Words escape me.....
Yeah, I’m a “critical thinker” alright.
That’s why I know libs are insane...this one is no exception.
He can take his “climate change” and shove it straight up his azz....sideways.
“Global Warming deniers are not critical thinkers”
“Who do you consider to be critical thinkers?”
“People who agree with me”
Nobody denies that climate can and does change, may even be changing as I write this.
But long-term climate change tends to respond to many contradictory forces, some cancelling out or even reversing the effects of others. To somehow imagine that the efforts of mankind are so overpowering, so massive, that all other factors are totally swamped, is very near the height of arrogance. And the engine of this “change” is supposed to be carbon dioxide?
Carbon dioxide has about the same heat trapping capability of water vapor. But water vapor is part of a cycle that carbon dioxide cannot come close to replicating under terrestrial conditions. For dihydrogen oxide, or the water molecule, something called the “triple point” at which the solid form, ice, the liquid form, which we commonly call water, and the gaseous form, water vapor, allows all three to exist simultaneously. There are vast differences in the heat energy content of each of these forms, and passing from one of these forms to another either up or down either absorbs an enormous amount of energy, or releases it to the surroundings.
Carbon dioxide cannot do this, except under very special conditions. The freeze point of CO2, when it become solid, is well below the range of temperatures commonly observed at or near the earth’s surface, and the liquid form cannot exist at all in earth’s atmosphere. Thus all the carbon dioxide we ever encounter will be in a gaseous state, or combined into a class of chemical compounds known as carbonates, such as calcium carbonate (limestone).
Go back and check your high school chemistry classes again. It is all explained much more thoroughly and in depth there, if chemistry is even taught at the high school level any more.
