you got your myths mixed up

The one discovered in the early 1800's and quantified in the later part of that century? Where water vapour provides around half the effect, maybe 75%? Still a myth?


I am not claiming there isn't a greenhouse effect, or that greenhouse gases do not contribute to atmospheric temperatures.

But their changed concentration due to human envolvment has not been shown to be a driving factor in recent temperature changes.

Not only that, but the proponents of such theories, say in Kyoto, disregarded factors such as the termal conduction of greenhouse molecules at different atmospheric pressures and altitude and also ignored saturation effects.

The second tactic of ignoring saturation effects is most annoying because it is an alarmist tactic. Like those used by people who try to scare you with demographics. Except it's even less appropriate here. If greenhouse gases warm the atmosphere it doesn't mean more concentrated grrenhouse gases will warm the atmosphere the same way. Nature tends to saturation curves like a discharging capacitator.

No, I am sure global warming is just a myth. </sarcasm> - 24/11/2009 01:23:50 PM 1098 Views
That ice is not melting - everyone knows temperatures aren't going up. - 24/11/2009 01:30:12 PM 802 Views

Not to excuse tomfoolery of any kind (fun word )... - 24/11/2009 02:14:41 PM 689 Views
You never deviate from serious and exact wording in your private e-mails? *NM* - 24/11/2009 02:21:22 PM 428 Views
I think this is a bit more than a deviation. - 24/11/2009 02:33:49 PM 963 Views

Climategate is a big scandal.....very damaging to the AGW kool-aid drinkers. - 24/11/2009 03:53:27 PM 706 Views
Exactly; just look at these guys: - 24/11/2009 05:38:33 PM 1104 Views
Greenland was much less icy back in the days when it was first settled. - 24/11/2009 02:29:50 PM 838 Views
From what I understand - 24/11/2009 02:45:04 PM 888 Views
No one seriously argues against climate change. The myth is called the greenhouse effect - 24/11/2009 02:31:30 PM 734 Views
Yes they do. Well, depending how seriously you take trzaska2000 and others of his ilk... - 24/11/2009 02:53:33 PM 725 Views
I believe copy-right was aiming a bit higher than a specific person. You're not supposed to do that - 24/11/2009 03:17:31 PM 742 Views
But I was just using him as an example - to show that some people who think global warming a myth - 24/11/2009 03:27:13 PM 721 Views
I am not as crazy as Joel!!! - 24/11/2009 03:48:33 PM 871 Views

bull you're middle of the road. - 24/11/2009 06:11:52 PM 695 Views
Define "middle of the road" then..... *NM* - 24/11/2009 06:25:59 PM 427 Views

I'd agree that you're middle of the road as far as policy goes... - 24/11/2009 08:10:59 PM 698 Views
That's pretty accurate.....I do enjoy colorful rhetoric! - 25/11/2009 04:14:25 PM 676 Views
I'm not convinced - 24/11/2009 04:34:50 PM 741 Views
That's not exactly what I said. - 24/11/2009 06:06:44 PM 938 Views

Silly snoop.....my beef is with AGW, not GW in general..... - 24/11/2009 03:46:15 PM 763 Views
You should be clearer then - 24/11/2009 04:30:04 PM 686 Views
The greenhouse effect without with the global average temperature would be in the ballpark of -15C? - 24/11/2009 03:24:40 PM 759 Views
No no no my friend, do not put words in my mouth - 24/11/2009 03:52:29 PM 802 Views
