The Emission Height Fallacy

This is another one of those “the greenhouse effect doesn’t work the way we’ve always said it does, it works this new way now” schticks.

If you’re logical, you may imagine that just as how the original climate alarmist backradiation “greenhouse effect” was debunkable, so is this one, the reason being that  these arguments are not predicated upon any underlying fundamental truth, but are created sophistry for purpose of the hijack of science and politics. Too bad scientists don’t care about logic, because if they did, these schemes wouldn’t get multiple chances. I mean, how many times does something need to change definitions before one acknowledges that nothing is being defined at all!?

A reader named Jim Fish sent me the following screencap from a Twitter thread he had been engaging with:

Aside from the gaffe of “heat is effectively emitted to space” which indicates a fundamental lack of knowledge of thermodynamics, this is all about Dr. Richard Lindzen and what made him a skeptic – the emission height increase is the “tropospheric hotspot” issue, where if greenhouse gas (GHG) theory theory were true, then the troposphere should be increasing in temperature in a tell-tale fashion.

But it isn’t.

There was/is no tropospheric hotspot, and therefore the emission height argument is bunk. Whoever uses the emission height argument is themselves contradicting the other climate scientists who use the backradiation or slowed cooling argument for the mechanism of the “greenhouse effect”.

However, what is it which is fundamentally, structurally wrong with the argument, in a similar sense to how the backradiation argument is predicated upon flat Earth theory and cold sunshine? (Of course, the emission height argument for climate alarmism is still founded in the fundamental error of climate science of treating the Sun as unable to create the weather upon a flat Earth.)

Given that the atmosphere is fixed in depth (material additions are negligible), then if the effective emission height increased you would have the same effective temperature of -18C but now emitting over a larger surface area and thus emitting more total energy. That would therefore violate conservation of energy because there is no additional total energy to emit given that the solar energy input is constant. Remember, these people are so stupid that they believe that flux is what you use to conserve energy, and so as long as you have -18C or 240 W/m^2, then it doesn’t matter what size of sphere the emission comes from because 240 W/m^2 “in” equals 240 W/m^2 out. But that it is not at all a statement of energy conservation. Remember what Willis Eschenback said about this incongruity created with differently-sized spheres though of identical flux emission? That this “only creates rounding errors.”

Here are the options for the emission height fallacy (EHF…it’s official):

a) same lapse rate, emission occurs at higher effective altitude but lower temperature: this therefore doesn’t affect the surface temperature, and so the argument here is moot. The atmosphere is fixed in depth and the lapse rate stays the same, the emission just gets pushed up to a higher altitude (larger shell) and lower temperature – this therefore has no effect on the surface temperature. The effective temperature of total energy emission would still remain constant here too.

b) same lapse rate, emission occurs at higher effective altitude and same effective temperature: this violates conservation of energy. Emission is moved to a larger shell, but at the same temperature as the smaller previous shell; thus, more energy is being emitted than before and thus conservation of energy is violated.

c) steeper lapse rate: disproven by derivation of lapse rate, and GHG’s do not change the lapse rate

Thus, the emission height argument doesn’t hold water – that’s not what GHG’s do, and they can’t do that, because if they did, you would get a violation of conservation of energy. Option a) is the only possibility that could occur due to increased absorption and scattering of IR energy from CO2…but it’s benign, and is consistent with no tropospheric hotspot and no surface warming.

    It is worth commenting that most of the IR emissions are generated by the cloud layer, which covers 2/3 of the surface and which is already at a high and cold altitude. Cloud temperatures can be related to the surface via their altitudes and the lapse rate. But the greenhouse effect above clouds is small and rather insensitive to the low densities of GHGs above. Most analyses of the effect of GHGs focus on the clear sky effect, presumably because of the difficulties of adequately parameterising clouds. So the analyses over estimate the effects by a wide margin.

  3. Pablo says:

    The idea that atmospheric radiation is responsible for an average surface temperature 33k more than this effective emission height temperature is so strange when variations of deep ocean warmth given by the sun and salinity can change everything from the Cretaceous to the El Nino and La Nina of todays today’s ice age.

    Bob Tisdale on El Nino and La Nina.

  4. Alan says:

    Isn’t the nonsense in this argument the “effective temperature” concept. The atmosphere emits at many temperatures. It is like the average temperature of the earth. There is no average, just a range of temperatures with a huge difference between the max and min on every day. It makes concerns about a small variation in the annual average look meaningless. Then we have the addition of temperatures to show the greenhouse effect.

    The earth’s average is said to be 15C and this comes from the sun heating the surface to -18C and 33C from the greenhouse effect. I’d like to see an experiment with water (ice) at -18 added to water at 33 and proving when combined they produce water at 15C. Temperature cannot be added, and the alarmists fail to understand that energy is conserved, not temperature.

    I recently found this work by Andy May https://andymaypetrophysicist.com/2020/11/27/ocean-temperature-update/ He claims that the oceans contain 99.97% of the thermal energy on the surface and he provides a spreadsheet showing the calculation. Anybody without a science background could find how to calculate the thermal energy in water and air and how to calculate the heat transfer between them with an assumed temperature difference. Just assume the same volume of air and water in contact at one surface and no heat loss from other surfaces and work out the temperature of the air needed to raise the water by 1 degree. End of climate alarmism.

    Coolng/warming cycles are hitting in 35 year periods.
    1944-1979 cooling.
    1980-2015 warming
    2015-2022+ cooling.
    If the pattern fits we’ll be cooling for 30 more years.

