I am happy to answer genuine questions about biogeochemistry.

The offer still stands.

The claims about radon as a gamma emitter are not my own.

It would be silly to defend them.

They are not in dispute.

If they are in dispute, it is only among the tiniest contrarian minority.

Nobody could learn anything if it is just a constant circle of denial..

I hope I still have at least another month before my target audience arrives.

I've got a lot of work to do still before my library is ready.

There is no reason for me to answer stupid questions from someone who never stopped insulting me from the first interaction.

Genuine questions about biogeochemistry relevant to global environmental change with be answered with respect equal to that displayed in the question.

The offer still stands.

I'm more than happy to ignore you.

I can't be held in contempt of court for refusing to define my terms for the troll who defiles my science-based thread related to climate change.

I totally understand the hype and fear and panic that I am supposed to feel when I read the word RADON!. I certainly get it. It's frightening. Terrifying. I see what you mean.

Since you are the biogeoastrochemist, how much gamma radiation are you claiming that radon emits?

What does it mean to "play well" with others in chemistry? Are hydrocarbons like IBDaMann, i.e they don't play well with others, BOOM! BURN BABY BURN, leave a bad taste in your mouth, etc ...?

How does BOOM! BURN BABY BURN become "they don't play at all." Did I miss something?

I totally understand. So your totally insincere offer ... still stands. I see what you did there.

sealover wrote:If they are in dispute, it is only among the tiniest contrarian minority.

Of course this presumes that you speak for the vast majority of the world's population.

Oh wait! Guess what I just discovered. You don't speak for the vast majority of the world's population. In fact, there isn't a rational adult alive who would have you speak for him. In fact, you only speak for yourself, it turns out. Wow, that kind of puts "vast majority of the world's population" just a tad out of reach.

It looks like we're back to you needing to define your terms and to answer the questions put to you. The first question is "Why are you totally incapable of answering the questions put to you?" The second question, of course, is why you aren't able to define any of your terms that appear to be just gibber-babble copied from Wikipedia or some other leftist rag. The third question is why you can't reword your gibber-babble so that the lay audience (that you insist you have) can discern and understand some sort of point.

sealover wrote:Nobody could learn anything if it is just a constant circle of denial..I hope I still have at least another month before my target audience arrives. I've got a lot of work to do still before my library is ready.

Have you ever heard of "Selling Short"?

My money is on there being only one member of your target audience: yourself. You are DESPERATE to maintain the delusion that you were somehow transformed into a thmart perthon when you were indoctrinated into the Global Warming cult. Now that your fellow church members no longer find you useful, you are alone and frightened. The only reason you are here on this site is that this is one of the very few places that you know is not crawling with your fellow church members who abandoned you. You are hoping that we will fill in as your cheering section.

I hope you are ready for that splash of cold water.

sealover wrote:There is no reason for me to answer [genuine] questions [and fulfill my promise].

At this point, I think it is completely obvious to everyone that you don't understand any of what you speak. It's gibber-babble, after all, that has always worked for you and you don't understand why it isn't working for you now that your church doesn't need you anymore.

sealover wrote:Genuine questions about biogeochemistry relevant to global environmental change [will NOT] be answered [because I don't know anything beyond the pointless gibber-babble I have memorized]. The [disingenuous] offer still stands.

You have refused to answer extremely polite requests for clarification and to define terms that you have used.

Who refuses to explain his own commentary?
Answer: He who doesn't understand what he said/wrote.

sealover wrote:I'm more than happy to ignore you.

That is what we can expect.

sealover wrote:I can't be held in contempt of court for refusing to define my terms for the troll who defiles my science-based thread related to climate change.

You can certainly be held in contempt of court for refusing to define your terms for the court.

Nothing of yours is based in any science. You won't define any of your terms.

Where biogeochemistry is deeply connected to climate change.

Each of the two assertions regarding sulfate and nitrate reduction are a falsifiable hypothesis.

