<br />
Imagine a ball rolling down an incline then hitting the bottom which is completely flat, totally level. We all know that eventually the ball will stop. The gravity that caused the ball to roll is no longer influencing it but why does it stop, why doesn't it just roll forever? Friction, the contact of the ball to the surface creates friction which eventually stops the ball. <br />
<br />
In this case the friction which stops the ball is called a negative feedback, without the negative feedback of friction the momentum of the ball initially caused by the gravity would just go on rolling until some other force stopped it.<br />
<br />
What is little understood by the general public in regards to global warming is that carbon dioxide (CO2) by itself can only heat the Earth so much, it is not like adding fuel to the fire, as a matter of fact the more CO2 that is put into the atmosphere, the less that the CO2 is capable of heating. In a sense it saturates it's ability to warm. This is why you hear the discussion on CO2 discussed in terms of <i>"doubling of CO2 from pre-industrial levels"</i> when you reach that point you have pretty much reached the limit of what CO2 can do as far as heating the atmosphere on it's own.<br />
<br />
This is not in dispute, from <a href="http://www.ipcc.ch/publications_and_data/publications_and_data_reports.htm" onclick="if(!checkUrl(this.href)) return false;" target="_blank">IPCC Fourth Assessment Report: Climate Change 2007 (AR4)</a><br />
<blockquote>If the amount of carbon dioxide were doubled instantaneously, with everything else remaining the same, the outgoing infrared radiation would be reduced by about 4 Wm-2. In other words, the radiative forcing corresponding to a doubling of the CO2 concentration would be 4 Wm-2. To counteract this imbalance, the temperature of the <i><b>surface-troposphere system would have to increase by 1.2°C (with an accuracy of ±10%), in the absence of other changes</b></i></blockquote>So as you can see a doubling of CO2 would only account for a 1.2 C of warming-period. This is not in dispute. So why do you hear all these claims that increased CO2 is going to warm the Earth by anywhere from 2-6 degC? The IPCC explains:<br />
<blockquote>In reality, <i><b>due to feedback</b></i>, the response of the climate system is much more complex. It is believed that the overall effect of the feedback amplifies the temperature increase to 1.5 to 4.5°C. A significant part of this uncertainty range arises from our limited knowledge of clouds and their interactions with radiation.</blockquote>So in order to <i>keep the ball rolling</i> they postulate feedback, in this case positive feedback which amplifies the heating caused by the initial heating of increased CO2. Note the caution they put on this based on clouds, perhaps a future topic, but what is it that amplifies that 1.2 degrees into <i>dangerous</i> temperatures which will destroy life as we know it? From the IPCC:<br />
<blockquote>The so-called water vapor feedback, caused by an increase in atmospheric water vapor due to a temperature increase, is the most important feedback responsible for the amplification of the temperature increase.</blockquote><br />
To summarize, a doubling of CO2 will cause the temperature to increase by 1.2 degC, this increased temperature will then cause more evaporation of water vapor (the primary greenhouse gas) into the atmosphere which will amplify the effect of the CO2 caused warming, got it? This is known as the "<i>enhanced greenhouse effect"</i>.<br />
<br />
It is as if having reached the bottom of the hill our ball creates its own jet propulsion which overcomes the negative feedback of friction and keeps on going. <br />
<br />
I mention all this in order that you may understand why the historical temperature records are so important. You see, in order for the enhanced greenhouse effect to work as a theory, it must work <i><b>regardless of the agent </b></i>of temperature increase.<br />
<br />
To put it simply, according to the theory, at some point the Earth's atmosphere will reach that famous <i>tipping point </i>temperature which will cause this chain reaction (the enhanced greenhouse effect) and it really does not matter how the Earth's atmosphere reaches that tipping point,<i> only that it does</i>-then we are cooked. <i>It is not the CO2 that will increase temperatures, it is the increased water vapor. </i>This also assumes that nature will not have some other negative feedback to counteract the warming temperatures, such as increased clouds.<i><br />
</i><br />
<br />
The entire enhanced greenhouse effect theory is a sham, but let's assume that it is not. In order for the alarmist to justify drastic action they must convince policy makers and the public that the current temperatures are unprecedented. Why ? Simply because if in the past had the Earth's temperatures been as high or higher than today for extended periods, then the enhanced greenhouse effect <i>should</i> have kicked in regardless of how the temperatures reached that tipping point.<br />
<br />
This is one important reason why the e-mails and data released are so important to the science question. These scientist were manipulating the historical record of past climate changes. It is not just that temperatures in the past were warmer without you driving your SUV, it goes to the very heart of the entire theory. If for example as was accepted <i><b>prior </b></i>to the AGW nonsense infecting science, the Medieval Warming Period was warmer than today, as was accepted until these guys got their hands and agenda on the data and the process, why did we not have runaway warming? Where was the enhanced greenhouse effect while they were making wine in England?<br />