  6. CD Marshall says:

    So a 30 year cycle with a 5 year transitional period?

    Joe I was talking to a guy who claimed they found the hotspot it was like a few degrees warmer at one specific altitude of the trop according to radiosonde. Skeptical Science prob did an article on it.

    If emission height by co2 worked there would be perpetual energy machines

    Symply by building many miles high greenhouses, filled with co2, and tapping the massive energy at the bottom

  9. Barry says:

    Mp. If it worked every greenhouse that theyadd co2 into should be self heating. You would be able to adjust temp by controlling the mix. Don’t tell anyone I haven’t worked out the patent application just yet.

    Hi Joe, is there any news regarding the publishing date of your new book, and will there be a kindle version? Looking forward to it.

  14. Joseph E Postma says:

    It will be on Amazon in paperback and Kindle, and apparently hardcover is an option now too.

    Struggling greatly with a few of the boring parts. Some really, really excellent analysis and info otherwise though in the rest of the book. The boring part is copying over all of the retarded peer-review comments from the AMS, and other journals.

    Perhaps I will ask for final edit helps from anyone who would like to help. Maybe in a week or so, if I can get down to it and finish. Need to find the flow-zone again to get it done! Too many distractions right now.

  15. Pablo says:

    Help at hand for the flow-zone.

    They call this the “Enhanced Greenhouse Effect” I think. That guy with the accent I linked before does a good video on it. I remember posting it before. Who was that…

    Here he is

    Ned Nikolov.

    Skip to about 20mins to get to the “Enhanced Greenhouse Effect”. Crazy how the alarmist sophist just make up crazy nonsense stacked on nonsense. Bewildered me first I heard of it. I don’t remember any alarmist I’ve ever argued with bringing it up though.

  18. boomie789 says:

    Truckers are disproportionately based.

  19. Pablo says:

    As I see it,
    Atmospheric radiation doesn’t warm anything, it slows the speed of radiative cooling from the surface. During the day over land it tends to keep the actual solar heating of around 60ºC very close to the surface ( below eye level measuring) which stimulates instability for convection to occur which cools the surface and warms the boundary layer. Above that level, latent heating dominates. Over the oceans only a surface temperature of around 30ºC can stimulate deep convection providing the air above is cooling enough by radiation to space for super adiabatic conditions to occur.
    At night, over land, atmospheric radiation limits the rate of radiative cooling of the surface to well above the average tropospheric temperature of minus 18ºC. which it would reach very quickly without radiative gases in our atmosphere regardless of the ambient air temperature which can be well above actual surface temperatures at night.
    Over the oceans none of this applies. Solar heating warms to a depth of 100 metres but for deep ocean temperatures the long term accumulation of heat via the global ratio of warm saline sources to cool saline sources is what determines whether we are in an ice age or not.

    https://www.pdas.com/atmosTable1SI.html

    Calculate the center of mass of the atmosphere from that. Calculate the volume of a 2 km layer at the surface (m^3), the density (kg m-3) of that layer, and thus the mass of that layer (kg); then iterate through layers upward and figure out the balance point. It should be about at the 500 mb level, or approximately 18 km.

    Or one could just look up the altitude of the 500 mb level, but I want to prove it mathematically, so here goes…

    So the center of mass of the atmosphere is ~18 km.

    Now, where’s the tropopause? Well, it’s just about at that height (it varies with temperature and latitude).

    Now, what happens at the tropopause? Well, that’s where convective energy transport and radiative energy transport balance, so convection no longer transports matter above that ‘limit’, which is why the stratosphere is essentially stratified.

    So ask Alex if he’s claiming that convection occurs above the tropopause and into the stratosphere.

    How does 90% of the atmospheric mass being above the tropic’s affect the so called RGHE or LKKK’s math. or co2’s so-called even distribution.

  23. LOL@Klimate Katastrophe Kooks says:

    Got your message, Immortal600, and replied. It’s working.

    So I was looking at the cooling requirements of this house… it has ~660 pounds of air inside it, so if the house was at 85 F and 80% RH, total enthalpy would be ~27727 BTU, and evaporating just a single gallon of water would remove 8092 BTU, so if RH remained the same, that would drop temperature from 85 F to 70 F.

    When I think of the amount of energy used in an HVAC unit, it makes me sick knowing that we can make water boil at ambient temperature without any electricity required. That boiling water pulls energy out of the ambient, cooling it. Yup, boiling water can cool. You just have to be careful not to boil it so hard that it turns to ice.

    Think I’m crazy? LOL

    To reiterate.. that’s boiling water such that it pulls energy out of the environment, to such an extent that the water can turn to ice, and doing so requires no electricity.

    Let’s see who can figure it out…

    You have to create a low pressure vacuum in a bell jar at room temp removing the steam as the water boils th waters temperature will drop several degrees C as it carries on boiling.

    I can get down to a full 30″ vacuum without a vacuum pump. How do I do it? Anyone?

  26. LOL@Klimate Katastrophe Kooks says:

    So how does one get a full 30″ Hg (407.85304604592″ H2O) vacuum without a vacuum pump?

    He asks, giving them the answer. LOL

  27. LOL@Klimate Katastrophe Kooks says:

    Ok, here you go:

    The top-right valve (fill valve) is connected to a water supply that has at least ~20 PSI pressure. In this iteration, some electricity is required for the control circuitry and solenoid valves… it can be done manually, but automated is easier. You do not need any external energy to draw the vacuum… gravity does that.

