The Radiation Fight

My reply:

[[So there you have it. If you don’t think that downwelling LW radiation leaves the earth warmer than it would be if there was no atmosphere, you need to explain the mystery source of the additional energy necessary to keep the earth from freezing]]

Ugh! Yet another example of the fake physics lie that refuses to die.

Let's see: "If on an ongoing basis the surface is only absorbing 150 W/m2 of solar energy and is radiating 395 W/m2 of energy … why isn’t it frozen solid?"

Duh, because energy in the form of photons has wavelength, which has Planck temperature, and the solar photons are at 5500C while the surface photons are in the range of -50C to +50C. And the 150 value is bogus because it is a claimed average over a flattened globe over a whole year, while instantaneous values alone actually exist, and go way higher, to 1000 and higher.

The big killer for CO2 global warming is that out of all the photon wavelengths that Earth's surface radiates, atmospheric CO2 only absorbs and radiates at the wavelength of 15 microns, which has a Planck radiation temperature of -80C, completely outside the surface range. Thus it actually lets all the real surface heat photons pass through it untouched, and any 15 micron radiation it emits will be absorbed and reemitted over and over by other CO2 molecules until entropy harmlessly disperses it.

Speaking of entropy. Another big misunderstanding comes from failure to account for entropy. Planck black body radiation contains the maximum amount of entropy for a given amount of energy, which explains what happens to the energy from 5500C photons after they hit the Earth's surface, and turn into way more puny -50C to +50C photons, namely, dispersal by entropy into the Heat Death of the Universe. The Looney Tunes climate scientists who try to equate the T^4 radiation from the Sun with the T^4 radiation from Earth's surface seem to be missing that the two T values are way different, so raising them to the 4th power makes them even more different. Everything is running down and adding to the Heat Death of the Universe. Heat isn't cheap, it's dear, and only the Sun's radiation heats the Earth's surface, while the atmosphere just cools it, CO2 included, after dispersing more energy via convection.

As the world increasingly becomes a madhouse, it's all the fault of the global Marxist-run U.N. IPCC, which has hijacked physics for political purposes and created the upside-down inside-out backwards phony field of climate science that is nothing but a beehive of lies to justify extreme leftist environmentalism's visceral hatred of the oil industry. Nothing they say can be believed. There is no compromise. One must junk all of it and start over.

My growing body of students studying my free Climate Science 101 course are becoming the first real generation of climate scientists, who one day will replace the current generation of IPCC fake climate scientists. Don't be left behind.

What Is the Antarctic Volcanoes Project?

It's too bad the current brouhaha about CO2 is so narrowly focused. So what if a higher concentration in the atmosphere raises global average temps? If higher temps were accompanied by increased atmospheric moisture, it would even out around the world and turn it into a paradise planet, greening the deserts so that the teeming billions could be fed. Cold temperatures are inimical to life, not a goal of life.

Too bad, it might take a lot more CO2 than you think to really change the global weather, but not because it has any control over Earth's surface temperatures. In fact atmospheric CO2 can't melt an ice cube with its 15 micron main radiation wavelength that has a Planck radiation temperature of -80C, colder than dry ice (-78.5C).

Why do they call CO2 greenhouse gas? Because plants breathe it, and they pump it into greenhouses to help them grow and thrive. Polar regions and deserts look good in postcards, but who wants to live there. Meanwhile global pop. is zooming, so obviously the real answer is to pump more CO2 and water vapor into the atmosphere to turn the Earth into a greenhouse, turning deserts both hot and cold into lush green crop-growing regions like 35 million years ago when the avg. global temp was 88F and the CO2 level was 1K parts per million (vs. 415 PPM today). So what if we lose some desert polar regions and even some yummy coastline, the adjustments will be inconvenient but temporary, but I prefer shirt-sleeve weather to Frosty the Snowman. How many arctic animals can't adapt to a warmer climate? What animal needs to live in ice and snow and wouldn't like a vacation to Tahiti? They can lose the fat, hair or feathers.

The real question is can we make and keep the global CO2/H20 levels high enough, and for how long? Sooner or later mass global starvation will become unstoppable if world pop. keeps climbing, and this is the way to forestall it, if we act soon enough. Don't give me them Malthusian objections, give me some CO2/H20 solutions. I like a paradise Earth in the possibility window.

So, while the world is debating the horrors, extent or lack thereof of global warming caused by CO2, let's engineer the CO2/H20 solution to making the Earth a warm temperate planet from pole to pole with no deserts or ice wastelands, allowing vastly more food to be grown and turning poor nations rich. I DON'T mean a planet with wild swings between super-hot summers and super-cold winters, but one that is warmer than now everywhere, but moister and greener, with a giant network of plant life helping to avoid extremes. Since CO2 and water vapor are the keys, and the paltry amounts in the atmosphere need to be increased as soon as possible to turn deserts green and get the warming process off to a good start, but the new levels have to be maintained permanently, I'm looking to remote Antarctica (which is really a sea) as the most promising source for unlimited CO2 and water vapor generation, given that noxious emissions (sulfur dioxide, etc.) can be controlled.

This blog is for posting news on the world climate situation, scientific and political, along with my own articles. I'm sure it will start out with hardly any interest or followers, but I'm hoping that it will attract the smartest people eventually and in the end I hope for a global consensus that if it can be done it must be done.

So what is the Antarctic Volcanoes Project? My working idea is that an international effort to reactivate as many volcanoes in Antarctica as possible in an ideal location for distributing the CO2/H20 will produce the best and most cost-effective results. Sorry, one-worlders, it won't give you a license to override and control any country's economy, but if your country is suffering from lack of food you will be too busy expanding farming to care. Hence until I think of or hear about a better way to increase world CO2/H20 levels, this is my pet project. If you are a scientist, please climb aboard my AVP Express and let's make it happen.

It Would Be Funny If It Were's So Sad

It would be funny it weren't so sad, but when the scientists say "greenhouse gas" they are using a malaprop. It should be greenhouse GLASS, because that's why a greenhouse stays warm, by glass walls stopping convection of air and trapping heat. Yes, CO2 is pumped into greenhouses, but not for heating purposes, only to help plants BREATHE. So the whole sucker's game of "greenhouse gas" must truly be for the purpose of stopping more vegetation from growing and feeding the teeming billions. Is that their true goal? Another blip on the horizon is the promise of melting permafrost releasing gigantic amounts of CO2 from the Arctic not Antarctic sector. Let's hope we at least get some more good CO2 that way.
