CO2 = Global Warming? NOT!

[j2k4]

It's hot where I live.

But not where I am.

Go figure, huh?

...lol, cause its never hot in Miami

So did you actually read the article from NASA? According to them the new data is not agreeing with your 101, just sayin...

?

Think of the window off of your car. Does it reflect light? absolutely. Does it let light through? Yup. Does it get stupid hot inside on a sunny day if you leave your windows closed? Of course.

Heat Transfer 101. It is the same reason the interior of your car warms up when it sits out in the sun.


The amount of energy radiated is relative to the surface temperature, and the ability for the radiant heat to penetrate a layer (glass, carbon dioxide, anything) is relative to this surface temperature and ultimately the wavelength.

In summation, solar energy radiated by the sun is able to blow through our atmosphere because of wavelength related to the surface temperature of the sun, but that energy is then trapped and unable to re-radiate back into space because of the wavelength of the energy radiating from the surface of the Earth which is related to the Earth's surface temperature.

A more succint summary: you don't know what you are talking about so please go kick some cans.

A) what Coop said
B) Somebody that buys into this "Global warming"...excuse me it's man made "Climate Change" now, saying I don't know what I'm talking about is pretty damn funny. yeah I could be wrong but at least I don't believe the 3rd biggest lie in human history.

so you sir can go kick a can all the way to the recycling center but try not to breath to much. don't want you pumping to much CO2 into the atmosphere and kill us all by melting or freezing the Earth or whatever the scare tactic is these days.

watch kids the next panic bulletin will be, "the Earth is going to remain exactaly the same and that's going to mess up the natural cycle of things.

I wish NASA would check with AO before they just run with this kind of thing.

They must have skipped heat transfer 101, huh?

Bunch of scientists in this biatch.

The trouble is all these twats have to come up with something every now and then to justify there positions and there many thousands of dollar salaries. Don't mean to say its fact, just what they dreamt up one night worrying about there jobs.
This what I do know, the world is a little warmer than it was 100 years ago. 100 years ago the world was a little warmer than it was 100 years before that. This pattern is repeated as you go back in time all the way back to the Ice age. I suspect that this pattern will continue until some point when the conditions are right for the process to reverse itself and slowly over millions of years we will slide back into an ice age.

no fucking way. it's WAY more possible that man is just that awesome so much that he did it 100% on his own. no solar progression. no solar cycles. no cosmic forces in play. no natural balance to how earth's atmosphere handles changes in temperature. nope, man HAS to be responsible. ego-centrism won't allow any other solution.