    So you shut the bottom valve, open the vent valve and open the fill valve to fill the tank. Then you shut the vent valve and open the bottom valve to flush air out of the downpipe, then close the fill valve.

    Water will rush down the downpipe and into the bucket (which creates a seal so air can’t glug back up into the evaporator section). The height of the evaporator section is such that the water in the evaporator section will have a strong suction drawn on it by the downpipe, causing it to boil.

    That cools the water. The orange pipes wrapped around the evaporator section are filled with propylene glycol (antifreeze). When it cools, it becomes denser and creates a pressure differential that pushes some of the PG coolant into the radiator (inside the building, at ground level). As the PG absorbs energy in the radiator, it warms and becomes less dense, causing it to rise… this sets up a natural convective flow that doesn’t require any fluid pump. The warmer it is in the building and the cooler the evaporator section is, the stronger this natural convective flow will be.

    To flush the detritus out of the evaporator section (perhaps once a week or so), the controller would open the vent and the drain, then refill as described above.

    The controller would have a means of either measuring temperature near the top of the evaporator section, or of measuring liquid level in the evaporator, and would automatically refill as needed.

    Each gallon evaporated absorbs 8092 BTU, and with sufficient height, it’s easy to get several gallons per hour to evaporate. Even large buildings could use this to reduce their electrical usage and do away with their CFC / HCFC / HFC A/C equipment. Of course, it only works if you’ve got 3 or more stories or a tall enough tower for the evaporator section.

    Rudi K sats “…most of the IR emissions are generated by the cloud layer, which covers 2/3 of the surface and which is already at a high and cold altitude.”
    …yes, cold by human preferences, but warm enough on the Kelvin scale to get rid of the sunny-side thermal enerjons absorbed day-side, presumeably.

  29. CD Marshall says:

    No that is the NASA fake physics, clouds do not “generate” energy. Clouds are not a heat source. These weasels try and confuse you every way they can. In the trenches it can get harder to differentiate unless you are a near genius (like some on here).

    The atmosphere is not a heat source. The troposphere is heated by the Earth’s surface, the upper atmosphere is heated by the Sun. What amount of clouds can be heated directly by the Sun? I don’t know but that would be based on opacity and elevation only, I’m guessing?

    Clouds are noted as insulation and omni-directional insulation would be ideally useless.

  30. CD Marshall says:

    I told Alex the atmosphere is homogenous, stratified and in relative hydrostatic equilibrium. He refused to accept that instead ranting on total potential energy of the atmosphere proves the RGHGE. He claims with his analogy that PE and KE are completely balanced or something like that.

Although I do think Robert Kernodle could have gotten a degree if he wanted to.

    CD Marshall:
    Hit them with the refrigeration cycle analogy. They probably don’t realize they live inside a giant A/C unit, transporting energy from evaporator to condenser (surface to upper atmosphere). Ask them what happens when an A/C system doesn’t have enough refrigerant, and what happens when one adds the proper amount.

    “That is a very ingenious device. My only question is, how do you vent the water vapor as it boils?”

    That’s why you set the majority of the evaporator above 408″, so you have a long column of water that can evaporate before boiling stops. It’s not a continuous process, it’s a batch process.

    As to refilling it… the bucket at the bottom should be large enough to capture all of the water that is expelled from the evaporator as the water evaporates and fills the top of the evaporator with water vapor.

    So you’d have control circuitry that measures evaporator vacuum and drain bucket level… as evaporator vacuum drops to a certain threshold (which I’d set at ~28.7″ Hg), the control circuitry would close the bottom valve, open the vent valve, pump any water from the drain bucket back up to the evaporator, then top it off with fresh water until the evaporator is completely full. That flushes any water vapor out of the evaporator.

    Then the vent valve and fill valve is closed and the bottom valve opened, and the process starts again.

    Here’s an updated image:

    I added the pump to push the water from the drain bucket back up to the evaporator in a batch process, as well as a drain bucket drain valve. Periodically, the control circuitry would open the vent valve, open the fill valve, open the bottom valve and open the drain bucket drain valve to flush mineral buildup from the system, then it’d refill the evaporator with fresh water and the process would begin again.

    If you’re in an area with plenty of water and don’t mind wasting it (or you’ve got somewhere useful for that water to go), then the pump and large bucket aren’t needed… just a small bucket to act as a seal for the downpipe.

  37. LOL@Klimate Katastrophe Kooks says:

    Here’s an update: the smaller bucket inside the catchment basin allows one to pump all of the water from the catchment basin back into the evaporator section, then top off the evaporator with fresh water, without breaking the seal on the downpipe.

  38. LOL@Klimate Katastrophe Kooks says:

    Actually, one could use the partial vacuum at the top of the evaporator to lessen the energy consumption of the pump… when evaporator section vacuum falls to its setpoint, close the bottom solenoid valve (pinkish-purple), start the pump and open the pump solenoid valve (darker blue) and pump the catchment basin water back to the evaporator with the partial vacuum assisting to reduce pump head. When catchment basin level drops to a setpoint, close the pump solenoid valve (darker blue), turn off the pump, open the fill solenoid valve (lighter blue), fill for a bit with the remaining small bit of partial vacuum helping to pull fresh water in, when vacuum falls to 0″ Hg, open the vent solenoid valve (gray) and continue filling until a sensor senses that the evaporator section is full. Then close the fill solenoid valve (lighter blue) and vent solenoid valve (gray), open the bottom valve (pinkish-purple), and the process starts again.

    pV = NRT

    V = NRT / p

    Assume vacuum minimum setpoint is 28.7″ Hg (4402.3057 Pa) where the system cycles through a refill cycle.

