The question of if it's a waste of time to debate trolls is of course one we have to ask as well. I view ITN/IBD as a pretty good representation of a core group of insincere deniers out there and using them to learn to dismantle the arguments is useful.

Exactly! Good example. GG nailed it.

Define 'heat island'. Describe exactly how much this changes temperature.

Denver has one temperature. We just don't know what it is. You are still trying to redefine 'temperature'.

Indeed I think the atmosphere does very much cool the earth.

Isn't this means by which the atmosphere cools the earth , and increasing too much CO2 into the atmosphere, risk the destruction of that atmosphere?

Do you guys know what I'm talking about?

The issue might actually be Does the National Weather Service use its Boulder-Denver temperature reading at Buckley Airforce base? If so, what's being discussed? A TV station might take it in town where the heat island effect increases the temperature?

If storms were affected by large cities, there should be a noticeable difference especially from Fort Worth to Dallas as strong storms usually have a west to east component.

You might have just proved my point. If you did, it's not something that I'm happy about. There is some "cool" research that can be pursued.
Dallas and Fort Worth are the same metropolitan area. Waco is south while Denton and Gainesville are north.
Where is the jet stream and where do the moist winds come from? If you know this then you know why the Dust Bowl receives only a few inches of rain each year. That's if we're talking north of Amarillo into Oklahoma.
The annual rainfall in Texhoma, Oklahoma is a whopping 18 inches. Don't tell me that when the air current from the Pacific Ocean moves into Texas that it goes a little north of the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
That'd be the jet stream pulling it away from the Gulf of Mexico. The natural high pressure area the gulf creates should draw the Pacific winds toward it but it does not.

He really didn't prove my point. The Dallas/Fort Worth metropolitan area seems to be where the most precipitation from the Pacific Ocean falls. This is not what I talked about.
Denver does not have a natural high pressure system to the south and a natural low pressure system to the north. It's on a plain where it's the difference.
The Dallas/Fort Worth area seems to be located where it is because of its favorable climate.

GasGuzzler, check their rainfall during an El Nino and during LA Nina. In this forum that does matter. It will change the rainfall in Texas. And with me, I think El Nino is a geyser in the seafloor.
El Nino does originate north of Queensland, Australia where the seafloor has deep channels and faults.

GG, the weather pattern below the Jet Stream is moist air from the Pacific. Tornados are caused by this difference. It's possible that for tornadoes that moisture is also drawn from the Gulf of Mexico. Weather patterns will show this if that is what's happening.

https://www.click2houston.com/weather/2019/10/21/dallas-tornado-round-one/

It seems that this needs much more attention, I hope you agree.

Don't worry GG, I know you don't care to discuss any of this. I have my own interests.

There's that buzzword again. Please define weather pattern so we can both at least know what you intended to talk about.

James___ wrote: below the Jet Stream is moist air from the Pacific.
Not very often in the plains, especially Texas. When Pacific moisture accompanies a system into the plains, there is typically meager rain and snowfall amounts.

James___ wrote:Tornadoes are caused by this difference.


Now you're really showing off your ignorance.

James___ wrote:It's possible that for tornadoes that moisture is also drawn from the Gulf of Mexico.


Possible? The majority tornadoes have some sort of gulf moisture feed, especially in the spring. A trough in the jet over the western CONUS accompanied by a strong low pressure ejecting out into the plains in the spring is what typically drives a tornado outbreak. The counterclockwise circulation drawing air from all directions towards it's center is the gulf moisture feed. Add High pressure to the east and it only strengthens the "pump".

Also note that conditions may be perfect for an severe weather outbreak but High pressure over the western gulf can send a "perfect" system through dry, by cutting off the gulf moisture with is clockwise flow.

Later in spring and summer, crops and mature vegetation can actually provide enough moisture in the air through evapotranspiration, combined with sunshine to get the instability needed for strong storms. However, strong shear, steep lapse rates, and cold dry air aloft are key ingredients for strong storms.

There's that word again.

Your point was that storms act funny around big cities. I showed you they do not.

By the way, Davenport Iowa....37 inches of rain per year average. Is this Pacific or Gulf moisture? Funny, it's about the same as Dallas!

While I'm shooting holes in crazy ideas, I might as well make the point that a warmer Earth is not a wetter Earth. (assuming the Earth warms from some additional energy from somewhere) Davenport Iowa is a MUCH colder area than Dallas, yet precip amounts are nearly the same.

You showed me nothing. At the moment you are supporting what the National Weather Service makes known. Yet you say they don't know what the temperature in Denver is. That's what this is all about, right?
And what I said was that the National Weather Station uses its data from Buckley Airforce base outside of Denver.
And for all data that you referred to, most likely from the National Weather Service.
Try living on the west coast for a while. You'll hear things like the jet stream is going south or El Nino is pushing it north, it will rain, it won't rain, wait, where is the jet stream again?
On the west coast, it's about that.

What I'm wanting to pursue is a bit more involved than this, sorry.

Why do planets like Mercury and Mars not have an atmosphere while the Earth and Venus have one? Both the Earth and Venus are warmer because they have atmospheres. The atmosphere of Venus is equal in pressure to a depth of 800 meters in the ocean.
Does F = G(m1m2/r^2) allow for some planets to have an atmosphere while others don't? It doesn't. We would need to understand that first before we could say whether or not Venus is so warm because of CO2.


