  • Oops, Four Things That Baffle Me

    The man-made UN global warming scientists say that they have taken lots of ice cores and measured the CO2 in them and, yup, there's a big leap in CO2 after the industrial revolution.

    So it's all our fault.

    But, wait a minute, didn't the scientist who ran the UN research on changes in atmospheric composition say that, oops, the man-made global-warming scientists don't make corrections for the CO2 loss from the ice cores with time and changes in their composition with increased pressure and that when you make the necessary allowances there is no appreciable change in CO2 levels from what would have been in the ice cores from pre-industrial times!On Water vapor is indeed a powerful greenhouse gas, but there is plenty of room for CO2 to play a role posted 1 year, 7 months ago 29 Responses

  • Actually, There's A Third Thing That Baffles Me!

    Actually, there's a third thing that baffles me: some man-made global warmers admit that, yes, the earth warms up first, by some unknown, mysterious, mystery, unknown means. That heats up the earth. Which releases CO2. Which heats up the earth. Which heats up the earth more. In a feedback loop. So humans, putting even more CO2 into the atmosphere, heat up the earth even more.

    So it's all our fault.

    But, wait a minute, if they don't know what unknown, mysterious, mystery, unknown means caused the initial warming, how do they know the same unknown, mysterious, mystery, unknown means doesn't continue and cause the ongoing warming?

    Also, doesn't drops in CO2 levels lag drops in temperature.

    So the end and reversal of global warmings are also brought about by some unknown, mysterious, mystery, unknown means.

    So, if, basically, they don't know what unknown, mysterious, mystery, unknown means start global warming.

    And they don't know what unknown, mysterious, mystery, unknown means end global warming.

    How can they have a clue what unknown, mysterious, mystery, unknown means cause its increase in between the two?

    Never mind that man is the cause of it!On Water vapor is indeed a powerful greenhouse gas, but there is plenty of room for CO2 to play a role posted 1 year, 7 months ago 29 Responses

  • Feedback vs Forcing and Lagging

    And the other is statements such as:

    "Water vapor is a feedback, not a forcing. That is, the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere roughly depends on how warm it is from other causes - such as other greenhouse gases. Thus the percent of global warming attributable to water vapor is irrelevant, because warming from water vapor responds to other causes, and lags them.

    But, just a minute, don't even the man-made global warmers admit that, yes, while the graphs of temperature and CO2 levels look very similar, when you look at them in detail the CO2 changes lag the temperature changes.

    So doesn't that mean the CO2 is a feedback not a forcing?On Water vapor is indeed a powerful greenhouse gas, but there is plenty of room for CO2 to play a role posted 1 year, 7 months ago 29 Responses

  • Atmospheric Residence Time

    As a layman, two things baffle me here. Could someone explain them, fully, in layman's terms.

    The first is, how on earth does the atmospheric residence time affect anything if 95% or whatever of the global warming gases in the atmosphere are water vapour?

    If I take two bathtubs and fill one 95% full and leave the taps running so that the water going in is matched by the water going out of the overflow.

    And fill the other 5% full and turn the taps off and leave the original water in there for years.

    Why am I more likely to drown in the 5% full bath?!?!?!On Water vapor is indeed a powerful greenhouse gas, but there is plenty of room for CO2 to play a role posted 1 year, 7 months ago 29 Responses