    Assume the associated boiling temperature of 57.83 F (287.5 K).

    V (m^3) = 1 (mol) * 8.31446261815324 (J K−1⋅mol−1) * 287.5 (K) / 4402.3057 (Pa) = 0.54299000696817953828149644401115 m^3 / mol

    The atomic mass of water is 18.02 grams per mole. Therefore, one gallon of water contains 210.06724661487236403995560488346 mol / gal.

    210.067 mol / gal * 0.54299 m^3 / mol = 114.06442 m^3 / gallon (vap) = 30132.632 gallons (vap).

    Obviously, if you’ve got a natural spring sitting at least 408″ above your home and flowing at least 500 GPM, you don’t have to worry about wasting the water (it’s going to flow away anyway), and you’ve got your head pressure to refill the evaporator without any energy input on your part. Otherwise, you’re going to need to use a 5 HP (3.728499357911351 kW) low-head high-flow pump (per gallon of water evaporated per hour) to pump the water from the catchment basin back into the evaporator, or you’re going to have to just waste the water expelled due to the boiling. That’s less efficient than an A/C unit, unless you’ve got a natural spring. That’s an EER of only 2.17 (COP of 0.638235) for the pump version. For the natural-spring version, the EER would be (assuming an average of 10 watts for the controller and solenoid valves) 809.2. That’d be a COP of 237.3, because nature is doing the work of moving the water. That’s higher than the theoretical maximum COP of 36.978 (EER of 126.095, under the EER test conditions of 95 F hot reservoir, 80 F cold reservoir) because we’re only looking at the energy we have to pay for (that energy necessary to run the controller and solenoid valves). Nature provides the rest. If we run the controller and solenoids from a solar panel and fill the evaporator from a natural spring, the COP and EER go to infinity.

    It’s amazing how much energy nature moves… how to tap into that is the trick.

    Found this in a METEO:3 college course…https://www.e-education.psu.edu/meteo3/l2_p3.html

    Planck’s Law
    Planck’s Law can be generalized this way: Every object emits radiation at all times and at all wavelengths. Does that surprise you? We know that the sun emits visible light (below left), infrared waves, and ultraviolet waves (below right), but did you know that the sun also emits microwaves, radio waves, and X-rays? Of course, the sun is a big nuclear furnace, so it makes sense that it emits all sorts of electromagnetic radiation. However, Planck’s Law states that every object emits over the entire electromagnetic spectrum. That means that you emit radiation at all wavelengths, and so does everything around you!

    Now before you dismiss this statement out-of-hand, let me say that you are not emitting X-rays in any measurable amount. The mathematics behind Planck’s Law hinge on the fact that there is a wide distribution of vibration speeds for the molecules in a substance. This means that it is possible for matter to emit radiation at any wavelength, and in fact it does, but the amount X-rays you’re currently emitting, for example, is unimaginably small.

    These people are literal canned-program NPC’s that have repeated the same nonsense for years.

    All of his concerns have been addressed multiple times.

    Heat is not the conserved quantity – heat isn’t even a quantity, it is an action. There is no conservation of action, but of quantity.

    The article you linked addresses his questions fully.

    Yes, higher Tc means less heat, that’s it. But the inside term of Th^4 is STILL THERE, DOING ALL OF THE EMITTING.

    “Introducing that second plate causes an initial reduction in the heat transfer out of the first plate thus causing the first plate to INCREASE in temperature.”

    This is simply word game sophistry like Zeno’s paradox of motion. He can write that sentence, but it doesn’t actually mean anything, and it doesn’t follow the mathematics of thermodynamics which is what reality actually follows.

    The first plate emits energy to space. Not heat, but energy. Space doesn’t receive heat. The first plate simply emits at sT^4. When you bring in the second plate, the first plate STILL EMITS sT^4.

    Now, though, heat can exist, there can be an action of heat, and that is with the first plate’s energy warming the introduced second plate. The first plate heats the new second plate. The second plate is heated up to the temperature of the first plate, and now the second plate emits what the first plate was emitting to space. Energy conserved.

    Although you can write a word argument as he did above, at no point are there mathematics of thermodynamics where the introduction of the second plate should make the first plate become warmer. There is simply no math for that. In thermodynamics, to increase temperature, you need heat, and heat comes from the warmer body. The introduced second plate is colder than the first plate, and it is what is heated by the first plate, and the second plate cannot heat the first plate since it is colder, hence the first plate can’t increase in temperature from it. That’s the math.

    What this is is a demonstration of Gödel’s Incompleteness Theorems, where with an axiomatic language such as English, one can create sentences which are syntactically readable, but semantically meaningless. Mathematics gets around that because math is not axiomatic, but is tautological, hence Gödelian incompleteness does not apply to ontological mathematics. The mathematics of thermodynamics is what says true things about reality; spoken language-based word games do not, and you have to be very careful using spoken language to ensure that it describes what the math actually needs you to.

    “Chevron deference, or Chevron doctrine, is an administrative law principle that compels federal courts to defer to a federal agency’s interpretation of an ambiguous or unclear statute that Congress delegated to the agency to administer. The principle derives its name from the 1984 U.S. Supreme Court case Chevron U.S.A., Inc. v. Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc.[1]”

    This needs to be repealed really badly. A YouTube got arrested recently for some really Trump up out of line charges.

