OMG….Maximum CO2 Will Warm Earth for 20 Milliseconds!
Written by Joseph A Olson, PE | 29 January 2011
We have now reached the moment of truth. All carbon caused climate change supporters must fall into just two categories. These Warmists must be either WILLFULLY IGNORANT OF PHYSICS or they must be ENGAGED IN A CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY. It has taken a determined effort by a team of the world’s top scientists to solve this 115-year-old riddle, but there is no longer any mystery.
The Warmists have claimed that the only reason there is not unanimous support for the Carbon Dioxide warming hypothesis is because it is too complex to be understood. To the contrary, every grade school student and the science illiterate Al Gore understand these false claims. To counter these claims takes REAL science that is difficult to explain.
To explain the complete Earth energy flow that is expressed as short-term weather and long-term weather requires two, not easily approachable science subjects: Thermodynamic and Particle Physics. Identifying the forces and interactions is a complex subject for those with lifetimes of scientific study.
It is first important to establish the heat flow that is in question, the Infrared (IR) emission of electromagnetic energy, absorbed by exposure to the Sun and continuously radiated back into space. The Warmist claim is that this energy is ‘captured’ by CO2 which then warms the planet. When the predicted warming ended in 1998, it was modified to ‘change’ and then ‘disrupts’ the climate.
The term ‘greenhouse’ is a focus group selected word with emotive connotations. The correct term is insulation, which does not WARM you, but only slows the rate of temperature change. This is more than a question of semantics. This term and this Faux Science have been intended to create a Faux Commodity Market, a Faux Energy Tax and unnecessary Faux Energy Use Controls.
Carbon Dioxide is a benign molecule that is required for life and is currently less than 390 parts per million (PPM) of the atmosphere. Prolonged exposure to concentrations of up to 80,000 PPM have shown no adverse side effects. All federal registries listed CO2 as ‘non-toxic’ until the recent EPA reclassification.
All substances absorb and emit electromagnetic energy in discrete spectrum bands. The Earth’s outgoing Infrared energy is in a narrow band and can be absorbed by CO2 only in the 5 and 15 micron wavelength range. There is a finite amount of this IR energy, so the absorption is not directly connected with the amount of CO2.
Thermodynamics will provide exact, repeatable quantities for energy flows or resultant temperature based on equations with three main variables: the difference in temperature, the mass of the bodies and the specific heat of the bodies. Carbon Dioxide has a specific heat of 0.8J/Ks K, which means it gains or loses heat faster than standard air.
Humans produce 28 Giga-tons of atmospheric carbon annually. For comparison, 28 G-tons of ocean would be 5.93 cubic miles or 28 G-tons of Earth would be 2.96 cubic miles. What the Warmists are trying to tell you is that YOUR 6 cubic mile portion of the ocean controls the temperature of the entire 310,000 million cubic miles of ocean.
Some Dreams Can Only Be Watered With Fresh Tears. In the course of this struggle for truth, there have been many great friends. There are too many to name, from distant lands I may never see. In a lifetime of discovery on a cold, cruel planet, many have wounded me, and in turn, I have injured some too. One can wish that those things had not happened, but understanding both sides of pain can compel compassion. If compassion is shared, we could all reduce this life’s pain. We have a beautiful world to rescue. This time we will water the world with tears of JOY.