<br />
This is also why having proponents and advocates for an unproven theory also being the keepers of the records and the gatekeepers of the process by which the science is examined is so dangerous. It is as if my wife (a teacher) allowed her students to grade their own papers and worse they were paid based on the grades they received.<br />
<br />
This is also why the scientist who promote this theory are so unscrupulous, they know this theory and the flaws in it. They <i>know </i>that the entire global warming hypothesis is a two step process yet they allow the public to believe, if not out right promote the idea, that carbon dioxide alone is going to trap the heat which will melt Santa's home and drown Polar Bears. They do this without making clear to the public that carbon dioxide itself is a harmless but critically important ingredient necessary to life on this planet and that only their unproven "second step" hocus pocus theory will cause the dangerous warming which they can neither accurately quantify and which is subject to a multitude of variables "<i>this uncertainty range arises from our limited knowledge of clouds and their interactions with radiation."</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
Do you believe that the public at large understands that CO2 by itself could do little more than warm the planet to more comfortable productive environment. Do you believe that the public at large understands that the reported "<i>settled</i>" science is just chock full of "<i>uncertainty</i>". Uncertainty that is possibly (probably) so large as to make this theory basically worthless. Do you believe the so called scientist who promote this theory as fact have adequately explained this to policy makers and the public? Or have they promoted an agenda and hidden the simple facts about their theory which are as easily explained as a child's ball rolling down a hill.<br />
<br />
<b><i>Update</i>: One not quite insignificant point I wanted to make but forgot is about this one assertion in the IPCC literature quoted above:\ </b><br />
<blockquote><b><i>It is <b>believed </b>that the overall effect of the feedback amplifies the temperature increase </i></b></blockquote><b> <br />
Does this sound convincing or even scientific, <i>"it is</i> <i>believed" </i>? Obviously it is not proven, which it is not, or they would have stated that. The best they can do is give ranges of what they<i> believe </i>this<i> </i>feedback will be which is called climate sensitivity, Upon that <i>belief</i> the entire theory rests. It is also that "<i>belief</i>" or assumption which is fed into the computer models which forecast global warning. without this "<i>belief</i>" the entire theory falls apart.</b>Jerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06458118248590461987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36615839857762509.post-80744179304134954862010-01-03T16:20:00.001-05:002010-01-03T16:20:40.050-05:00we breathe their breath, our breath they breatheWhen I was a child for a time I was blessed to live in the Big Sky country of eastern Montana. They call it the big sky because there are unending miles of rolling hills of grassy plains with few trees and even fewer communities to break the view. From horizon to horizon to horizon to horizon the skies reach the Earth without interruption to the human eye.<br /><br />On a clear night a young boy can climb a small hill in this vast openness, lie upon the grass and gaze upon the stars. It is always bright whether the moon is out or not, so immeasurable are the stars that light the night. <br /><br />Laying in the soft breeze and staring into the sky in such a place is not like a normal view of the night sky we are all familiar with, where the stars are like pin lights shining thought a black velvet cloth. No this is far different, as different as youth is from maturity. Looking into the sky at that place at that time is not to see the night filled with stars but rather to see the depths of the universe. Spiraling outward from the grassy hill is infinity, stars upon stars upon ever more stars as deep as the eye can perceive even beyond the imagination of a child.<br /><br />“Where does it end?” “Is there a wall?’ “What is on the other side?” Are there more stars there or is it just black emptiness on the other side?” “Who built the wall?” “There is no wall!” “So where does it end?” “Where does it start?” “Awe!”<br /><br />Only twice in adulthood have I even come close to experiencing the heavens as I did in the Big Sky, one moonless night in the Everglades and once in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico. Nothing however came close to the first time I stared into infinity and gasped with joy that I should see and feel such a thing. In that night in that place I knew there was a God, not because of the infinite Universe, but because I, a small child, could experience it and feel it and be a part of it. Touching infinity as it touched me.