    My understanding is CRS Firearms just promoted Rare breed triggers, he was paid, and promoted a legal fund for them after the ATF declared their product was illegal.

    So the ATF sent USA marshalls to arrest him and bring him to Florida to answer for “Conspiracy” and other vague charges. He lives in Wisconsin.

    The ATF has something called “Chevron deference” that all Federal bureaucracies got from some court case back in the day. Practically it allows them to change laws by decree without congress or anything.

    So they use that to reinterpret the legal definition of a machine gun. They reinterpreted it to make this trigger illegal.

    Fully automatic weapons are obviously protected under the second amendment. The ban on them is blatantly unconstitutional in the first place.

    “The ATF’s objectives are clear:
    1. Make an example of Matt to intimate other gun owners and YouTube creators.
    2. Establish legal precedent as a means of prosecuting future legal cases against gun owners.
    3. Greatly broaden NFA restrictions to other firearms and their accessories without legislative approval.

    Matt’s case must go to trial. If he takes a plea deal, Matt could lose 1) his FFL and SOT licenses, 2) have his guns confiscated, 3) have his gun store business shut down, 4) be kicked off YouTube and other social media platforms, and 5) never be able to buy another firearm again.

    For the reasons stated above, it’s very important to donate to Matt’s gofundme account. He will need hundreds of thousands of dollars to fund his defense.”

    “Introducing that second plate causes an initial reduction in the heat transfer out of the first plate thus causing the first plate to INCREASE in temperature.”

    Heat is not the conserved quantity – heat isn’t even a quantity, it is an action. There is no conservation of action, but of quantity. There is no action of heat upon space, you can’t do work on space. To talk of heat to space is meaningless. More on meaningless language below.

    Yes, higher Tc means less heat, that’s it. This simply means that the cooler plate is coming to equilibrium with the hot plate, and that the cooler plate’s rise in temperature per unit time lessens. But the inside term of Th^4 is STILL THERE, DOING ALL OF THE EMITTING.

    SO is this the just of his argument? He’s repeating it again.
    1/2 One BB plate: source provides 100 W/m^2 to irradiated side. Plate must emit 50 W/m^2 from each side to satisfy first law. Plate emits s T1^4 per unit area from each side. T1 = 172K.
    2/2 Now make it 2 plates. Plate 1 receives 100 W/m^2. Emits s T1^4 from irradiated side and transfers s (T1^4 – T2^4) to plate 2. Plate 2 receives s (T1^4 – T2^4) from plate 1 and emits s T2^4 to space. Solve the 1st law for each plate -> T1=185K, T2=156K.

  64. Joseph E Postma says:

    That solution he’s trying to set up is algebra…it is simply algebra. Yes, this is math. But it is not the ontological mathematics of thermodynamics. Note that he doesn’t actually utilize the First Law of Thermodynamics in its actual mathematical definition: dU = Q + W = m Cp dT.

    What he only tries to use instead is the concept of conservation of energy, which is indeed what the first law is, except he doesn’t use the math of the first law, and only uses an algebra instead.

    If we were to take his end state solution, T1=185K, T2=156K, then the heat flow to the second plate is Q = sigma * (185^4 – 156^4), which is greater than zero. That is, there is positive heat flow upon the second plate. Now because he only looks at the algebra, and not the mathematical definition of the first law, he thinks he can stop here. However, the First Law for the second plate under these conditions is dU = Q = m Cp dT, and since Q is greater than zero for the second plate, then dT is greater than zero for the second plate, and so the second plate must be rising in temperature, but his algebraic solution intended that this is steady state. Hence, there’s a paradox. The paradox is resolved by dispensing with the abstract algebra, and deferring instead to the ontological mathematics of the actual definition of the first law.

    So his back radiation gambit then.
    i see the back radiation gambit like this, bouncing a ball of a wall.

    The back radiated energy from the old plate is constant but meaningless.
    plate 1 the wall the ball is plate 2’s back welling energy .

    Its the same energy flux out of the cold plate as is instantly returned to the cold plate, so it isn’t losing any energy to the hot plate,

    Like the same ball out and back and back from the wall over and over. and over, the wall hasn’t gained any balls and i haven’t lost any.

    Am i right.

    Joe i like that heat is an action, an instantaneous transient phenomenon
    So are they correct to say heat flows from one place to another or energy flows from one place to another, and if energy isn’t that energy only potential heat, our suns energy output is immense but how much is used as work, it all had the potential but only a tiny minute amount gets used as heat.

  67. CD Marshall says:

    Even in a steady state energy is being released as fast as it is coming in and the T is maintained not by Q but by W. The other physicist tried to pull that crap as well, claiming you don’t need heat for no “heat” is being created to maintain a T but heat was needed to establish that T and now work is maintaining that T which is still the LOT. They try and pull that to claim cold can heat hot and it’s just insane sauce.

    “….ice sheets terminated every second or third obliquity cycle at times of high obliquity, similar to the original proposal by Milankovitch.”

    “But how does a forcing with a 40-kyr period pace the 100-kyr late- Pleistocene glacial variability? One suggestion is that the phase and amplitude modulations of obliquity cause the 100-kyr variability, but it is difficult to see the climatic significance of such modulations. Instead, we suggest that the climate state skips one or two obliquity beats before deglaciating, thus giving quantized glacial-cycle durations of either 80 or 120kyr. A speculative scenario is for increased obliquity to increase high-latitude insolation and cause heating of an ice sheet, eventually warming the ice–bedrock interface. When the ice sheet is thin, basal temperature and pressure are low, and the obliquity heating has little effect—a skipped beat. But when the ice sheet is thick, basal temperature and pressure are high,…..”