Both Mercury and Mars have an atmosphere. Even the Moon has an atmosphere (thin as it is).

The problem with the idea that CO2 causes the high temperatures on Venus is the fact that, according to mainstream science, the solar radiation absorbed by Venus is very small because of its high albedo, between 65 W/m2 to 160 W/m2 and the actual temperature of Venus is about 740K which would require a 16,000 W/m2 radiative-enhancement by the CO2-greenhouse. There is not enough solar radiation to drive a powerful greenhouse effect on Venus. I would suggest that Venus is hot due to some other reason, such as adiabatic compression.

I would agree with that as being the most likely cause.

Note that there are two questions about Venus on this forum.

1 - The very interesting one we're discussing: Does CO2 play a major role in a green house effect or is it simply the mass of CO2 on Venus that's accumulating so much thermal energy.

2 - Some folks deny that an atmosphere can result in a higher temperature at all. They actually deny that we know Venus is so hot. IBdaMann on this form alleges that the thermometers used by the Russians didn't work:

It seems to me that the gases of the atmosphere provide a moving, convecting, thermal energy storage. The more mass the more storage.

Another poster on here, Verner, did a very interesting calculation on Mars. Mars has an atmosphere with far more greenhouse gas mass than Earth but far less mass overall. The gospel has always been to claim the Nitrogen and Oxygen in our atmosphere don't matter but Mars contradicts that as it shows very little warming over what we'd expect with no atmosphere, about 6 degrees (where we've got 30). Here's the link:
Earth is at 1013.25 millibars and Mars just 6.0 millibars pressure at ground level. That's just 0.6%. While CO2 is 0.04%, so Mars has 15 times the CO2.

Define 'climate change'. There is no theory of science about what you cannot define.



An example of climate change is when Egypt went from grasslands to desert.

Nope. A desert climate is still a desert climate. A grasslands climate is still a grasslands climate. Nothing has changed.

So these two guys have over 15,000 posts combined, but they want to end all debate? Not one of your wiser comments. I've read every post for the last 3 years and these guys will debate/comment on anything from air travel to politics to alcohol and drugs.

MY OPINION...
These two guys, who I respect very much, don't see any need for a discussion to continue when it's premise is based on incomplete data. "Facts" concluded from incomplete data are nothing less than speculation. No need to discuss the "facts" anymore....because there are none.

HOWEVER, if you want to speculate, well that's fun too. Call it what it is, give what "data" you have, and even speculate the margin of error. I'll bet my last $3 bill these guys join in. Just don't say we "know" anything with incomplete data, because we don't. That includes the temperature of Denver.

Do we know a temperature in Denver? Yes.
Do we know the temperature OF Denver? No.

They have political agendas. They could care less about climate change. It's their chance to "attack" the "system". The US like any other country has a caste system. Climate change can be argued while other things can't be.
From a political perspective, a 2 party system is outdated. It's us against them. In a climate debate, it's either warming because of CO2 or it isn't warming.
From a scientific perspective, CO2 has an absorption spectrum. Of the incoming solar radiation, what is that in joules or w/m^2?
The incoming heat would be 1.004 for that value. No one has said what that value is. Not the deniers and not the IPCC. That is what's being debated.
When Svante Arrhenius calculated the warming potential for CO2, does it agree with CO2's absorption spectrum and incoming solar radiation in that spectrum?
There are aspects that might be interesting and could help explain why Venus is hotter than the Earth. For that we'd need to discuss astrophysics. Why it could be interesting.

I'm not talking about the NET thermal transfer, or HEAT of the human body, ~100watts, I'm talking about the radiance. How much radiant energy comes off of a human body (my avatar being a graphic depiction).

Now ITN will chime in with some fallacy BS but he has NO CLUE what the radiance of the human body is. Can't apply the Stefan-Boltzmann equation, can't calculate it at all. It is UNKNOWABLE to him.

But not to me : )

Quite a lot of it depends on the capillaries. That's how the blood system transfers heat in the extremities.
Don't worry about ITN. When my ancestors came to America, they called the Inuit skraeling for a reason. Nothing has changed in the last 1,000 years. It's just that now they have company.
This is hysterical. When the British came to America, they called my ancestors Powhatan. Get the duality of nature? Native Americans weren't discovered. They were here. Even before the Vikings came, they were here.
They had children with my forefathers just as the Powhatans did. Isn't history awesome? If you don't get it, it's not about "us" but it's about "we".

That would be how a human body convects thermal energy internally yes. But if we know the surface area, emmissivity and temperature of an object, including a living human, we can calculate the radiance using Stefan-Boltzman.

Stefan-Boltzmann equation:___P(out)=σeA*(T1^4)
(5.67×10−8J/s⋅m2⋅K4)(0.97)(1.50m2)306K^4=-723W

Now ITN/IBD and other deniers like to end debate by claiming that since there isn't one fixed exact value available for surface area (I use 1.5m2), emissivity (I use 0.97), and temperature (I use 306K) that it's impossible to think about this. You just have to throw up your hands and run out of the room.

But you never will have a fixed and exact value for anything in this universe of ours. The surface area, temperature and emmissivity of the human body is easy to put a range on though.

My point here is. They refuse to debate. They have no answer at all.
