Torrential rainfall lashed Japan in July. A cloudburst in August submerged entire villages in south India. In September, Hurricane Florence burst dams and lagoons, with coal ash and pig waste spilling into the waterways of North Carolina. On the other side of the planet, a typhoon walloped the Philippines and ravaged the country's staple crop, rice.

Climate scientists can't say where or when the next big storm will hit, but all the evidence points to this: Global warming is bringing the planet into an era of wilder, more dangerous rains with ruinous and long-lasting consequences.

Well, James failed at this. I assume you want to try it too?

Spots. It takes COLD air to condense vapor into rain.

I read your dumb story and they make it sound like it's pouring rain everywhere. A quick bit of searching turns up this.

Looks like roughly 45% of the US is in some bit of dry conditions. How can that be when it's raining cats and dogs everywhere else?

I am a bit pushed for time at the moment but this might help.

If that doesn't work ask your mentor ITN. You seem to trust him over every sane person when it comes to the "controversy" on the laws of thermodynamics.

There is no controversy on the laws of thermodynamics. They are theories of science. They have not yet been falsified. You can't just ignore them.

I don't. You can't heat the surface using a colder gas. You are denying the 2nd law of thermodynamics.

The Magick Blanket argument doesn't work either. CO2 is not a thermal insulator. It actually conducts heat better than almost any other gas or vapor in the atmosphere.

You can't warm a dead body with a blanket. You can't warm a rock with a blanket.
You can't create energy out of nothing. You are denying the 1st law of thermodynamics.

You can't reduce radiance and increase temperature at the same time. You are denying the Stefan-Boltzmann law.

You can't just ignore and deny these laws. They are theories of science. They have not yet been falsified.

The blanket warming a dead body actually raises a fair question...

Seee everyone? I will question ALL sides.

If the center of the earth is lava and hot molten rock, is it comparable to a dead body? Is it not a heat source? You don't need to go down very far to find constant soil temps year round, regardless of season.

If the Sun burned out tomorrow, would the surface temp go to 0 Kelvin?

Because decomposition doesn't generate heat. The body decomposing is at ambient temperature the whole way. In most cases, the blanket would rot along with the body, even synthetic ones.

If the ambient temperature drops below a certain temperature (just above freezing), decomposition stops completely. If the water is removed, decomposition stops completely.

Forensic science is not about the decomposition process.

You just agreed with him.

Now if you want to also consider the temperature of all points WITHIN the Earth as part of the temperature of the Earth as well, you must also consider that we have NO thermometers inside the Earth, other than the occasional mine (which by comparison doesn't go very deep).

The geenhouse gas idea is that different wavelengths of light interact differently with the air.

Like radar will go through a cloud but visable light will be bounced around and reflected back down or up.

So high energy UV and visable gets through the CO2 to the ground but the lower energy IR from the surface is reflected back down more.

I have seen a credable argument that this idea is unnecessary to explain the temperatures of all the planets in the solar system and I don't actually care about it as it is all too complex for my level of physics to argue about.

Jesus is the answer. As for this world, who cares? Both tin and gasguzzler are probably devout Christians. This is why they have the right answer.

That light came from the surface in the first place, cooling it. Reflecting it back down means you are trying to heat it again using the same light. Trouble is, it's already warmer than the gas that's trying to heat it. You can't make heat flow 'uphill'. No matter how you try, you can't heat a warmer surface using a colder one, not even by radiance.

No gas 'reflects' the infrared. It absorbs the infrared. Absorption does not heat the surface. The energy from that absorption simply warms the gas slightly, in a manner that is just as effective as conductive heating by contact with the surface.

Does air (and CO2) emit infrared? Sure, just as the surface does. Being a gas, it is quite a bit dimmer a radiance. It is not the same color of infrared as what it absorbed. It is not the same intensity as what it absorbed. Most of that energy was lost by convection and conduction.

Can it heat the surface? No. That light is much lower in intensity and in frequency. The surface will not absorb it. It is already too warm. It is the Sun that warms it, not any gas in the atmosphere. That light is simply reflected away again. We can't see it because it's beyond our range of vision, but instruments can.

Why doesn't get as cold as the Moon at night? The surface and the atmosphere both have mass. It takes time to heat and cool them. This is also why we don't get as hot as the Moon during the day. That atmosphere has mass. The oceans not only have mass, but have water in them. It takes a lot more energy to heat and cool water enough to change it by one degree than most other substances on Earth. Water is in the air, too.

James,

Have you gone bonkers?

I am an atheist.

