My reply:
Another disgraceful article from P-S by Herb Rose, a truly zany Looney Tunes crackpot scientist. I normally ignore them, but this time I made an exception. Let me put my boots on.
[[The temperature the thermometer registers is defined as the mean kinetic energy of the medium being measured, but this is not always true. What the thermometer measures is the momentum of the molecules striking it.]]
A thermometer doesn’t measure the momentum of anything. Momentum is m * v. It measures kinetic energy, which is m * v^2, apples and oranges, but only indirectly.
Actually a thermometer measures heat transfer by establishing thermal equilibrium between its mercury content and the fluid it is immersed in. Mercury in tiny capillaries expands linearly with temperature, permitting a scale to be printed on the outside. This is called calorimetry. The real definition of heat is far more subtle than Rose’s 5th grader definition. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat
“Though not immediately by the definition, but in special kinds of process, quantity of energy transferred as heat can be measured by its effect on the states of interacting bodies. For example, respectively in special circumstances, heat transfer can be measured by the amount of ice melted, or by change in temperature of a body in the surroundings of the system. Such methods are called calorimetry. ”
[[When an object moves it creates a disturbance in the electric and magnet fields surrounding it. The wavelength of this disturbance is determined by the velocity of the object, the greater the velocity of the object the shorter its wavelength and the greater its energy. This is how an object loses energy by radiation.]]
Radiation absorption has nothing to do with it. Only charged particles do that It’s called Liénard–Wiechert potential. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Li%C3%A9nard%E2%80%93Wiechert_potential
[[What energy an object absorbs from radiation is determined by the materials it is made from, with different materials absorbing different wavelengths.]]
How lame can you get? All black bodies absorb and emit all wavelengths. Only polar gas molecules absorb and emit in certain wavelength bands. That’s the basis of Earth climate science. I guess Rose wasn’t in class the day they taught that in 5th grade.
I wonder if Rose can even do calculus, or even trigonometry. It doesn’t seem likely. Yet he portrays himself as the next Einstein. Why does P-S disgrace itself by featuring his crackpot articles? The IPCC octopus has long been claiming that P-S is a pseudoscience rag, and it’s playing into their hands despite being right on the CO2 global warming issue. Is P-S falling into the trap of printing every crackpot’s zany Looney Tunes theories just because he says the greenhouse warming theory is wrong?
The IPCC has hijacked Big Science, leaving real science to a motley crew of independents, who ironically are the only people doing real research into the causes of Earth’s climate, CO2 not being one of them. It’s hard enough to be right in the IPCC’s world, but let’s not shoot ourselves in the foot.
