Spain's 117 Degree Summertime as Climate Change Worsens

[cancel2 2022]

It can't. Once a photon is absorbed, it is DESTROYED. It is NOT re-radiated.

Poor Fourier. You are going to misquote him AGAIN.

You can't discard the laws of thermodynamics, dude.

It is not possible to measure the temperature of the Earth.

The temperature of Earth is unknown.

No. No gas or vapor has the capability to create energy out of nothing. You are ignoring the 1st law of thermodynamics again.

The temperature of Earth is unknown.

It is not possible to trap heat.

No. You cannot reduce entropy...ever. See the 2nd law of thermodynamics.

There is no '2nd process'.

No. You cannot create energy out of nothing. You cannot reduce entropy. You are AGAIN ignoring the 1st and 2nd laws of thermodynamics. You are also attempting to trap light. That is ignoring the Stefan-Boltzmann law.

* You cannot trap heat.
* You cannot trap light.
* You cannot trap thermal energy. There is always heat.
* You cannot create energy out of nothing.
* You cannot reduce entropy.


Which reduces heat.

There is no glass around the Earth. You cannot trap light. You cannot trap heat. You cannot trap thermal energy. You cannot reduce entropy for any reason. You cannot ignore the 1st and 2nd laws of thermodynamics and the Stefan-Boltzmann law.

No.

You cannot ignore the 1st law of thermodynamics: E(t+1) = E(t) - U where 'E' is energy, 't' is time, and 'U' is work. You cannot create energy out of nothing. If no work is being put into increasing energy IT CAN'T INCREASE.
You cannot ignore the 2nd law of thermodynamics: e(t+1) >= e(t) where 'e' is entropy and 't' is time. You cannot reduce entropy ever. You cannot set aside this law for even a moment. There is no sequence. YOU CAN'T TRAP HEAT and you CANNOT TRAP THERMAL ENERGY.
You cannot ignore the Stefan-Boltzmann law: r = C*e*t^4 where 'r' is radiance per square area, 'C' is a natural constant, 'e' is a measured constant known as emissivity, or how well a surface radiates light, and 't' is temperature in deg K. IF TEMPERATURE INCREASES, RADIANCE GOES UP. NOT DOWN. Conversion of thermal energy to light cools the surface.
You are also ignoring Planck's laws. Not all photons are the same. You are treating them as if they are all the same, and as if they are indestructable.

No gas or vapor is capable of setting aside any of these laws. There is no magick gas.

You cannot trap light. You cannot trap thermal energy. You cannot trap heat. YOU CANNOT DO IT. There is no magick gas.

I'd love to know where you went to school, that's some seriously fucked up shit. Maybe you ought to update your physics knowledge to the 20th century rather than the 19th century?

Molecules of carbon dioxide (CO2) can absorb energy from infrared (IR) radiation. This animation shows a molecule of CO2 absorbing an incoming infrared photon (yellow arrows). The energy from the photon causes the CO2 molecule to vibrate. Some time later, the molecule gives up this extra energy by emitting another infrared photon. Once the extra energy has been removed by the emitted photon, the carbon dioxide molecule stops vibrating.

This animation is somewhat of a simplification. Molecules are constantly in motion, colliding with other gas molecules and transferring energy from one molecule to another during collisions. In the more-complex, real-world process, a CO2 molecule would most likely bump into several other gas molecules before re-emitting the infrared photon. The CO2 molecule might transfer the energy it gained from the absorbed photon to another molecule, adding speed to that molecule's motion. Since the temperature of a gas is a measure of the speed of the molecules in the gas, the faster motion of a molecule that eventually results from the IR photon that was absorbed by a CO2 molecule raises the temperature of the gases in the atmosphere.

Do all gas molecules absorb and re-emit infrared energy?
This ability to absorb and re-emit infrared energy is what makes CO2 an effective heat-trapping greenhouse gas. Not all gas molecules are able to absorb IR radiation. For example, nitrogen (N2) and oxygen (O2), which make up more than 90% of Earth's atmosphere, do not absorb infrared photons. CO2 molecules can vibrate in ways that simpler nitrogen and oxygen molecules cannot, which allows CO2 molecules to capture the IR photons.

Greenhouse gases and the greenhouse effect play an important role in Earth's climate. Without greenhouse gases, our planet would be a frozen ball of ice. In recent years, however, excess emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases from human activities (mostly burning fossil fuels) have begun to warm Earth's climate at a problematic rate. Other significant greenhouse gases include water vapor (H2O), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O) and ozone (O3).

You bummed that climate change-denial looks more & more ridiculous as time goes on?

His lies and denials should ensure that he's hunted down as the death toll from global warming rises into the hundreds of thousands- and then the millions.

It is very interesting that solar panels are melting in the heat.

These fuckers literally have no idea what they are doing!

They aren't. They are made of silicon crystal.

I'd love to know where you went to school, that's some seriously fucked up shit.

LIF. You are describing yourself. I will again deal with your religious tripe you call 'science'.