Each of the two assertions regarding sulfate and nitrate reduction are CONTRARIAN, in contradiction of prevailing scientific opinion considered to have passed the test of "reproducibility" as per the Scientific Method.

If the two assertions are correct, that means a WHOLE LOT of scientists are wrong.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary.

HEREBY PROCLAIMED FOR THIS DEBATE THREAD

No more radon isn't a gamma emitter or lead does not cause brain damage.

THIS IS CLIMATE DEBATE.

Sulfate reduction and nitrate reduction are big players in the big picture.

This is the biogeochemistry specialist thread for climate debate.

Unsupported contrarian assertions were made.

"Sulfate cannot be reduced. Nitrate cannot be reduced."

Perhaps they can argue a more complete case.

Meanwhile, I am going to put all the science lessons about how sulfate CAN be reduced and how nitrate CAN be reduced on THIS thread.

I will put those science lessons in the form of debate rebuttal to the assertions that sulfate cannot be reduced and nitrate cannot be reduced.

Many important points about generation of nitrous oxide, a greenhouse gas about 200 time more powerful than carbon dioxide.

Many important points can be made about the generation of alkalinity.

About the generation of sun blocking sulfide gases.

About the generation of ozone destroying NOxs and SOxs.

About the generation of "acid rain" as sulfides, NOxs and SOxs become sulfuric acid and nitric acid.

Yeah, just sticking to those two assertions (non existence of sulfate or nitrate reduction) will give me plenty to debate about.

For a long time.

Whether or not any additional argument is ever made beyond the simple contrarian denial.

"Sulfate cannot be reduced. Nitrate cannot be reduced."

YES THEY CAN! And it's pretty important in environmental science.

Don't bother finding your references about lead and brains or radon and gamma.

Just prove you know what sulfate and nitrate reduction are, and then prove why such things do not exist.

"What NOx's or SOx's"?

Enquiring minds want to know.

And it is actually a valuable and relevant question to the discussion of biogeochemistry related to Anthropogenic Global Change (AGC).

"What NOx's or SOx's"?

The ones that include or transform into nitric acid and sulfuric acid in "acid rain".

The ones that participate in ozone-destroying chemical reactions in the sky.

There are too many to list every time. It's faster to say NOx or SOx.

HNO3, nitric acid. The -NO3 in HNO3 is NOx.

H2SO4, nitric acid. The -SO4 in H2SO4 is SOx.

Admittedly, people usually mean GASES with the "x"s, but I thought I'd start with the two strong acids that are NOx or SOx.

But even in the category of acids you have nitrous acid, HNO2. Doesn't occur naturally. Weak and unstable compared to nitric acid.

You have sulfurous acid, H2SO3. Probably only important as an intermediary during gas phase transformations of SOx's.

Sulfur monoxide, sulfur dioxide, and sulfur trioxide. All SOx's. All form acid.
One of them, sulfur trioxide, becomes sulfuric acid as soon as it touches water.

You have nitrous oxide, nitrogen monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, nitrogen trioxide...
All NOx's in the gas phase.

So, it saves a lot of time to just say SOx or NOx. The list of individual species is very long.

Sometimes it is a very specific NOx, like nitrous oxide, or SOx, like sulfur trioxide, that needs to be addressed. Calling nitrous oxide just an NOx doesn't make clear that it is the big bad one for being the third most important greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide and methane.

I'm sorry that your previous education in climate-change-related chemistry failed to include such basic information that you had to ask ME:

"What NOx's or SOx's"?

But you DID ask, at least.

You didn't just swear that they were meaningless buzzwords, simply because you did not know the meaning.

That is an improvement.

Maybe you are not as unteachable as I thought.

It is good to know what NOx's or SOx's are.

It allows for a more informed discussion.

People rarely become LESS smart when they acquire MORE information.

This might not have been intended as a genuine question.

