Now it’s become obvious. While greenhouse gases are confirmed to bottle up the heat emanating from the Earth’s surface, they also at the same time reflect much heat from the Sun back into space. Hence, equilibirum or even slight cooling.
We’ve known for a very very long time here on FR that the whole subject of global warming aka climate change and AGW is a Lysenko-like motivated political movement designed to create a revenue stream for a one world government that would control and regulate the atmosphere, the oceans, seas, lakes, streams and landmass.
We took the heat for challenging global warming as junk science led by Nobel prize winning morons such as Al Gore.
And now finally the truth emerges.
We are vindicated.
You might want to take a look at the footnote on the original story about the study:
Footnote: (1) No one on Earth’s surface would have felt this impulse of heat. Mlynczak puts it into perspective: “Heat radiated by the solid body of the Earth is very large compared to the amount of heat being exchanged in the upper atmosphere. The daily average infrared radiation from the entire planet is 240 W/m2—enough to power NYC for 200,000 years.”
The real polluters and greenhouse gas emitters are in Asia. Pollution will be taken more seriously by China, because they have to, but they would never target abstract greenhouse gas levels at the cost of growth. Nor would anyone else in Asia.
This leaves Obama and the lilly white Al Gore/Unabomber wing of the democrat party left. Obama will never admit failure, he will keep "investing" in failure until his term ends. But after that, I don't think anyone except the Unabomber wing to bring it up anymore.
Well, clearly CO2 is a John Kerry molecule. It heats the atmosphere before it cools it.
IDIOTS!
4/100ths of a percent of CO2 in the atmosphere isn’t enough to affect it either way.
So where exactly is this mysterious CO2 greenhouse layer?
If it’s up high, why does it stay up there? It’s heavy and it should sink to the ground.
If the CO2 layer is on the ground (where plants can access it) how the hell could it affect either cooling or warming?
IDIOTS!
The liberal mind has a hard time accepting reality, and will totally ignore this.
Well, I’m a scientific ignoramus. But I sure hope it’s true!
It’s complicated. ;-)
Gee, what shock.
.
So, back to Global Cooling then? Got it.
On this particular subject, WattsUpWithThat talks about how they misunderstand this NASA press release. A misinterpreted claim about a NASA press release, CO2, solar flares, and the thermosphere is making the rounds
Oh no! Now we’ll have to park our expensive electric cars and buy old clunkers that pollute, but put out plenty of lovely carbon emissions to SAVE THE PLANET.
Better we can’t breathe than die from man made global warming due to curbing carbon emissions. [sarcasm\]
Isn’t it about time that we let the Great Watchmaker in the Sky worry about the mechanics of the universe?
I have no scientific training outside of what I needed for high school and college engineering classes.
BUT.
It is scientifically not sound to believe carbon dioxide warms the planet. If that was true, then the natural increase of CO2 from the oceans and from volcanos would create ever-increasing temperatures and our planet would simply burn up.
It makes much more sense that the releases of CO2 from the oceans in response to increasing atmospheric temperatures, has a cooling effect, buffering us from ever-increasing temperatures.
We know that the earth has temperature buffers that keep the atmosphere in a fairly narrow range, between ice ages and warming period. This is cyclic and regular. So there must be a buffer system.
The evil commies that want to control us using environmental cataclysm as an excuse, are more than willing to turn scientific fact on its head and spew that lie that CO2 warms the earth.
Even to a numbskull like me, it makes no scientific sense or the earth long ago would have shot up in temperature irreversibly as more CO2 saturated the atmosphere.
It is like the abortion argument - a 5 year old can tell you that killing the baby in mommy’s tummy is murder. It takes a lot of brainwashing to convince grown adults that killing a baby is just “terminating a fetus”.
Same with globull warming.
What gets me is how so many American’s have fallen for both lies. Not that I’m surprised by it.
“No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public,” HL Mencken.
I agree. I was reading a few of the other articles after I posted this, and noticed some pretty bad references. This is the first I have noticed this website.
