How Modern Global Warming Science Took Form: Climatology is not real science—nothing but modeling at the origins, self-contradictory, no evidence, no real measurements—just fantasized claims in fake peer reviewed journals as the starting point upon which everything else is based.

 
Why Global Warming Science is Nothing but Fraud
 

A number cannot be produced for heat captured by carbon dioxide, because the infinite complexity cannot be measured or theorized.

 

At first, there was no concept of secondary effects; but not enough heat could be contrived based on assumed history; so the concept of multiplying heat through feedback was added. Publications by Charney et al, 1979 and Ramanathan et al, 1979 show no indication of a secondary effect for this reason. Secondary effects are absurd, which is why there was no such concept in early publications.

The reason why secondary (feedback) effects were added later is because history did not show enough temperature increase to get to the desired 3°C total increase upon doubling CO2. So a primary effect was aligned upon history, and then it was multiplied by secondary effects to get the desired 3°C. The end result stayed the same. Frauds always start at the desired end point and work back.

The paradox is that history included secondary effects while not showing enough increase. It's contradictory to align upon history and still get more increase than indicated by history. It's an attempt to obscure a contradiction through muddle.

In other words, the early studies did not stand up to criticism, because they showed more temperature increase than the past, which was 0.6°C with 100 ppm CO2 increase. So muddle supposedly conserved past proportions while ending up with more temperature increase than history would indicate.

There is no starting point for modeling without a relationship between carbon dioxide and heat, yet there was no such number until 1998, and then it was contrived.

Modern studies of global warming could be traced back to Charney et all, 1979. This paper was produced by a study group created by the National Academy of Sciences, National Research Council, Climate Research Board, USA, charged with the task of producing an assessment of the "carbon dioxide/climate issue".

The paper of Charney et al , 1979, consists of nothing but modeling. It's exactly the same as dozens of other modeling studies on the complexities of the atmosphere, each having its own peculiarities on minutia. Such modeling is nothing resembling science. Numerous factors are admitted to be too vague to be included. The factors which are included are so complex that the numbers used are nothing but guesses. If politicians want the best guess possible, that doesn't make it science.

The atmospheric and oceanic complexities being modeled have infinite randomness compounding with other infinite randomness. There is no science which will turn randomness into rationality.

The major fact about the early studies is that there is no valid starting point. Before a model can be created, a number must be used to represent the heat produced by carbon dioxide. That number is not even mentioned in the papers describing the models including Charney et all, 1979. Yet early studies are said to be only off by 15% based upon supposedly unquestionable results later (Myhre et al, 1998).

Commenters will sometimes state that there is such a number referring to it as climate sensitivity and stating that it is 3 ±1.5°C with doubling of CO2 as indicated by Charney et al, 1979. That number is given by Charney et al, 1979, but it is not the starting point of their modeling, it is the end result. So where does the starting point come from? There is no clue in Charney et al, 1979 or a similar modeling study by Ramanathan et al, 1979.
 
In 1998, Myhre et al claimed to derive such a number as a three component equation (fudge factor) for increases in CO2 in the atmosphere. They used radiative transfer equations as their methodology. Such equations will not yield anything resembling the result in question. Radiative transfer equations have the purpose of determining how radiation is depleted while a gas is increased in concentration. The rate of radiation depletion tells nothing of the amount of heat produced by the radiation.

One of the implications is that each photon of radiation will produce so much heat when it strikes a molecule of CO2. There is an infinite amount of complexity in the atmosphere that turns that assumption into absurdity. Moving energy around through radiation is not increasing the heat. Emitting points are cooled, while absorbing points are heated. Most radiation absorbed by CO2 originates in the atmosphere. About 30% of black body radiation goes around greenhouse gases. 92% of black body radiation goes around CO2. All radiation absorbed by the atmosphere is converted into black body radiation quite rapidly—no one knows exactly how fast.

For example, any heat up high must be 24°C hotter to back-radiate 1°C near the surface, without considering absorption by oceans, and several thousand degrees when accounting for oceans absorbing most of it. The trivial use of radiative transfer equations by Myhre et at, 1998, does not even look at such factors. They did mention clouds, which shows that they needed to account for everything in the atmosphere, while they mentioned almost nothing.

In actuality, the number which should represent the amount of heat produced by additions of CO2 in the atmosphere is zero. This means the starting point for all modeling should be zero, while secondary effects do not exist for zero.

atmosphereThe reason for the number zero is saturation. It means radiation travels a short distance before being totally absorbed by CO2. At the center of the main absorption peak for CO2, radiation travels 10 meters before being totally absorbed. Farther down on the absorption peak, where there is one tenth as many CO2 molecules, the distance for total absorption is ten times as far, which is 100 meters. Where there are one thousandth as many CO2 molecules, the distance is 10 kilometers.

Doubling the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere reduces these distances to one half. Reducing the distance is not increasing the heat.

Alarmists have three rationalizations for saturation. At first, they said saturation does not occur on the shoulders of the absorption peaks, which is where the increase in heat occurs. thinThat argument would not stand up to criticism; so they changed the story and said the effect occurs high in the atmosphere, variously 5 or 9 km up, where saturation does not occur. Both effects are absurd, because they require extremely thin distribution of CO2 molecules, while spreading the heat thin reduces the temperature to irrelevance.

So alarmists said satellites show that saturation is not occurring, because they pick up key radiation showing that it is not being absorbed. Sometimes, the radiation is said to be emitted from 9 km up, which is where the heating is supposed to be occurring. Satellites cannot produce such information. They cannot determine the height from which narrow bands of radiation come from.

Satellites are said to show the height from which total heat comes from, but the height is determined by shift in wavelength. Shorter wavelengths do not travel as far through the atmosphere. But CO2 only absorbs very narrow bands of radiation, which means shift in wavelength will not indicate the height. In other words, satellites will pick up something from the top of the stratosphere regardless of saturation, and there is no indication of saturation in the result.

If scientists were simply wrong about saturation, there would be no problem. Science is designed to deal with errors. Errors are held as tentative assumptions until verification methods are developed. But the problem is that there is nothing in the science of global warming which is not in error. All scientific knowledge shows that there is no effect. The entire subject is contrived.

The worst problem is that the methodology including communication standards is so corrupt that errors cannot be dealt with as errors are dealt with in science. Pretending to model a result while there is no starting point is total fraud, regardless of the unreliability of modeling. Covering up the absence of a real starting point is additional fraud.

Publications on modeling, which is the entire basis of global warming science, do not describe methods; they only describe results. There is no way to determine reliability or meaning without knowing the methods. Descriptions will include numbers and equations, as if a method were known, but the "as ifs" are never described. Such standards are fraud in science, because they leave no means of evaluation. Describing results without methods is nothing but a news blurb being published as if it were science.

It's not a question of how the computer program works; it's a question of what are modelers feeding into the program and why. They won't say; and that's a total fraud. The reason why they won't say is because the atmosphere is so complex that there is no scientific analysis to determine what is happening within it. By not describing methods, frauds don't have to admit that science is being replaced with total contrivance.

There is no real science to the subject of global warming.