But it was a good one for the people who want to get less smart with more info.

Car engines have EGR systems in them now. They put out very little or no NOx's now.

NOx's + ozone + unburned fuel produce smog. Ozone is generated by burning fuel. Cars produce ozone when they run.

How dare you cite Chapman about ozone thinning?

Berkeley is one of my alma maters.

Okay, I'd love to hear you clarify the "science" about ozone thinning.

"Coal plants capture sulfur compounds in the stacks now."

Only in wealthy countries.

And only in very recent decades.

Just as they can't afford to test and certify every well used for drinking water in the backwaters of the Ganges and Mekong deltas, Nations such as India and Viet Nam are too poor to put "scrubbers" on old coal-fired power plants.

Too poor to replace them with low emissions power plants.

The amount of sulfur compounds emitted from coal-burning power plants is INCREASING AS WE SPEAK.

Vietnam signed a contract to build 20 HUGE NEW COAL FIRED POWER PLANTS.

Do you think that they are concerned about meeting EPA standards for sulfur emissions?

Or lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium, and all the other lovely stuff in coal.

Would it be so wrong to offer them a better price for our natural gas, so they wouldn't have to keep burning coal.

But if you have a scientific argument to prove Chapman all wrong about the ozone layer.

Let's talk ozone.

"Denitrification" is a term invented by soil scientists and usurped a century later by atmospheric chemists.

For biogeochemists, "denitrification" means nitrate reduction by a bacteria resulting in emission of nitrogen gas and some NOx by product.

For atmospheric chemists, "denitrification" is when liquid nitrogen gas in the stratosphere freezes and falls to earth.

During "denitrification", as the nitric acid freezes and falls, it takes some of the ozone layer destroying free radicals (bromides, chlorides, etc.) with it.

Most of the nitric acid in the stratosphere came from human activity.

"Denitrification" in the stratosphere, the fallout of manmade chemicals, protects the ozone layer from OTHER manmade chemicals.

Kind of like how anthropogenic global dimming counterbalances anthropogenic global warming.

The good news is that the ozone layer has a pretty good shot at making a full recovery if we give it a chance.

Correction: No liquid nitrogen freezing in the stratosphere.

In the dyslexic, unedited first draft, it says something about "..when liquid nitrogen gas in the stratosphere freezes and falls to earth."

Oops!

Fortunately, no part of the stratosphere is cold enough for nitrogen to be liquid, let alone freezing.

It was supposed to say LIQUID NITRIC ACID in the stratosphere freezes and falls to earth. That is what atmospheric scientists call "denitrification".

I still think "denitrification" is nitrate reduction generating nitrous oxide, and I'm sticking to that as MY unambiguous definition for the term.

WE HAD IT FIRST AND EVERYONE KNOWS IT!

Welcome to the definition wars of science.

I also wrote NITRIC acid instead SULFURIC acid in at least one place.

My errors should be glaringly obvious in context.

Well, this is how I roll and this is how I write.

I'll try to fess up when I notice the mistakes later.

"Coal plants capture sulfur compounds in the stacks now."

Only in wealthy countries.

And only in very recent decades.

Just as they can't afford to test and certify every well used for drinking water in the backwaters of the Ganges and Mekong deltas, Nations such as India and Viet Nam are too poor to put "scrubbers" on old coal-fired power plants.

Too poor to replace them with low emissions power plants.

The amount of sulfur compounds emitted from coal-burning power plants is INCREASING AS WE SPEAK.

Vietnam signed a contract to build 20 HUGE NEW COAL FIRED POWER PLANTS.

Do you think that they are concerned about meeting EPA standards for sulfur emissions?

Or lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium, and all the other lovely stuff in coal.

Would it be so wrong to offer them a better price for our natural gas, so they wouldn't have to keep burning coal.

But if you have a scientific argument to prove Chapman all wrong about the ozone layer.

Let's talk ozone.