What the hell are you talking about? What has all this to do with the church? Why does me saying that I don't have the physics understanding to talk about the interplay of CO2 with the rest of the atmosphere and the degree of transpairancy to various wavelengths of light?????

Oh, I get it! You feel massively belittleled by anybody who has the confidence to admit to any limit of themselves!

..Tim, I was taking about tin and gasguzzler and said as much.
There is a basic flaw in the IPCC's reasoning that has been missed.
Even comments made by the IPCC in the past were strange considering
the reports they had just released. And all of this could explain why
storms are slightly fewer but are stronger.
..It's just that I've had Christians use the same reasoning as tin and gasguzzler.
An example is that storms are getting stronger while they say they aren't. Christians tell me we're in the end times which I doubt we are. And both are against me pursuing goals which they don't support.

..I don't watch CNN. Didn't I show you Jesus's quote? The one about casting that which is holy before swine? You haven't shown where you are a reasonable person.
..This is odd in a way because people hold my hearing loss against me. To others it has to represent something other than just a significant hearing loss. The same goes for discussing climate change. If I show a report from the IPCC then I am told I have to support it as well as what scientists with the IPCC have said about it. This keeps any discussion from happening.
..They've basically have said something not in our atmosphere is causing climate change but we can't discuss that.

OK, then here's this from the IPCC Holy Grail. Line 6???
Moreover,
3 studies that have used more homogeneous records but that were consequently limited to rather short periods
4 of 20 to 25 years in length, have reported no statistically significant trends or decreases in the global number
5 of these systems (Kamahori et al., 2006; Klotzbach and Landsea, 2015). CMIP5 model simulations of the
6 historical period have also not produced anthropogenically induced trends in very intense tropical cyclones
7 (Bender et al., 2010; Knutson et al., 2010, 2013; Camargo, 2013; Christensen et al., 2013), consistent with
8 the findings of Klotzbach and Landsea (2015). There is consequently low confidence in the larger number of
9 studies reporting increasing trends in the global number of very intense cyclones

Oh, ITN.

To be honest I find Gasguzzler fine. I think he is very quick at learning and understanding stuff.

He is a small businessman. That means he is naturally and occupationally good at dealing with a high degree of risk in his life. He must have a high degree of internal confidence. No choice about it.

Such people who are not risk averse can look at the threat of climate change and judge it without panicing.

I think that is the primary difference between the Alarmists and the Skeptics.

As far as warm water for hurricanes go...

I differ from the other 2 by asking for some sort of mechanism to explain the idea that warmer oceans will cause stronger wind speeds.

Winds are driven by pressure differences which are the result of temperature differences.

If the warming happens as shouted about, more in the cooler places, then there will surely be less in the way of wind.

Agreed. He is very quick at learning and understanding stuff. Being a small businessman certainly helps, but that is not required. I have seen this sort of understanding in people all across the spectrum.

Mostly what it takes is someone that can look at it without panicking and who has an open mind (is not a fundamentalist).

That's right. What increases the strength of hurricanes is a temperature difference, not just warmer water.

It doesn't. Heat is not a 'content'. CO2 does not have the capability to create energy, reduce the radiance of Earth and increase its temperature at the same time, or make heat flow backwards.

We know the frequencies of light that CO2 absorbs. It has been verified. We can even identify the presence of CO2 by looking solely at these absorption lines.

Like I said. If you want to discuss theoretical (or any other) physics, you are going to have to learn what the theories of science are concerning physics in the first place. You can't just discard them and go off into worlds of imagination like they weren't there.

I think you forgot Obama's vision of the economic future, calling the poor economy as the 'new normal'. Trump has turned that around.

Yeah, he can be abrasive. He says it like it is. He doesn't pull any punches. I don't mind that. He gets things done.

Carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrous oxide (N2O), and methane (CH4) are each important to climate forcing and to the levels of stratospheric ozone (see Chapter 2). In terms of the globally averaged ozone column, additional N2O leads to lower ozone levels, whereas additional CO2 and CH4 lead to higher ozone levels. Ozone depletion to date would have been greater if not for the historical increases in CO2 and CH4.

..and Tim, gasguzzler is a Trump supporter. What we've learned from the NFL is that if a team mortgages it's future to win today then in the future it will lose because it can't afford to pay it's players. This only means that the U.S. needs to be fiscally responsible which it isn't.

As warm air rises above a warm sea, the Carribean, the rotation of the earth causes the whole lot to swirl around.

This is then driven around by other winds and picks up more of the same.

The point is however, that the warm air bit is warm by comparison with the air around it. If you have a general heating then I don't see any difference.

Feel free to cite some physics that explains the mechanism to me.
