High level atmospheric physics is going to be generally beyond me. If you can't give me a simplified explaination before I read the proper physics I will get the idea that you don't understand it and there is no point me trying to as I have been down that raod many times before with various people.

I am sure you remember the fuss about peak oil. I, and many many others said it was a load of horse shit.

There is at least 200 years supply of coal under Labridor for the world. Much more under England. Similar amounts over lots of the world. We will definately stop using coal long before we run out of it.

Oil is less abundant but we still find loads of it and f the price gets to about $110 a barrel loads more stuff that can be made into oil comes along. Canadian oil shales etc.

Just not a problem.

He's just trying to ignore the laws of thermodynamics again. He doesn't understand that while there is a temperature inversion in the stratosphere and the thermosphere, the density of the atmosphere is decreasing so rapidly that there is no energy inversion. Energy per cubic foot still decreases as you rise in altitude.

The stratospheric temperature inversion is caused by the create and destruction of ozone by sunlight. The thermospheric temperature inversion is caused by the increasing effect of the solar winds as the atmosphere thins.

You are quite right about coal. There is so much of the stuff we have no worries. Oil prices are related to the dollar (which is falling in value). It's a lousy way to figure out when it's better to use alternative sources. It's better to compare oil's cost to other commodities and to costs of obtaining it from various sources, not the dollar itself. I foresee $110/barrel oil, because of the falling dollar and other world currencies against commodities.

The Canadian oil shales ARE oil. It just requires a different technique to get at it. Oil is a renewable resource, just like natural gas. The Fischer-Tropsche process, which synthesizes oil from nonbiological source material, is a process very similar to what happens underground naturally.

You are correct the bit with 'peak oil' is horseshit. Like coal, we really do have all the oil we need. We have all the natural gas we need as well. We aren't running out of either of these two fuels anytime soon.

...Tim, if there are 2 rooms that are 10m x 5 m x 2.5m with a door between them and one is A and the other B then we can consider thermodynamics.
..If room A is 20° C and room B is 30° then when the door is opened the temperature will balance out at 25° C. There are no barriers between the layers of our atmosphere yet some will be warmer than others. Thermodynamics states that this can only happen if work is being performed. An example is 20° C. air flowing into a room with 30° C. air causing circulation to happen. We all know that the cooler air is denser and can move warmer, less dense air. After this it does get technical. Also something like this could be used to show if CO2 has much influence on atmospheric gases being able to increase their heat content. Heat can pass through barriers. Would the amount of CO2 affect something like that? Something like that to my knowledge hasn't been done yet.
..I live in Kentucky, US. it is the 2nd largest coal producer in the US.
https://goo.gl/images/id5SDG
..Even miners will say those jobs have been lost because it is too expensive to mine coal in Kentucky. No one has considered trying to make the mining process more efficient. The usual answer is we've always done it this way.
..In Colorado coal seems are thick and therefore easy to mine.
..Fracking in the U.S. isn't possible because it requires a lot of fresh water while at the same time there's a risk of contaminating ground water. I know with coal mining that leaching ponds have broken their dykes and have left a serious problem because of all the land that gets polluted.
..I also know that in Europe that there is ITER https://www.iter.org/.
.With me, I think it's possible to clean up emissions from coal fired power plants and make a more efficient use of coal. Someone has posted that the number of coal plants in the world is expected to increase just as the world's population and demand for energy is expected to increase.
..That kind of makes me odd man out because as an environmentalist I shouldn't be thinking about making coal fired power plants more efficient but if they're not going away any time soon then we might as well try to improve what we're using to meet the energy demands of today.

..Fracking is being done in the US and it's highly controversial because of water issues.

..Thought I'd mention that since both rooms have a volume of 125 cubic meters and fair's mass is "1.22500 kg/m^3" the Stefan -Boltzmann constant can be considered. This is because a barrier would be heated by the warmer room.
..And if CO2 causes air to retain heat then it stands to reason that less heat would be transferred into the barrier. As the amount of CO2 is increased it would reduce the heat radiated into the barrier. This would decrease it's emissivity.
..And by knowing the mass of air, etc. then if we wanted to play around with Avagrado's number or Boltzmann's constant then we can. And for tin the Stefan-Boltzmann constant would show how 2 different volumes of air would affect it depending on the specific mixture of gases in each room.


..To simplify things. If a room is 10° C warmer than another, for the temperature to change by 5° C. would take time. If CO2 is trapping heat in the warmer room then it would take more time for the temperature to change by 5° C.. This would be using a barrier between rooms.

It is not possible to trap heat.
You are still not considering density of air.

...Even though you deny science technically you're right. It's heat content when it's trapped. If you consider that 0° C. is 273.15 kelvins then 20° C. is 293.15 kelvins. Likewise 30° C. is 300.15 kelvins.
..If room A is 20° C. then it's KE is 3/2k * 293.15. Room B would be KE = 3/2k * 300.15. What you need to remember is that
For example, air molecules at a room temperature of 25 degrees Celsius (300 kelvins, or 77 degrees Fahrenheit) are traveling at an average speed of about 500 meters per second (1,100 mph). But some are moving at 223 m/s, some at 717 m/s, and so forth, and they are all moving in different directions. Each individual property cannot be known.
[url] https://www.nist.gov/si-redefinition/kelvin-boltzmann-constant[/url]
Heat is associated with heat content because it's the energy released by collisions. The faster the average speed of a molecule moves the more collisions it will have.

room B would be 303.15 kelvins. The 300 kelvins in the quote is rounding off 298.15. We would need to precise if we want to consider the Sefan-Boltzmann constant and the emissivity of a barrier.

