Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide is under attack throughout the world today through a constant onslaught of dire messages being thrown at the public by politicians, influencers, industry giants, media outlets, tribal believers, science communities, government organizations (NASA, NOAA).
World leaders are just so darn confident aren't they? - Climate Change is upon us and burning fossil fuels is the cause of it. They've accepted this meme with all their hearts and have vowed to do everything in their power to stop climate change by eliminating the production of C02 through human activities that involve burning stuff.
OK guys, time to bear down and put this ridiculous Greenhouse Warming Theory to rest. Remember the Earth Balance chart shown below? You know, the one that shows Infrared Radiation coming back to Earth after running into a mass of Carbon Dioxide floating around in the Atmosphere. Well, it ain't true..
"Global Mean Annual Near-Surface Equilibrium Temperature"
Several months ago, I became interested in the Global Warming controversy and in doing so I realized that it wasn't enough to just say I was a "believer" or a "denier". I realized that I really knew nothing about the science that supports this philosophy mostly because I was putting my faith in the purveyors of mainstream media news to...
Earth's Climate - is not a "cause and effect" phenomenon as so many of our power seeking politicians and pseudo scientists want to have us believe. It is extremely complex, far beyond the ability for any of today's computer systems to model even with the enormous calculating power that they now have. The variables are numerous and complex,...
Did you know that Air has weight? The most common definition of weight found in introductory physics textbooks defines weight as the force exerted on a body by gravity. This is often expressed in the formula W = mg, where W is the weight, m the mass of the object, and g gravitational acceleration.
The World is saying that fossil fuel based Carbon Dioxide emissions are causing global warming. Are they? Is the Planet temperature increasing because Carbon Dioxide (from man's behaviour) is increasing or is it the opposite - Is Carbon Dioxide increasing because Planet temperature is rising?
Looking at the Greenhouse Effect without a control is kind of meaningless. Luckily we can look at Earth compared to a planet (Venus) that is 97% C02 and with an atmosphere that is extremely dense compared to Earth. We can also look at a planet (Mars) that is 95% C02 and with an atmosphere that is extremely thin compared to...
The Beaufort Gyre, a key Arctic Ocean current, is acting strangely. Scientists say it may be on the verge of discharging a huge amount of ice and cold freshwater that could kick off a period of lower temperatures in northern Europe.
It's fairly simple really. When solar activity is high the Jet Stream flows around our planet in a relatively stable straight line and the demarcation north is predominantly cool and icy whereas the southerly regions are predominantly warm and dry. When solar activity is low, along with a faster rotating Earth, the Jet Stream becomes unstable and...
Solar Heat beaming down on Earth's surface blanketed by a thick atmosphere of air and water that "insulates" us from the blackness above. How do we warm up? Cool down? Does the greenhouse gas effect really exist or are Earth's thermodynamics explained by known Science?
The Covid based shutdown of World economy during the spring of 2020 has prompted one of Canada's most erstwhile politicians, Elizabeth May, to proclaim that the fossil fuel industry is dead and that we need to prepare for a new era in which we rely on green based energy systems to deliver all of our nation's energy needs.
Why do we care? - a key component of the Global Warming Greenhouse Effect theory is accepting that atmospheric carbon dioxide absorbs the IR radiated from Earth and then somehow returns it or holds it as a warm "blanket" that prevents the heat from getting into space. It is proven fact that carbon dioxide can indeed absorb long wave...
Take a look at bullet #21 in this marker piece debunking C02 warming by showing Earth responds to the Sun. ie. "the climate we experience today was initiated by changes in the Sun cycle 85 years ago. The delay in expressing those changes as a "warming or cooling" of our climate is due to a buffering effect by the...
We're all fixated on Carbon Dioxide on our Earth. We have given it magical powers of heat capture, retention and throwback radiation into the hard surfaces that expel it during our dark hours. We ignore the fact that it is a trace gas (.04%), that it's absorption range in not in the bandwidths produced by a "warm" Earth, that...
We're being told to eliminate our use of fossil fuels because they produce atmospheric carbon dioxide (C02) that progressively warms the Earth through a blanketing effect that holds expelled heat close to the Earth's surface and slowly raises its temperature. Classically the phenomenon is called the "greenhouse effect".
Physicists are a strange breed (they are going to cringe at this post). They are brilliant no doubt, but when it comes to explaining things to the rest of us who are not brilliant they really do a lousy job. A prime example is spectrum charts. The majority of spectrum charts show a y axis with some kind of intensity...
Man made C02 based global warming is all about the magical properties of "the little molecule that could ! " After first giving carbon dioxide the magical properties of being able to absorb and hold excessive heat energy released by the Earth at night climate scientists now claim that over time this will cause a global temperature rise of such...
A USGS publication "Cycles of Hurricane Landfalls on the Eastern United States Linked to Changes in Atlantic Sea-surface Temperatures" [https://pubs.usgs.gov/circ/1306/pdf/c1306_ch2_a.pdf] states: "AMO variability is related to variation in density-driven, global ocean circulation patterns that involve movement of warm equatorial surface waters...
It is only in recent years that scientists are starting to recognize the influence of atmospheric and oceanic cycles in influencing climate.
This is an article published in CNN today. It is pure and utter bullshit (remember, I am a denier). It is tired, worn and inflammatory. It simply is not true. However, it does have value in that the authour has pretty much listed the complete spectrum of arguments and terror tactics being used by the alarmist movement today in...
"Quantum Physics, Radiant Chemistry, Thermodynamics, Photons, Quanta, Emissivity, Reflectance, Heat, Energy, Radiation, Irradiation, Electromagnetic waves, Frequency, Wavelength". All terms you are never going to hear on your local news report at five - ever. It's no wonder people can't make a decision on whether global warming is real or not. If...
It's Getting Hotter! If we keep up our bad habits bad things will happen! Do what I say and all will be O.K.! It's the hottest it's ever been! Heat wave over Europe! Drought! Melting! Flooding! Wind! Fire! Pestilence! Plague! For God's sake everyone.... Run!
This blog will be a collection of stories and references that relate to the formation of the global warming movement. In particular, I want to explore how it began and the motivations and actions of the characters (because they are just people) behind it all.
Want some advice? - don't try to understand global warming by researching it. I started this process months ago and the more I get into it the more I end up "going down the rabbit hole". There is so much information out there, so much argument for both sides, so much emotion and anger that it is almost impossible...
The Sun - Take a basketball and a black felt pen. Using the felt pen place a dot on the basketball. You have just created an effective visual representation of the relative size of our Sun versus the size of our Earth.