<br /><br />And that is the key, I and all peoples that have ever been or ever will be are a part of the Universe, not apart from it. I am not an intruder upon the landscape of creation I am a part of it. <br /><br />I recently posted a video by Sherwood Idso about carbon dioxide called the Breath of Life. In the video he uses his very breath to fertilize plant growth. Carbon Dioxide to plant life is as oxygen is to animal life. The symmetry of creation, the perfection of God, if you will, is that we breathe their breath, our breath they breathe. <br /><br />This is no small matter either for the participants, which amounts to all of life on Earth, or for ones view of the world. It comes down to a fundamental outlook which is wrought with irony, is man(kind) part of creation or an intruder upon it? The ironies are these:<br /><br />On the one side are those who do not believe in God, (no judgment here, I believe, belief is a gift from God) are most likely to view mankind as an intruder yet believe strongly in natural selection. In other words those who believe in what amounts to survival of the fittest are most likely to condemn mankind for practicing it.<br /><br />On the other side you have those who believe in God and most likely believe that God has put all creatures and life forms here for our use now arguing that man is not apart from nature but a part of it.<br /><br />This of course is a generalization, there are people who believe in God and believe also that we are destroying his creation through our actions a somewhat slap at God’s omnipotence in my opinion. There are also those who do not believe in God and do not believe that man is a destructive force in the scheme of things. <br /><br />There is a simple truth in all this. If there is a God then the end is of His/Her choosing so whether we view ourselves as a part or apart from creation is really irrelevant, His will be done. If on the other hand there is no God the process of natural selection will determine the outcome.<br /><br />The only other possibility defies both views, that man can determine the outcome apart from either God in which case why worship God? Or the evolution of natural selection is relevant to everything except man, in which case why have the theory? Either way the conclusion is the same -we are Gods.<br /><br />And that is what is so ironic about the current debate on “climate change”. The idea that some think that certain among us have evolved to a point where they know the outcome apart from either God or the laws of nature. Yet these same people do not seem to understand the simplicity less alond the divinity of we breathe their breath, our breath they breathe.Jerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06458118248590461987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36615839857762509.post-20420870078234499742009-12-30T12:09:00.045-05:002010-03-20T18:52:01.915-04:00<a

scientists letter to Chancellor Angela MerkelTo the attention of the Honorable Madam Angela Merkel, Chancellor of Germany<br /><br />When one studies history, one learns that the development of societies is often determined by a zeitgeist, which at times had detrimental or even horrific results for humanity. History tells us time and again that political leaders often have made poor decisions because they followed the advice of advisors who were incompetent or ideologues and failed to recognize it in time. Moreover evolution also shows that natural development took a wide variety of paths with most of them leading to dead ends. No era is immune from repeating the mistakes of the past.<br /><br />Politicians often launch their careers using a topic that allows them to stand out. Earlier as Minister of the Environment you legitimately did this as well by assigning a high priority to climate change. But in doing so you committed an error that has since led to much damage, something that should have never happened, especially given the fact you are a physicist. You confirmed that climate change is caused by human activity and have made it a primary objective to implement expensive strategies to reduce the so-called greenhouse gas CO2. You have done so without first having a real discussion to check whether early temperature measurements and a host of other climate related facts even justify it.<br /><br />A real comprehensive study, whose value would have been absolutely essential, would have shown, even before the IPCC was founded, that humans have had no measurable effect on global warming through CO2 emissions. Instead the temperature fluctuations have been within normal ranges and are due to natural cycles. Indeed the atmosphere has not warmed since 1998 – more than 10 years, and the global temperature has even dropped significantly since 2003.<br /><br />Not one of the many extremely expensive climate models predicted this. According to the IPCC, it was supposed to have gotten steadily warmer, but just the opposite has occurred.<br /><br />More importantly, there's a growing body of evidence showing anthropogenic CO2 plays no measurable role. Indeed CO2's capability to absorb radiation is already exhausted by today's atmospheric concentrations. If CO2 did indeed have an effect and all fossil fuels were burned, then additional warming over the long term would in fact remain limited to only a few tenths of a degree.<br /><br />The IPCC had to have been aware of this fact, but completely ignored it during its studies of 160 years of temperature measurements and 150 years of determined CO2 levels. As a result the IPCC has lost its scientific credibility. The main points on this subject are included in the accompanying addendum.