There is no such thing as 'heat content'. It is not possible to trap heat. Heat has no temperature.

You have assumed that the rooms are heat sealed away from the outside world. That no heat energy comes of goes out of the walls.

There are no barriers between the layers of our atmosphere yet some will be warmer than others.


You must understand how moving a bit (mass) of air from sea level upwards will reduce the pressure and thus automatically reduce the temperature of that gas without any other outside heat flow anywhere.

Thermodynamics states that this can only happen if work is being performed. An example is 20° C. air flowing into a room with 30° C. air causing circulation to happen. We all know that the cooler air is denser and can move warmer, less dense air. After this it does get technical.

I have no idea what you are talking about. The degree of heat transfer between air bodies is something that atmospheric physicists look at. However, if you have a 300km wide 2 km high air pocket of warm air then the amount of heat transfer duet o it touching the other air around it will be minimal compared to the over all heat energy in that air.

I guarantee that the management of caol mines constantly looks at how to try to make the whole process cheaper and more efficent. That is their job. That is why there are lots less people doing the mining and more coal coming out.
..In Colorado coal seems are thick and therefore easy to mine.


It is so in many places. The thing is it is even easier to mine in other places thus cheaper to do it there.

Fracking is done loads in the US. The level of pollution/contamination from it is by far the lowest from any extractive industry. There are issues still with it which do need good strong regulation around it which seems to have been lacking to a large degree with it some years ago. I believe, due to the lack of recent new news on the subject, that they have tightened up on it.

Cleaning up coal fired power plants is generally about removing dust from the exhaust. The efficency of these plants is almost as good as it theoretically can get.

If you want to remove the CO2 then the efficency of the plant will greatly drop. You will have to use vastly more coal to get the same power. Like twice as much. And then work out what you are going to do with the CO2.

This is actually okay, since the rooms are hypothetical and he is using an isolated system (one that does not consider any outside energy sources or sinks). What is not okay is his comparison of these hypothetical rooms to the open atmosphere of the Earth. That's a false equivalence.

I don't think he does. Of course, pockets of colder air that are falling also warm up as the pressure rises. It won't be as warm as when it rose earlier (due to radiant heating into space while it's moving around), but it does warm again as it falls.

Quite true. Air of different temperatures doesn't mix well because of this. It eventually does, of course, but it takes awhile.

Fracking for water has been used for about 1200 years (first used in China). We used fracking during the War of Secession (what most people call the 'Civil' war) to break up bunkers. Fracking for oil is fairly recent. You are right. They are figuring out how to do it better with less mess. All fracking does is use hydraulic pressure to fracture rock. Usually water is used as the hydraulic fluid (these days with certain lubricants and various grits added).

True. The collectors are designed to collect soot and sulfur oxides. In some cases, the sulfur is sold to gypsum users to make products like wallboard.

There is also no need to collect or eliminate CO2 from the exhaust. Neither the CO2 nor the water vapor in the exhaust is capable of warming the Earth by using surface IR. They are both benign and even beneficial to the environment.

...Even though you deny science technically you're right. It's heat content when it's trapped. If you consider that 0° C. is 273.15 kelvins then 20° C. is 293.15 kelvins. Likewise 30° C. is 300.15 kelvins.
...deleted remaining gibberish...


There is no such thing as 'heat content'. It is not possible to trap heat. Heat has no temperature.

The Stefan-Boltzmann law is not a constant. The Stefan-Boltzmann constant is not the Stefan-Boltzmann equation.

It is YOU that denies science. Inversion fallacy.


..Sad to say itn but an experiment like this could lead to a better understanding of if we are influencing climate change, then what is it that We're doing?


'We' are doing nothing. You are playing around with buzzwords.



..There's an old saying that goes "Trust but verify".
.It goes as much for climate change as it does you.
No, it doesn't. You can't even define 'climate change'.

Then look up the 1st and 2nd laws of thermodynamics and the Stefan-Boltzmann law for yourself.

..Can't you define climate? That's pretty basic because there are only 3 types of climate. There's tropical, temperate and arctic. And climate change is when a part of one of those regions become like the climate it's neighboring.

If you want to remove the CO2 then the efficiency of the plant will greatly drop. You will have to use vastly more coal to get the same power. Like twice as much. And then work out what you are going to do with the CO2.


..I think I can do better. I have been in contact with people familiar with the coal industry here in Kentucky. A part of what I would be considering is removing heat from the exhaust gasses to preheat the coke. Cooler exhaust would also improve the efficiency of cleaning up a power plant's emissions. Also with coal fired power plants there's heavy metals like arsenic and mercury.

You can't define 'climate change' with 'climate change'. You can't define a word with itself! Try again.

It takes energy to move heat backwards like that. That energy comes from the coal you are burning. That means that energy is not available for something useful.

Any arsenic or mercury that happens to accompany the coal (coal is just primarily elemental carbon) are captured by the same systems that capture sulfur impurities and lighter dust from components of coal that don't burn (like the fossils that are in it).