Maybe you ought to update your physics knowledge to the 20th century rather than the 19th century?

This from the guy denying physics.

Molecules of carbon dioxide (CO2) can absorb energy from infrared (IR) radiation.

Yes. So?

This animation shows a molecule of CO2 absorbing an incoming infrared photon (yellow arrows). The energy from the photon causes the CO2 molecule to vibrate. Some time later, the molecule gives up this extra energy by emitting another infrared photon. Once the extra energy has been removed by the emitted photon, the carbon dioxide molecule stops vibrating.

CO2 does not stop vibrating. It never reaches zero deg K.

This animation is somewhat of a simplification. Molecules are constantly in motion, colliding with other gas molecules and transferring energy from one molecule to another during collisions. In the more-complex, real-world process, a CO2 molecule would most likely bump into several other gas molecules before re-emitting the infrared photon.

So conductive heat occurs. So?

The CO2 molecule might transfer the energy it gained from the absorbed photon to another molecule, adding speed to that molecule's motion.

So conductive heat occurs. So?

Since the temperature of a gas is a measure of the speed of the molecules in the gas,

No, it isn't. You are now denying the 0th law of thermodynamics, which defines the concept of temperature. Temperature is the AVERAGE thermal energy of a substance. Not the TOTAL thermal energy.

the faster motion of a molecule that eventually results from the IR photon that was absorbed by a CO2 molecule raises the temperature of the gases in the atmosphere.

Yes. So?

Do all gas molecules absorb and re-emit infrared energy?

They absorb infrared light. They also emit infrared light according to the Stefan-Boltzmann law.

This ability to absorb and re-emit infrared energy is what makes CO2 an effective heat-trapping greenhouse gas.

You cannot trap heat. Heat has no temperature. See the 2nd law of thermodynamics, which defines the concept of heat.

Not all gas molecules are able to absorb IR radiation.

All gas molecules can absorb infrared light.

For example, nitrogen (N2) and oxygen (O2), which make up more than 90% of Earth's atmosphere, do not absorb infrared photons.

They both absorb infrared light.

CO2 molecules can vibrate in ways that simpler nitrogen and oxygen molecules cannot, which allows CO2 molecules to capture the IR photons.

All gases can 'capture' IR photons. All gases can absorb infrared light.

Greenhouse gases and the greenhouse effect play an important role in Earth's climate.

There is no such thing as a 'greenhouse gas' except in the Church of Global Warming. There is no such thing as a global climate. Earth has many climates. Climate has no value associated with it. You are confusing 'climate' with 'temperature'. They are not the same thing.

Without greenhouse gases, our planet would be a frozen ball of ice.

No. You cannot create energy out of nothing. See the 1st law of thermodynamics.

In recent years, however, excess emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases

There is no such thing as a 'greenhouse gas'.

from human activities (mostly burning fossil fuels)

Fossils aren't used as fuel.

have begun to warm Earth's climate at a problematic rate.

Climate has no temperature. There is no global climate. It is not possible to measure the temperature of Earth. No gas or vapor has the capability to warm the Earth. You cannot reduce entropy.

Other significant greenhouse gases include water vapor (H2O),

Water vapor is not a gas. It has no magick ability to create energy out of nothing.

methane (CH4),

Methane is a gas. It has no magick ability to create energy out of nothing. The only way get can warm something with methane is to burn it.

nitrous oxide (N2O)

Nitrous oxide has no magick ability to warm the Earth.

and ozone (O3).

Wait...what??? So you NOT a believer in the Church of the Ozone Hole, but you ARE a believer in the Church of Global Warming???????!?

No. You cannot warm the Earth with a colder gas. You cannot reduce entropy.

Extreme fundamentalism. No one has died from the Church of Global Warming unless someone from the Church of Global Warming killed them.

Heat wave kills more than 2,000 people in Spain and Portugal

Over 2,000 people have died in Spain and Portugal from heat-related causes over roughly a week as an unprecedented heat wave moves through Europe.

Driving the news: The ongoing heat wave could last a total of several weeks and has been accompanied by wildfires in the United Kingdom, France, Spain and Portugal, forcing thousands of people to flee their homes.

Nothing new.

It was over 100 degrees for a week when I lived in Spain.

 

[martin]

"The maximum temperature reached Tuesday in Coningsby, England — 130 miles north of London — was unlike anything the village had ever observed. It was an outlier in the truest sense: about 9 degrees Fahrenheit (5 degrees Celsius) above the previous highest temperature.

That high temperature, 104.5 degrees (40.3 Celsius), shattered the national temperature record for Britain by a lofty 2.9 degrees (1.6 Celsius).

Ordinarily, when temperature records are broken during heat waves, they do so in a few places and by fractional degrees. But on Tuesday, records in the United Kingdom toppled over a vast area and by enormous margins.

The magnitude and extent of Tuesday’s temperatures underscored the exceptional nature of this extreme event — which scientists say would have been impossible without a boost from human-caused climate change."

It's new. The climate is changing.
