The UN's Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change
( IPCC ),
when discussing
the greenhouse
effects of CO2,
uses the concept
of idealized dry air.
You can create dry air
in a science laboratory,
as an artificial gas that
does not occur in nature.
There is no such thing
as dry air in nature.
Even deserts have moisture.
For the UN's IPCC reports
on the greenhouse effects of CO2,
ignoring liquid water (clouds)
and water vapor, is committing
science fraud,
Because including water vapor
in the air changes the calculations
of the effects of other greenhouse gases.
It's a serious problem
that global climate models
don't capture clouds
( liquid H2O ),
or changing
atmospheric
water vapor
( gaseous H2O )
in their calculations.
Water vapor is a
greenhouse gas,
in the atmosphere.
The concentration
of water vapor
in the atmosphere
near the surface
in the tropics,
is about 100 times greater
than the concentration
of carbon dioxide,
another greenhouse gas.
Water vapor reduces
the influence of other
greenhouse gases,
especially carbon dioxide,
and methane.
The absorption capability
of greenhouse gases
in the atmosphere ,
WITH water vapor,
is very different from
the absorption capability
in a laboratory,
WITH NO water vapor,
used for IPCC claims.
The hi-resolution transmission
molecular absorption database
( HITRAN ), at Harvard,
us used to predict and
simulate the transmission
and emission of light
in the atmosphere.
The absorption capability
of methane is slightly greater
than 4 times the absorption
capability of CO2
– not the 200 plus times
greater claimed by the IPCC.
In the lower troposphere,
where most of the greenhouse
effect occurs, water vapor is
up to 100 times more
concentrated than CO2.
Calculations indicate the influence
of water vapor is 14 times greater
than CO2.
The IPCC does NOT calculate
what is actually happening
in the atmosphere.
That is deliberate science fraud !
That's why their climate models,
on average, grossly over predict
actual global warming.
The actual warming rate
since 1940 was only
1/4 of the warming rate
climate models predict.
The actual warming rate
since 1979 was only
1/3 of the warming rate
climate models predict.
The fear of CO2 is built on
long-term predictions
from global climate models ,
that are grossly inaccurate
-- wrong for over 30 years !
The basic physics of IR
( Infrared Radiation )
strongly suggests CO2
should cause mild warming
in the troposphere.
Some global warming
may be caused by
adding CO2 to the
atmosphere -- that's an
assumption, not a fact.
It's impossible to measure
how much warming is caused
by man made CO2, and how
much warming has natural causes.
There is evidence that man made CO2
has caused some warming since 1940,
and just as much evidence that the
global warming had natural causes.
The percentages of each cause are unknown.
What is known are the positive effects
of adding CO2 to the atmosphere,
on plant growth, clearly visible
with the greening of our planet.
The negative effects of adding CO2
to the atmosphere are something
no one has seen, or measured, in the
past 78 years.
The negative effects of CO2 exist only in
overactive imaginations of smarmy
leftists, who use a false threat of CO2
in an effort to control and tax energy use
on this planet !
The negative effects of burning fossil fuels
depends on whether or not the burning
is done with modern pollution controls.
CO2 itself, however, is not pollution.
We need to measure the energy flow
from the Earth, through the atmosphere,
to space.
This infrared energy heat transfer process
must be measured from space.
That can be done with weather satellites,
which do exist, but the IPCC completely
ignores them.
The satellites are ignored
because they measure
LESS global warming
than the far less accurate
surface instruments,
which do not have close
to global coverage,
yet are used to compile
a surface global average
temperature !
Real science can NOT be done
with IPCC models,
based on theories from the 1970s,
that have grossly over predicted
global warming for over 30 years,
but the theories are NEVER revised !
It's important to understand what is
really happening in the atmosphere,
versus the fantasy world
of computer models.
There are reports that climate modelers
preparing for the next IPCC assessment
report ( IPCC AR6, due 2021 )
are being asked to
increase the warming
effect of CO2 in their models.
More science fraud.
I suppose the current models, predicting
quadruple the actual warming rate
since 1940 ( the cause of the warming
is unknown ) are not scary enough !
Climate models are NOT real science.
Their predictions are NOT data.
Models are climate astrology,
when they make wrong predictions,
that are used to scare people.
And scared people
are much more easily
controlled by smarmy
leftist politicians.
And that's the
climate change game !