  78. CD Marshall says:

    Yeah I think the cycles are closer to 120k years, 100k of glaciation, 20k interglacial but nothing is cookie cutter logic in climate, though.

    the square root relation to distance of the sun (tsi at the toa) is derived from the Stephen boltzman law

    Stephen boltzman law describes temperature math of a virtual black body in space

    Dr. Holmes pointed out that the square route relation is the same for 1 bar gas as a virtual blackbody in space

    Even albedo doesn’t matter

  84. CD Marshall says:

    Boomie that video on the The Milankovitch Cycles was pretty good. The axial tilt can change between 22.5 degrees to 24.5 degrees we are currently at 23.44 degrees, I feel precise measurements in this case are important.

    The Canadian Truckers CAN’T Be Stopped

  86. CD Marshall says:

    Thanks MP so in reverse Earth’s T should match Venus. Making the equation balance.

  87. MP says:

    @ CD Marshall

    Right.

    All planetary systems with at least 1 bar pressure have the same temperature relation, related to the TSI at the top of the atmosphere

    This completely destroys the radiation balance narrative.

    Whatever positive or negative feedbacks you throw at the 1 bar atmospheric system, it overall remains a steady state based on the sun input

    How that is possible opens up a can of new research/hypothesis worms

    Almost always chaotic systems get back to a less chaotic system over time tho

  88. CD Marshall says:

    I’m talking to a guy who thinks ocean acidification is a real thing and atmospheric CO2 is the cause. Normally I just explain it but I’m playing with him for fun. I gave him this equation but didn’t explain it. (Compliments of Pierre).

    So I wrote out the equation like this
    CaSiO3 + H2CO3 = CaCO3 + H2O + SiO2
    CaCO3 + H2CO3 = Ca(HCO3)2

  89. CD Marshall says:

    The full explanation:
    CO2 reacts with water (H2O) to form carbonic acid (H2CO3).

    Underwater volcanoes eject calcium silicate (CaSiO3) on the ocean floor and that is the buffer that controls the pH of the oceans. The ocean floor is littered with this product. Carbonic acid reacts with calcium silicate to give insoluble calcium carbonate (CaCO3). Carbonic acid then reacts with this calcium carbonate to give aqueous calcium bicarbonate (Ca(HCO3)2). Aqueous calcium bicarbonate has a natural pH of about 8.2 but runs from 8.1-8.3, slightly alkaline. The more carbonic acid you have, the more calcium silicate will react to neutralize it.
    CaSiO3 + H2CO3 = CaCO3 + H2O + SiO2 (sand)
    CaCO3 + H2CO3 = Ca(HCO3)2

    I want to thank all of you guys for furthering my education, you are absolutely invaluable. I had a sophomore college level education fresh out of highs school but never pursued college, different world back then.

  98. Joseph E Postma says:

    I’m putting this parallel plate thing in my book, but feeling really bad about it because it’s lengthy technical discussion and a bit of math. On the other hand, I did that in my first book with the concentric shells, and that example was much more complex and mathematical. I’m just thinking of the mom’s at the park where my daughter plays that I’ve given copies of my book to…lol. My books really aren’t for women though. So what do you guys think? Full-on break down and analysis and solution like I did with the concentric shells in my first book?

  99. CD Marshall says:

    You need something in the book for all levels of education. “This is the way”. The tricky part is “how” to present the differences. Like I’ve seen so many books put the real technical stuff in the back for those who want it. However, that might lose the interest of the more educated reader…Then again, the technical part might lose the interest of the mid-level reader. Your engineer level reader will LOVE the technical stuff more. Your daughter might not…at least not yet. So, treat that side like you would a climate scientist.

  100. Zelator says:

    My thoughts is that I would go with making it “easier” to understand for the layman. Afterall we are not really trying to change the other side as they are stuck in their ways and determined to undermine anything we say.

    Unless of course you have proof to discredit and completely change the game. If so go for the kill.

    But mid level general public will appreciate an easier read. There is no point in preaching to the other side as they will always rebuke it anyway, such is their twisted way of seeing things and their obvious agenda.

    Obviously balance that with a adjunct note to the book to explain that position. The more detailed data etc can be provided in a conclusion section, and then a round up will be for those that dont know much science or real world exopolitics and want a summary to make them feel like they learned and got something from this book that educated them.

    Just my opinion.

  101. boomie789 says:

  104. CD Marshall says:

    Cloud “forcing” doesn’t exist. So, what would you actually call it? Forcing indicates a T increase which it never does. Forcing the open atmospheric window closed to allow a slower cooling process is not the term, forcing.

  105. CD Marshall says:

    So this is from MIT (help us all)

    “Radiative forcing is what happens when the amount of energy that enters the Earth’s atmosphere is different from the amount of energy that leaves it. Energy travels in the form of radiation: solar radiation entering the atmosphere from the sun, and infrared radiation exiting as heat. If more radiation is entering Earth than leaving—as is happening today—then the atmosphere will warm up. This is called radiative forcing because the difference in energy can force changes in the Earth’s climate.”

  106. They just make up whatever they want.

    There’s been nothing worse for humanity and nothing better for the parasites than mass society from large populations.

  107. Because everyone becomes anonymous, inaccessible, and therefore unaccountable. The worst people can get away with the worst.