"Denitrification" is a term invented by soil scientists and usurped a century later by atmospheric chemists.

For biogeochemists, "denitrification" means nitrate reduction by a bacteria resulting in emission of nitrogen gas and some NOx by product.

For atmospheric chemists, "denitrification" is when liquid nitrogen gas in the stratosphere freezes and falls to earth.

During "denitrification", as the nitric acid freezes and falls, it takes some of the ozone layer destroying free radicals (bromides, chlorides, etc.) with it.

Most of the nitric acid in the stratosphere came from human activity.

"Denitrification" in the stratosphere, the fallout of manmade chemicals, protects the ozone layer from OTHER manmade chemicals.

Kind of like how anthropogenic global dimming counterbalances anthropogenic global warming.

The good news is that the ozone layer has a pretty good shot at making a full recovery if we give it a chance.

Ozone Depletion - CFCs versus SOx, NOx, chloride, bromide, etc.

The ozone layer has had its ups and downs in recent decades.

In the 1980s, the ozone layer was being depleted ("thinning") at an alarming rate.

At least is was alarming to those who understood that the ozone layer was all that stood between life as we know it and a world where the sunlight kills almost anything in a matter of hours.

At least you wouldn't have to wait for skin cancer to kill you if the crops all suddenly failed forever.

At the time, the main anthropogenic culprit was CFCs. Chlorinated fluorocarbons.

They could form free radicals in the stratosphere that would get recycled as the converted one ozone O3 molecule after another into oxygen O2 gas.

They could do it over and over and over and over, with one single CFC molecule destroying THOUSANDS of ozone molecules before being neutralized.

It was a major success for the earth and humanity that voluntary restrictions on CFC production were agreed to by most nations of the world.

So it looked good for ozone recovery for a decade, but then the ozone "hole" started reappearing again on an annual basis at one of the poles.

Then it started thinning again at BOTH POLES.

And CFC production was still going down.

CFCs were the worst of the worst ozone destroying molecules. They recycled thousands of times taking out thousands of ozone with just one CFC.

But there were a lot of other atoms and molecules that could also destroy ozone with a kill ratio of just one to one.

Things like SOx's, NOx's, chloride, bromide, and others.

It only takes one ozone to take them out. But one ozone is lost in the process.

The NEW ozone holes weren't about CFCs any more.

So what does "denitrification" accomplish?

Thanks to human activity, and lesser contributions from Mother Nature, there are droplets of liquid nitric acid in the stratosphere.

As ozone destroying molecules bounce around in the stratosphere, they can get stuck in the droplets of liquid nitric acid.

Given enough time, those molecules of bromide, chloride, SOx, NOx in the droplets of nitric acid can leave the liquid droplet and go back out in the vapor phase to the stratosphere.

"Denitrification" is when those droplets of liquid nitric acid, and the ozone destroying SOx, NOx, chloride, bromide, etc., that are dissolved in the nitric acid, FREEZE and fall to earth as crystals of nitric acid ice.

One anthropogenic chemical is protecting the ozone layer from another another group of anthropogenic chemicals. NON CFC OZONE DESTROYERS.

And the prostitution of the unambiguous definition for DENITRIFICATION.

Correction: No liquid nitrogen freezing in the stratosphere.

In the dyslexic, unedited first draft, it says something about "..when liquid nitrogen gas in the stratosphere freezes and falls to earth."

Fortunately, no part of the stratosphere is cold enough for nitrogen to be liquid, let alone freezing.

It was supposed to say LIQUID NITRIC ACID in the stratosphere freezes and falls to earth. That is what atmospheric scientists call "denitrification".

I still think "denitrification" is nitrate reduction generating nitrous oxide, and I'm sticking to that as MY unambiguous definition for the term.

WE HAD IT FIRST AND EVERYONE KNOWS IT!

Welcome to the definition wars of science.