<br /><br />In the meantime, the belief of climate change, and that it is manmade, has become a pseudo-religion. Its proponents, without thought, pillory independent and fact-based analysts and experts, many of whom are the best and brightest of the international scientific community. Fortunately in the internet it is possible to find numerous scientific works that show in detail there is no anthropogenic CO2 caused climate change. If it was not for the internet, climate realists would hardly be able to make their voices heard. Rarely do their critical views get published.<br /><br />The German media has sadly taken a leading position in refusing to publicize views that are critical of anthropogenic global warming. For example, at the second International Climate Realist Conference on Climate in New York last March, approximately 800 leading scientists attended, some of whom are among the world's best climatologists or specialists in related fields. While the US media and only the Wiener Zeitung (Vienna daily) covered the event, here in Germany the press, public television and radio shut it out. It is indeed unfortunate how our media have developed - under earlier dictatorships the media were told what was not worth reporting. But today they know it without getting instructions.<br /><br />Do you not believe, Madam Chancellor, that science entails more than just confirming a hypothesis, but also involves testing to see if the opposite better explains reality? We strongly urge you to reconsider your position on this subject and to convene an impartial panel for the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, one that is free of ideology, and where controversial arguments can be openly debated. We the undersigned would very much like to offer support in this regard.<br /><br />Respectfully yours,<br /><br />Prof. Dr.rer.nat.

While substantial concern has been expressed that emissions may cause significant climate change, measured or reconstructed temperature records indicate that 20th -21st century changes are neither exceptional nor persistent, and the historical and geological records show many periods warmer than today. In addition, there is an extensive scientific literature that examines beneficial effects of increased levels of carbon dioxide for both plants and animals.</em></strong><br /><br /><strong><em>Studies of a variety of natural processes, including ocean cycles and solar variability, indicate that they can account for variations in the Earth’s climate on the time scale of decades and centuries. Current climate models appear insufficiently reliable to properly account for natural and anthropogenic contributions to past climate change, much less project future climate.<br /><br />The APS supports an objective scientific effort to understand the effects of all processes – natural and human -- on the Earth’s climate and the biosphere’s response to climate change, and promotes technological options for meeting challenges of future climate changes, regardless of cause.<br /></em></strong><br />***********************************************************************************<br /><a href="http://www2.isi.edu/don_rapp_portrait_1-3.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 135px; height: 148px;" src="http://www2.isi.edu/don_rapp_portrait_1-3.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><a href="http://home.earthlink.net/~drdrapp/">Donald Rapp</a>-Chief Technologist, Mechanical and Chemical Systems, Jet Propulsion Laboratory (retired) USC Space Engineering Research Center,Professor of Physics and Environmental Engineering, University of Texas (1973-1979) Fellow APS<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.prideofpakistan.com:8080/images/users/244.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 133px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 182px" alt="" src="http://www.prideofpakistan.com:8080/images/users/244.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="http://www.prideofpakistan.com:8080/maincontroller?requestId=4&userId=244">Dr. Sultan Hameed</a> -Professor of Atmospheric Science School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences Stony Brook University, New York<br /><br /><a href="http://www.camse.org/underground/images/DeSalvo.JPG"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 220px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 283px" alt="" src="http://www.camse.org/underground/images/DeSalvo.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="http://www.ligo.caltech.edu/~desalvo/">Riccardo DeSalvo</a>-Senior Scientist Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) California Institute of Technology<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://cmrr.ucsd.edu/people/berkowitz/berkowitz.gif"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 90px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 108px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://cmrr.ucsd.edu/people/berkowitz/berkowitz.gif" border="0" /></a><a href="http://cmrr.ucsd.edu/people/berkowitz/#bio">Ami E.

The proposed limits on greenhouse gases would harm the environment, hinder the advance of science and technology, and damage the health and welfare of mankind.<br /><br /><strong>There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gasses is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth's atmosphere and disruption of the Earth's climate. Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the Earth.</strong> </blockquote><br /><br /><a href="http://www.nre.ufl.edu/Images/faculty_photos/dugan.png"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 75px; height: 100px;" src="http://www.nre.ufl.edu/Images/faculty_photos/dugan.png" border="0" alt="" /></a><a href="http://www.nre.ufl.edu/department/perspages/dugan.php">Dr Edward T.
