AGW denier liar whiner wake-me-up" woofed: chief stupidlight"....If it's cold today that proves AGW even more positively. Solar TSI has been languid for decades & below normal for 10+years (including a 3+ year period setting a 100 year record low). Last three years have been Earth's successively hottest years. For 388+ straight months Earth temps have been over the 20th Century average. They ain't goin' ta retreat to 20th Century average or go lower, like AGW denier liar whiners keep sayin' we're in an ice age. Presently, to date Arctic sea ice VOLUME is almost 10,000 cubic kilometers less than the average year for the 1980's. Presently, to date Arctic sea ice VOLUME is 11,000+ cubic kilometers less than the year 1979. Predictions are being listed, declaring the decades in the future when many of Mt.Rainier's glaciers cease to exist.

Leitwolf ★☆☆☆☆ (117)	Is there no one else? It that really all? I mean, we are discussing here on the english version of a danish message board, and the danish version seems to have just as many posts. Given that Denmark holds only 5 mio. residents, that relation may be reasonable. But the rest of the world? Reddit? If have seen that before, it is totally pathetic. ejleadershipforum is not even a message board. scienceagogo is a few posts now and then, most remain unanswered. And americanwx is struggling to have any discussion. Furthermore we have couple of "critical" sites, but they too will not have open discussion boards. And then there a couple of german message boards on politics and so on. But once you try to reasonably discuss climate change, things turn nasty. It's just incredible..

Temperatures are not "relative". They are absolute and measured in Kelvin. There is a slight deviation in fractions of a percent since the Earth is not a perfect ball. You have absolutely NO NEED to know emissivity. In any case it changes across the entire face of the Earth pointed to the Sun. We have absolute measurements of the Sun's emissions on a second by second basis. Where in hell are you getting idea like this from? You first talk about science and then deny it.

Wake wrote: What in hell does emissivity have to do with absorption? Everything. They are the same. That is basic blackbody science. Wake wrote: Infrared imaging TELLS you what the emissions are and not visa versa. Wrong. Infrared imaging tells you the amount of light, or the radiance of something. That is the combined light from emission via S-B plus any reflected or refracted light. Wake wrote: What you apparently don't know about science would fill a book. Attempted redefinition of 'void' as 'non-void'. Wake wrote: You have no idea of why I would speak of the Earth not being a perfect sphere. Don't see why you are making a point of this.

No. Satellites measure electromagnetic energy, or in other words, light. They cannot measure thermal energy since they are not in contact with the Earth.

Once again, the scientifically brain-dead is pathetically declaring that others somehow don't understand science. Priceless. Wake wrote: You have no idea of why I would speak of the Earth not being a perfect sphere. I know exactly why. You read something that you didn't understand, about some radiation formulas being based on the surface of a sphere, and you had no understanding of the material to tell you that blackbody radiation applies to all matter, always, everywhere, regardless of shape. Rushing to Wikipedia is not even a close substitute for learning the material ... which you obviously don't want to do. Wake wrote: You don't appear to understand the basic laws of radiation after talking about the Stefan-Boltzmann equation as if it were a magic bullet. He has only been explaining it to you in post after post. This is yet another example of your desperate bid to win an argument by simply declaring that your opponent somehow does not understand the science you don't understand.

I believe the inability to communicate is either you, or you are just trying to hurl an insult instead of addressing the substance of the conversation. The substance of the conversation was that he was denying thermal radiation or low frequencies of any sort were electromagnetic in nature. (Wikipedia) "Thermal radiation is energy transfer by the emission of electromagnetic waves which carry energy away from the emitting object. For ordinary temperatures (less than red hot"), the radiation is in the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum." (Wikipedia) "Ultra low frequency (ULF) is the ITU designation for the frequency range of electromagnetic waves between 300 hertz and 3 kilohertz. In magnetosphere science and seismology, alternative definitions are usually given, including ranges from 1 mHz to 100 Hz, 1 mHz to 1 Hz, 10 mHz to 10 Hz." ANY wave that can move through a vacuum is electromagnetic in nature. Or are you also denying that? Do you want to argue about the nature of photons?

He is saying thermal energy is not the same as electromagnetic energy. Wake wrote: (Wikipedia) "Thermal radiation is energy transfer by the emission of electromagnetic waves which carry energy away from the emitting object.

Thermal energy does not radiate. Electromagnetic energy does.

This is also somewhat wrong. I am a licensed radio technician. I know what the ITU designations are and why. They come from the FCC designations. You are AGAIN confusing electromagnetic energy with thermal energy (probably because you believe Wikipedia is infallible).

Wake wrote: Do you want to argue about the nature of photons? We could, but you probably will get in trouble there too, since you don't seem to understand the difference between thermal energy and light.