I also wrote NITRIC acid instead SULFURIC acid in at least one place.

Tetra methyl silane to calibrate NMR. More common use than tetra ethyl lead (TEL)

The only time we ever really used tetra ethyl lead (TEL) to "calibrate" NMR was a part of instruction and introduction to use of nuclear magnetic resonance.

Tetra ethyl lead (TEL) was one of the ones they ran in the introductory lab session.

The one they were more likely to use again was tetra methyl silane. SiC4H12.

Tetra methyl silane. Si(-CH3)4. Twelve identical C-H bonds. Four identical Si-C.

If you want to zero in the NMR on just one kind of C-H bond. No interference.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tetra Ethyl Lead (TEL) to Calibrate Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR).

HEAVY METAL GAS???

Radon and tetra ethyl lead are two gases that have some things in common.

They are very heavy elements. As heavy as they get.

One is a heavy metal in organic (ethylated) form.

One is a very heavy Noble gas.

They are both hazardous to human health.

One is a carcinogen, teratogen, and mutagen.

One causes brain damage.

They are both VERY HEAVY ELEMENTS, yet they FLOAT IN THE ATMOSPHERE.

I mean, you don't hear about some chemical form of GOLD that seeps up from underground into your house and makes you rich. GOLD is a HEAVY METAL, present in the earth's crust in a pool more than a million times greater than radon.

Radon is a Noble gas.

A Noble gas like helium, neon, argon, krypton, and xenon.

Radon is the heaviest Noble gas of them all.

Just about as heavy as lead, radium, or mercury.

Like all Noble gases, radon is chemically inert.

As it collides with other gas molecules or particles in the atmosphere, there is no chemical interaction between radon and anything else. Ever.

As it collides with other gas molecules or particles in the atmosphere, radon does not physically interact through dipole interaction, electric field effects, bond resonance frequency, etc.

Tetra ethyl lead (TEL) is sort of like radon that way.

As TEL collides with other molecules or particles in the atmosphere, its kind of an inert super ball.

The only thing that ever comes into contact are the outermost hydrogen on the four ethyl groups attached to the lead atom.

As organic chemistry students learn in alkane chemistry.

Those hydrocarbons yield a lot of energy if you combine them with oxygen and a spark. BOOM! BURN BABY BURN!

But those hydrocarbons, like the ethyl groups on the tetra ethyl lead are pretty inert as chemicals otherwise.

Hydrocarbons don't play well with others in chemistry.

Mostly because they don't play at all.

It is usually some other part of an organic molecule or complex where the action is, if there is any.

Pure hydrocarbons don't do much spontaneously.

Tetra ethyl lead. TEL. Pb is element symbol for lead. TEL formula PbC8H20

Tetra ethyl lead has 12 hydrogen atoms on its outer 4 METHYL groups.

These hydrogen atoms are in the -CH3 methyl group that comprises the outer part of the "ethyl" in tetra ethyl lead.

All 12 of these C-H bonds are identical in nuclear magnetic resonance.

Tetra ethyl lead has 4 C-C bonds.

All 4 of these C-C bonds are identical in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR).

Tetra ethyl lead has 8 C-H bonds from the inner part of the "ethyl" in TEL.

All 8 of these C-H bonds are identical in NMR.

Tetra ethyl lead has 4 Pb-C bonds, which make it ORGANIC LEAD.

All 4 Pb-C bonds are equal in NMR.

Tetra ethyl lead has 28 different individual chemical bonds between elements in its large molecular structure.

NMR only sees 4, EXACTLY the same.

It's a good way to calibrate NMR.

No purpose that is apparent to those outside the target audience.

The people who will eventually read will remember that it was asserted that lead could not even exist in the vapor phase.

Lead couldn't possibly have fallen out from the BIG NICKEL plume for hundreds of miles because it is physically impossible for lead to fly like that..

One purpose was to teach what properties tetra ethyl lead has that allows it to float in the air like elemental mercury or radon.

