This is fictitious, fiddled physics because the Stefan-Boltzmann calculations are based on the integral of a single Planck function. Likewise Wien's Displacement Law (which relates temperature inversely to the peak wavelenghth) would not give the right temperature. The Sun's radiation is insufficient to explain the mean surface temperature, whilst atmospheric radiation is merely pseudo scattered, this explaining the well-known fact that it does not penetrate water by more than a few nanometers. <b>For any planet with a significant atmosphere, radiation of any form is not the primary determinant of the surface temperature.</b> For what happens see http://climate-change-theory.com.<br />D Cottonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-286008897158432594.post-13482298460056489962014-10-24T18:35:02.660-04:002014-10-24T18:35:02.660-04:00Mr. Kalmanovich I have been into astronomy and pla...Mr. Kalmanovich I have been into astronomy and planetary science in the 70's as a hobby. I am now retired but I believe global warming is taking place. I wonder if you or any of your peers have considered the increase in population and the subsequent decrease in the amount of water found on our land masses; after all, the population has roughly doubled since the 70's and since the human body contains 65-67% water, if you multiply this times 3.5 billion you get a significant amount of water contained in human beings. I consider the climate change issue to be valid, even if the models are not entirely correct, the actions we take do have a positive impact on our environment.Dougnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-286008897158432594.post-49486534283818075362014-04-25T04:33:53.640-04:002014-04-25T04:33:53.640-04:00This article is great but you have to remove the p...This article is great but you have to remove the part that says <br /><br />"Sea water is also already saturated with the carbonate ion and therefore CO2 additions from the atmosphere to the oceans (another impossibility) will not change the concentration of carbonic acid which is already at its maximum."<br /><br />Sea water is far from saturated with CO2. A bottle of soda pop is saturated with CO2. When you look at a glass of sea water, do you see any bubbles? <br /><br />Please edit that part.

Consider a greenhouse gas absorbing at 11 mm, in the atmospheric window ( Figure 7-8 ). Injecting such a gas into the atmosphere would decrease the radiation emitted to space at 11 mm (since this radiation would now be emitted by the cold atmosphere rather than by the warm surface). In order to maintain a constant terrestrial blackbody emission integrated over all wavelengths, it would be necessary to increase the emission flux in other regions of the spectrum and thus warm the Earth. Contrast this situation to a greenhouse gas absorbing solely at 15 mm, in the CO2 absorption band ( Figure 7-8 ). At that wavelength the atmospheric column is already opaque ( Figure 7-13 ), and injecting an additional atmospheric absorber has no significant greenhouse effect.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-286008897158432594.post-61036602088553579652014-02-22T12:11:47.111-05:002014-02-22T12:11:47.111-05:00spot on, even Harvard agrees.

Let me assure you that I have no doubt in your scientific principals, your intellect, or your credentials, and I do not have the capability to disprove your results in any way, shape, or form. <br /><br />That being said, I do still believe in global warming... or maybe I should just call it global change. Planetary evolution, by it's own natural cycles. I just want to point out that science also says that bees should not be able to fly, but "ouch!", they sure do.

For him as a narcissist, everyone else is one also -- a self-validating theory that keeps his 'brand' of NPD intact and popular to read about as the expert in-house web narcissist.<br /><br />Vakin's a poisonous jokester, since we all recognized that Saddam Hussein and Shrub were a matching pair of Malignant Narcissists. It would take a lot to top those two.