  108. Pablo says:

    “The absorbent action of carbon dioxide and the permanent gases is almost invariable; but the absorption bands of aqueous vapour are much stronger in the summer than in winter, and the selective scattering of short waves also increases in summer. One result of this variation is that the direct rays of the midday sun, received upon a a normal surface, are more powerful in winter than in summer, in spite of the greater distance traversed by the sunbeam through the air in winter.”

    “The direct effect of the sun’s rays upon a normal surface is less in the tropics than in temperate regions, and less at sea level than upon a mountain top, owing to the difference in the aqueous component of the air; and the ability of the solar radiation to maintain a high temperature in the torrid zone or at sea level is due to the accumulation of the thermal energy imparted to the Earth’s surface by reason of the retention of the escaping radiation from that surface by a moist and highly absorbent atmosphere rather than to the direct power of the sunbeam.”

    “As long as the mantle of water vapour remains unbroken, thermal fluctuations are kept within narrow limits. Storms may make inroads upon the continuity of this aqueous atmospheric envelope,
    but evaporation of moisture restores the rents.”

    “The gradual accumulation of moisture in higher and higher atmospheric layers during the summer, clothes the temperate regions with so deep a protective covering of moist air, that summer conditions are prolonged in the autumn to a time which is astronomically the correlative of late winter. The absence of this deep protective layer, whose formation can only be effected gradually, permits late frosts in spring, long after the sun has resumed his ascendency.”

    “…in addition to the large specific heat and mobility of water, conducing to the slowness of oceanic temperature changes; but more important as a retainer of oceanic heat is the extension of the
    great band (6,3 microns) to greater wave-lengths in the absorption of the layer of air nearly saturated with moisture, which always hangs over the water.”

    From “Atmospheric Radiation” by Frank W. Very 1900

  109. Pablo says:

    “It appears certain that on our Earth surface temperatures lower than -73ºC., or 200ºK. can not occur, possibly because of the almost total absorption
    by the atmosphere of all radiations beyond 13 microns.

    …the position of the normal maximum in the energy-curve for the lowest arctic temperature very nearly coincides with the great absorption band of carbon dioxide.”

    Ditto

    That a bit of an off statement…it of course requires the direct power of the sunbeam to be intense enough in the first place in order to generate the high temperature. In fact, even when the temperature is at maximum in the day, it is still a lower temperature than the forcing from sunlight. The surface never gets as hot as the sunbeam temperature, because it is always catching up due to thermal mass and also due to the cooling effect of convection occurring.

  112. Joseph E Postma says:

  114. Barry says:

    It’s quite funny how people can say that 8 billion is to many as apposed to what. It’s pretty much the same argument as cc, what if it gets2 degrees warmer who cares it would be a good thing crops would continue to outpace demand. On a flight from Edmonton to Yellowknife about ten years ago now I was astounded at the total lack of people. No hiways no roads no houses no sign of human beings for hundreds of miles in all directions. I agree our cities are unsustainable as we continue to infill rather than build whole new cities that could be properly built with infrastructure that could actually work and benifit man rather than trying to make transport fit our cities we could have our cities fit our transport systems. Service corridors so that we wouldn’t have to tear up streets for months to fix a water main leak. It would seem so easy today to build a properly laid out place for people to play and work instead of trying to fit them into existing structure.

  115. CD Marshall says:

  118. boomie789 says:

    Nobody really cares about over population it’s just a guilt trip. There seems to be only one demographic in decline, the ones most proselytized to about over population and climate change.

    It’s warfare. Insidious.

  119. CD Marshall says:

    The entire population of Earth could fit in Texas in one stinking festering super mega city. You could build underground worldwide and have not a single city on the surface. Population is a political narrative like everything else.

  120. But it’s not actually nice to live in such a large population. And we all degenerate living in a city.

    Population level and density of the Renaissance Era seems best for creating healthy minds and people.

  121. Barry says:

    Ya I think where we find ourselves now pretty much speaks volumes about most city dwellers. I’ve heard radio announcers in their forties tha just found out that dill pickles are actually cucumbers. This is the intelligence we are dealing with they think chicken is made in the back of the grocery store. Maybe we do need a bit of a test to see if we are worthy or not,certainly our prime minister would fail any iq test given to him. Off to Victoria again on Saturday for what good it does we may have to raise the bar a bit if they won’t give in on their own.

  122. CD Marshall says:

    Dense populations spread disease. Paris is famous for that history, aren’t they?

    Joe, you hit it square on the head when you said “Population level and density of the Renaissance Era seems best for creating healthy minds and people.” That is very, very true. Unfortunately the marxists see that as a goal to be attained by culling a large portion of the population with their deadly vaccines. We are watching death rates go unnaturally higher in vaccinated populations across western societies. When will this madness end?

  130. CD Marshall says:

    Yes the same Marxists who can’t “see” beyond our planet. Space exploration has always been the answer to population and well the common sense of everyone to have planned childbirths and be able to financially support your kids (as a standard guideline). The 80s and early 90s were a good population, in the 80s people were starting to get along again in the US then the Left reignited race and entitlements. They couldn’t afford for the United States to be united as one nation with no race, just Americans.

    The Left were the racists, they were the KKK and they were the ones who disproved of women voting, sadly the “Right” were in part not really objecting that much. The Left loves segregation, just look at the vax passports.

    The North was very wealthy at that time, and the South lacked a work force. Neither wanted to work things out. Slavery was never the answer, and neither was greed. The civil war never needed to happen.