Another purpose was to teach a little about NMR.

The target audience are people who WANT TO LEARN BIOGEOCHEMISTRY.

The target audience believes that the scientific terms have meaning that don't require ME to provide the unambiguous definition for.

The target audience is competent to look up terms, to their own satisfaction.

The target audience does not seek to belittle and dismiss concerns about climate change.

The target audience will see that Ignoramus feels compelled to post more often than I do on my thread.

Polyphenol Terminology. Scientific Vocabulary with Built-in Bias.

Polyphenols are large molecular weight phenol carboxylic acids, capable of acting as reducing agents, chelating agents, protein-binding agents, free radical scavengers, and undergoing oxidative coupling to form humic acid polymers.

Polyphenols are also called "tannins".

Why? Because people used them to "tan" leather.

Polyphenols would form strong complexes with the proteins in the animal hide.

Reactive sites on the proteins were occluded by polyphenol ligands.

Microorganisms couldn't do anything to degrade the protein in protein-tannin complexes.

The "tanned" leather did not rot nearly as quickly as raw hide.

But once you called polyphenols "tannins", it created built-in bias for the vocabularly.

Instead of naming the chemical compound for what it IS, a name was given based on an assumption of what it DOES.

Polyphenols can tan leather. Yes. They are "tannins".

Polyphenols can do MUCH MORE than tan leather in chemical ecology.

By using the word "tannin", the focus is already on just one of the chemical properties of polyphenols.

Who would think that something that "tans" leather is important as an antioxidant, a metal complexing agent, a metal reducing agent, a precursor for humic acid polymers formed during oxidative coupling, etc., etc.?

What are some other names for polyphenols?

Most times when you see the word "defense" used for a vegetable product, they are referring to polyphenols. No built-in bias there, right?

An assumption regarding their adaptive value is included in the name.

"Immobile defenses", "digestibility reducing compounds", "antiherbivore defenses", "defensive compounds".

None of these terms is a synonym for "polyphenol".

Yet, these are the terms most often evoked to describe polyphenol.

Liz Bernays was a brilliant entomologist at UC Berkeley.

She showed how nobody ever proved that polyphenols were worth a damn to ANY plant as "antiherbivore defenses".

Biogeochemists had to work around the biased vocabulary to get the ecologists to pay attention to what polyphenols do for the plant when they get to the soil.

They foolishly believed that these would include radium breakdown products.

As has been clearly shown, radon is a radium decay product.

As radon decays on down to LEAD, look for gamma rays in the energy range close to 609, 1120, and 1764 Kev.

They really need you to straighten them out.

And I owe the taxpayers a lot of money.

AND I received "Outstanding Graduate Student Instructor" Award from UC Berkeley.

I didn't copy paste ANYTHING.

I didn't forget that there were two different isotopes of BISMUTH involved.

And the GAMMA RAYS associated with RADIOACTIVE BISMUTH decay.

And the peak KeV gamma emission spectra for both bismuth isotope's decay.

And it wasn't the EPA that brainwashed me.

IT WAS THE US DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY.

What YOU should have done was look a little more closely at the decay products that emit BETA particles. Two of those BETA PARTICLE EMITTING REACTIONS ALSO EMIT GAMMA RAYS. Look up what happens to the BISMUTH ISOTOPES.
The ones you failed to list. It's easy to find.

You must have copy pasted the wrong source NOT TO FIND THE BISMUTH ISOTOPES isotopes that EMIT BETA PARTICLES AND GAMMA RAYS during radon decay.

Gamma Spec is real. Gamma ray emission from radium decay products is real.

In 1989 I received an "Outstanding Graduate Student Instructor" award from UC Berkeley.

I was a college science instructor for a time, teaching buzzword science courses like "chemistry", "natural history", and "environmental science".

I'm pretty confident in my competence.

Especially when the competition didn't even show up.
