2 Stories: Proving The Greenhouse Gas Theory Wrong – Video: The Imaginary Climate Crisis

Temperature in the atmosphere is dictated by the surface temperature (mostly water), CO2 play not part.

By Herb Rose

In order to convince someone that what they believe is wrong you must show them that it contradicts something else that they believe in more strongly. There is a point where you reach that fundamental belief that cannot be shaken or discredited and any discussion beyond that point will have no effect.

Different religious faiths have tenets that define their faith and these are accepted and beyond challenge. If the Bible says the Earth is flat then pictures of it from space, or arguments dealing with observations will be not be enough to dissuade the believer and they will not accept the evidence.

The same is true in science where there are beliefs accepted on faith that cannot be proven. In physics the fundamental tenet is that mater or energy cannot be created or destroyed. There is no evidence to support this contention but there must be an accepted basis from which other beliefs are developed and if a new theory contradicts the prime tenet it is discarded and alternate theories are proposed.

As science develops new concepts are accepted as true and form the building block for further progress in understanding. These subsequent beliefs are open to challenge but the only way to disprove them is to show that they conflict with an even more basic belief.

Those who have accepted the greenhouse gas theory (GHGT) as true believe in it and will not accept arguments that try to discredit their arguments as valid. People believe what they want to believe finding reason to support their beliefs and finding excuses to discredit contrary evidence.

Joseph Postma may have a compelling argument that the flat Earth model is invalid but that does not change their belief. (Scientists accept the diagram for Einstein’s general relativity even though it is a fraud.

If you are going to depict the four dimensional space time continuum as a two dimensional plane you cannot depict a mass as a three dimensional object somehow causing a fifth dimension distortion in the four dimensional plane.)

If they ever become convinced that their model is wrong they will develop a new model to maintain their faith. The arguments that CO2 is such a miniscule part of the atmosphere that it could not possibly produce the effects they are claiming are to them just an opinion.

The only way to convince them that the theory is nonsense is to show them that it conflicts with a belief that is more true in their eyes.

The fundamental belief of the GHGT is that the surface of the Earth is radiating heat into space and green house gases are preventing or slowing the loss of heat by the Earth causing it to become warmer. This belief comes from temperature readings that show the surface of the Earth is warmer than the atmosphere above it.

Temperature is a reading from an instrument and is not the same as heat or kinetic energy. All objects above absolute zero radiate energy and all objects absorb radiated energy. Nothing radiates temperature. It is the acceptance of temperature as being equal to kinetic energy or heat that causes the problem.

Some believe the definition of temperature as the mean kinetic energy of the molecules being measured but this is clearly a bad definition.

It takes 80 calories to convert 1 gram of 0 C ice into 1 gram of 0 C water. It takes 100 calories to raise the temperature of 1 gram of 0 C water to 1 gram of 100 C water.

It takes 540 calories of energy to convert I gram of 100 C water into 1 gram of 100 C steam.

So of the 720 calories needed to convert 1 gram of 0 C ice into 1 gram of 100 C steam only 14 % of the energy causes a temperature increase.

The molecules of 0 C water clearly have more kinetic energy than the fixed molecules of 0 C ice.

The molecules of 100 C steam have 540 times the kinetic energy of 100 C water.

Because of changes in state temperature is not an accurate measurement of kinetic energy. All compounds, whether it is water, nitrogen gas, oxygen, CO2, or other substances have heat of crystallization and heat of evaporation where added energy does not produce higher temperatures.

A thermometer has a set area that is to be exposed to the medium being measured. This means that any change of reading is a result of a change in kinetic energy or heat being transmitted to the thermometer. This is not true in a gas.

When energy is added to an unconfined gas the gas expands and there are fewer molecules transferring heat to the thermometer. In a gas instead of one variable, kinetic energy, causing the reading there are two, kinetic energy and the number of molecules transferring the heat.

At sea level for every 1000 molecules in a liquid transferring energy to the thermometer there is one molecule transferring heat in a gas. When a gas is heated, the number of molecules striking the thermometer decreases, causing the measurement to become even more inaccurate.

A thermometer does not give an accurate reading on the kinetic energy of an unconfined gas like the atmosphere. When people talk about an expanding gas cooling it is not because the kinetic energy of the molecules has changed but because there are fewer molecules transferring heat to the thermometer.

In order to get an accurate indication of the kinetic energy of an unconfined gas you must use the ideal gas law, PV=nkt.

The kinetic energy (t) of the gas molecules is equal to PV/nk.

Since the pressure of an unconfined gas doesn’t change the kinetic energy of the gas molecules is proportional to the inverse of the density of the gas (the volume of a constant number of molecules instead of the number of molecules for a set volume.).

In the atmosphere pressure (P) is from gravity and doesn’t change significantly from the top of the atmosphere (d = 64060 km) to the surface of the Earth (d = 64000 km.).

If you accept that the temperature at sea level is 15 C you can use the inverse of density at different altitudes to determine the kinetic energy of the molecules at that altitude.

When this is done you find that at the altitude where airplanes fly (10 km) the kinetic energy of molecules is such that water will be a liquid not ice as predicted by a thermometer.

Temperature increases at a steady rate with altitude until the top of the troposphere where the boiling point of water is reached. After this point the temperature increase accelerates as there is no energy being consumed by changing water to steam.

This shows that the source of heat for the Earth is the sun and there is no energy source floating in the atmosphere at 50 km causing a spike in temperature.

When you add energy to an unconfined gas it expands becoming less dense and rises. The density of the atmosphere decreases with increasing altitude showing the molecules are getting hotter.

Now for the believers in the GHGT you can chose to continue your belief and deny the laws of thermodynamics where energy flows from objects with more energy to objects with less energy or believe that thermodynamics is a more fundamentally believable than Al Gore.

You can accept that somehow water, which is a great absorber and transmitter of heat reflects heat back to the Earth at night (even though its temperature is -50 C) rather then that the water is transmitting heat form the hotter molecules higher in the atmosphere to the surface of the Earth.

Why do CO2 lag behind temperature?

71% of the earth is covered by ocean, water is a 1000 times denser than air and the mass of the oceans are 360 times that of the atmosphere, small temperature changes in the oceans doesn’t only modulate air temperature, but it also affect the CO2 level according to Henry’s Law.

The reason it is called “Law” is because it has been “proven”!

“.. scientific laws describe phenomena that the scientific community has found to be provably true ..”

That means, the graph proves CO2 do not control temperature, that again proves (Man Made) Global Warming, now called “Climate Change” due to lack of … Warming is – again – debunked!