    The back welling LW can only penetrate waters top few surface molecules, only penetrates microns.
    Even so it aids in evaporation, to claim that is a warming or forcing is a nonsense, as evaporation is a cooling process for about 72/73% of the global surface.

  140. Alex Janssen says:

    Amateur here.

    Rudi K says “It is worth commenting that most of the IR emissions are generated by the cloud layer, which covers 2/3 of the surface and which is already at a high and cold altitude.”

    If satellites see 255k for the temperature, is that produced by radiation from about 5-6 km altitude, not from the surface? I divided 33 by 6.5 to get 5km.

    Doesn’t most cloud formation occur below 2km altitude? Radiation released by condensation would be coming from a much warmer part of the atmosphere then than that seen by satellites?

    If there is already a discussion somewhere on this subject, I’d like to read it.

  141. Joseph E Postma says:

    255K is produced from all radiation everywhere possibly emitted all integrated together including from poles, high and low altitude, etc., and averaged over the surface of Earth.

  142. Alex Janssen says:

    If it’s an average, it’s kind of a useless number isn’t it? Kind of like 15C is the average temperature of the surface and average input from the sun is 340 w/m^2?

  143. Alex Janssen says:

    And I don’t see how anybody could use that figure in any calculation with any logic.

  144. Joseph E Postma says:

    Yes, it is mostly. It only has meaning in the context of Effective Temperature…that’s it.

    Everything else is in-situ.

  145. Alex Janssen says:

    Thanks, Joe for clearing up my BIG mis-understanding.

  146. Alex Janssen says:

    Is there a short, 1 page, written summary of what is wrong with AGW or GHE gas theory? I’m thinking something like a list of items.
    It needs to be for a layman to read.
    I’m trying to put one together for politicians to read and thought if one is already written, I might use it.

  147. I’ve been attempting to create that with infographics:

    Also: https://climateofsophistry.files.wordpress.com/2023/10/why-ontological-climate-math.pdf

    They’re almost all controlled opposition though…politicians, etc.

  148. Alex Janssen says:

    Joe, I understand your presentation, it works for myself as I am more educated on the subject, but we need to recognize that the people we want to educate have no previous knowledge of what you are saying. They need a basic education. Like starting from kindergarten, maybe 1st grade. They will not understand your illustrations that require too much background knowledge. I was thinking a series of basic statements that are easy to understand. 2nd or 3rd grade level. Some easy to understand graphics later. Think of educating a 2nd or 3rd grade child about the truth of the earth’s climate. The children will be in control in 20 years.

  149. Alex Janssen says:

    People on the street that I have spoken with don’t even know what CO2 is or what it does. They just know what CNN, CBS or NBC say about AGW. We need to formulate a major education plan and execute it.

  150. A friend wanted to create a cartoon “Captain Carbon” to tell kids and adults about CO2, the Sun, etc. A superhero that fights the bad guys trying to take co2 and sun away from Earth, etc.

    CO2 + Sun + water = photosynthesis = life
    Too little/take away co2 = death
    More co2 = more life
    Too little/take away Sun = death
    Can’t make more Sun

    Scientists say co2 makes climate and hence climate change because Sun is too cold because of flat earth math.

  151. Alex Janssen says:

    I understand all of that. I think we should only promote the positives of life giving CO2. There are really only positives of more at this point. We could not survive in a pure CO2 or O2 atmosphere, but we are very far from that. Too much water will kill you even though needed to live, but we don’t try to limit water. I am going to work on the text of a simple explanation from what I’ve learned. Your illustrations are certainly illustrative of what exists ontologically, but require too much background education as a first stop. I am thinking multiple attacks on the educational front. I have been hitting them multiple times for months, now. I am trying to convince them to have a presentation from real scientists. I was even thinking of getting you to testify in front of them, but you would have to simplify your language to be layman’s level.

  152. Alex Janssen says:

    Even though you have Captain Carbon, he needs publicity. Your need to figure out where he’s going to get it. I am targeting the U.S. Congress at this point because they control the money.

  153. MP says:

    The super hero could be “weather man”

    Weather man looks at incoming air pressure.

    When the incoming air pressure is high in the summer he tells people it will be great weather to go swimming. When the air pressure will become low he warns people of colder and possible bad weather

    Weather man isn’t afraid of global warming. Because as long the sun keeps shining as it does only a significant mass change of the total atmosphere can cause significant pressure change

    Co2 is a heavy molecule, but there is so few of it in the atmosphere that doubling the amount would have almost no effect

    When weather man places 5 books on top of each other he knows that the lowest book gets the most pressure from the weight of the books above it.

    “Dr scare” doesn’t agree with weather man and claims that the letters C and O in the books above it do some magic and cause the higher pressure on the lowest book

  154. Hah very good 👍

  155. Alex Janssen says:

    Weather Man needs to be on Saturday morning cartoon shows fighting Dr. Scare.

  156. Alex Janssen says:

    Joe, I did send your diagram with an explanation of it and your short book to our HR Committee on energy and commerce. They control how much money is spent on climate change. They told me that they read everything sent to them. I’ve sent them a lot of stuff refuting agw. Even sent them the back story explaining the club of Rome and and the real purpose of the agw scare. I’m hoping to get a meeting with them. I’ll have to call in real physicists to go with me for backup.

  157. Alex Janssen says:

    Today, Charles Battig was on local radio, WINA, on The Rob Schilling Show explaining that CO2 doesn’t really do much of anything to warm the atmosphere.
    More appearances like that will help educate the public.
