Question for JPP Climate Enthusiasts

If they truly said that then they are stupid and careless for saying it.

I bet they were taken out of context though, by the sources that were quoted.

What I have heard some candidates say is we better start making changes now, because in 12 years or so, it may be too late to turn things back!

Now wait a minute; because you originally said:;

No one said the earth is going to end in 12 years idiot!.

You are a boldface liar!

And now you're saying they're idiots for saying it, so do you always just emote on your feelings or do you ever take the time to quantify your assumptions??
 
How about US NEWS??

I could be belive what they quote as true.

However even if she did say it, she is a freshman congressman lady and rookies are subject to gaffs!

Donald Trump gaffs every time he says climate change is a hoax! And he is the president.

The earth is warming, and climate change is not a hoax- regardless as to whether man is causing it- or not!

So Donald Trump is an idiot for saying it's a hoax!
 
Yes you can lol.
No, you can't.
Blankets work for a reason: they *slow* the transfer of heat from a warm body to a cold body.
No, they don't. They reduce conductive heat.
Water vapor in the atmosphere slows the loss of heat from the warm body [earth] to the cold body [space] based on the same principle.
WRONG. Earth does not heat nearby space via conduction. The only way for Earth to lose heat is by radiance.
* You can't trap light.
Water vapor conducts heat quite well, but it doesn't conduct it into space. The only thing that conducts heat better is CO2.
The reason daytime temps in the desert can reach a 100 degrees but fall drastically at night is because the air is so dry.
WRONG. The deserts have a wide temperature range because they are not a nearby ocean. Water has a high specific heat index. Areas near oceans tend to have more moderate temperatures, even deserts near oceans.
But when it’s that hot in Atlanta during the day, the nights are miserable on account of the humidity [water vapor] in the air.
You are discussing your body's ability to lose heat by evaporation. This has nothing to do with the heat lost by the Earth. Irrelevance fallacy.
It slows the transfer of heat to space.
* You can't trap or slow heat.
* You can't trap light.
You’re not conceding anything to the Climate Enthusiasts by allowing for the existence of Green House gases.
Irrelevant. There are no 'greenhouse gases'.
Carbon dioxide just isn’t a climatologically important constituent of the atmosphere no matter how desperately they try and make it one. Carbon dioxide IS biologically important though: life couldn’t exist without it.
CO2 has nothing whatsoever to do with climate. There is no such thing as a global climate either. Earth has many climates.

No, he is using "climate change" in its religious context.
 
So that is your long-winded way of saying that >>

You have no training or expertise in atmospheric science.
You do not have a Ph.D in atmospheric science.
You do not conduct original research in climate science.
You have no peer reviewed publications in science journal.
At best, you have read some blog articles about climate.

That's all I needed to know. You do not have the training, expertise, or knowledge for me to put the slightest weight on anything you say about this topic. And therefore, a complete waste of my time to indulge your assertions, claims, and postulations.

Science isn't training. Science isn't a university degree. Science isn't a research or a study. It does not use peer review. There is no elite voting bloc in science. Science isn't a magazine or a journal. Climate is a subjective word. It is unquantifiable. I don't need to read a blog to know that.

You simply choose to ignore the 1st and 2nd laws of thermodynamics and the Stefan-Boltzmann law. You deny science.

Your time is not valuable.
 
While I have a preference for terms/concepts the common man understands, technically, blankets slow convection currents.
No. Blankets REDUCE convection and conduction. You cannot slow or trap heat. A perfect insulator (if you could ever find one) means heat is zero. A box made of this perfect insulator means the inside of the box cannot be heated (heat is zero) and it cannot be cooled (heat is zero). The inside of that box will be whatever temperature it was when you closed the box...forever.
And I'm guessing Into the Night prefers the technically correct terms "reflect" or "radiate" over "trap". He likes to be precise.
That I do. Neither reflection nor radiance is trapping anything either.
 
I could be belive what they quote as true.

WELL, my link was to US NEWS; so what you have to say now?? :D

So, the earth is warming; therefore, socialism is inevitable?
 
No, you can't.

No, they don't. They reduce conductive heat.

CO2 has nothing whatsoever to do with climate. There is no such thing as a global climate either. Earth has many climates.

On that we agree.

So, why are the coldest nights of Winter cloudless—if the water vapor isn’t slowing down the heat [thermal energy] transfer on cloudy nights?
 
I admit to being stronger in biology than physics lol.

Finer points aside, are you and Into suggesting there’s no such things as a greenhouse gas?

I am not suggesting it all. I am saying it, plain and simple. There is no such thing as a 'greenhouse' gas.

To raise the temperature of the Earth, additional energy is needed.

* No gas or vapor is a source of energy.
* The output of the Sun hasn't changed appreciably.
* You can't make energy out of nothing.
* It is not possible to slow or trap heat.
* It is not possible to trap thermal energy. There is always heat.
* It is not possible to trap light.
* It is not possible to reduce the radiance of Earth (by limiting the escape of infrared light) and increase its energy at the same time.

No gas or vapor in the atmosphere acts like a Magick Blanket. Heat to and from space is by radiance, not by conduction or convection. The ONLY way the Sun can heat the Earth is by radiance. The ONLY way the Earth can lose heat to space is by radiance.

CO2, water, methane, etc. do absorb infrared light. It is just the same as if the surface heated the atmosphere by conduction. It's just another way for the surface to be cooled by heating the atmosphere. Whether it's done by conduction or radiance it is the same.

Absorption of infrared from the surface does not warm the Earth. ALL of it, the surface, the CO2, the methane, the water, ALL of it radiates into space.

Define 'climate change'. It is a meaningless phrase. Until you define 'climate change', it's a hoax.
 
On that we agree.

So, why are the coldest nights of Winter cloudless—if the water vapor isn’t slowing down the heat [thermal energy] transfer on cloudy nights?

They aren't.

Temperature is a function of the air mass you happen to be standing in. If air is saturated with moisture and is then cooled, you will get clouds. Clouds are a result of the temperature of the air, not the reverse. Since colder air is more easily saturated, warmer air can hold more total moisture, producing thicker clouds and more likely clouds when cooled (such as when that air rises).

Air coming in from the oceans tends to have more moisture in it. (Fresh from ocean!)

Water vapor is not a cloud. Clouds are liquid water (or ice). Water vapor must be condensed out of the air to form visible clouds. When the cloud gets thick enough, it begins to rain (or snow).

This is why you tend to get more violent thunderstorms during summer. It IS possible to get thundersnow, but it's rare.

So while it may appear to cause more moderate temperatures, it is the nearby ocean doing that, not the clouds.
