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...
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...
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".
1361 watts / m^2 incoming radiation hits outer Atmosphere and spreads out around the "half sphere" to deliver an "actual" 342 Watts/ m^2 to the Earth's atmosphere. ( 1361 / 4 = 340). Conversion of flat disc to a sphere). Image below shows "reality" rays disperse over a 3 dimensional curving surface.
"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...
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...
If you start googling the word energy you'd be amazed at the information that will come back to you. Energy is a generic term that is progressively split into more specific forms depending on the discipline of science that you are working within. If you can get past the notions of "force, work, power, distance, amps, watts, newtons, ergs,...
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..
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...
