The Cause of Ice Ages and Present Climate |
Heat-Trapping Gases There is no Valid Mechanism for CO2 Creating Global WarmingFake scientists are telling us that trace gases including carbon dioxide determine the temperature of the atmosphere. (CO2 is 0.04% of the atmosphere.) The truth is that the temperature of the atmosphere equilibrates at a level which allows the same amount of energy to leave as enters from the sun, regardless of how the heat enters the atmosphere. Similarly, the entire atmosphere holds in heat. When scientists say only trace gases are responsible for the heat in the atmosphere, they are getting two major points wrong. One is the assumption that the atmosphere is only heated by radiation which it absorbs. Wrong. Most of the heat gets into the atmosphere through conduction, convection and evaporation, while about 1-3% is due to radiation. Secondly, they assume that the temperature is due to heat absorbing mechanism of trace gases. Temperature does not have a direct relationship to heat. Heat spreads to everything around it quite rapidly. The resulting temperature will be determined by the heat capacity of the total system and rate of exiting. With the atmosphere, heat will accumulate until it exits at the same rate it enters, which is totally independent of the trace gases. The "greenhouse effect" refers to the natural phenomenon that keeps the Earth in a temperature range that allows life to flourish. The sun's enormous energy warms the Earth's surface and its atmosphere. As this energy radiates back toward space as heat, a portion is absorbed by a delicate balance of heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere—among them carbon dioxide and methane—which creates an insulating layer. With the temperature control of the greenhouse effect, the Earth has an average surface temperature of 59°F (15°C). Without it, the average surface temperature would be 0°F (-18°C),--- Scientists have concluded that human activities are contributing to global warming by adding large amounts of heat-trapping gases to the atmosphere.---we release carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases into the air. link (See FAQ #1)When they say the atmosphere would be 59°F colder without trace gases, they are missing the conduction, convection and evaporation which heats the atmosphere. They are hung up on a fake Stefan-Boltzmann constant which indicates such an excessive amount radiation being emitted that there is no place for heat transfer through conduction and convection.
