Water Vapor Rules the Greenhouse System

Monte Hieb at Geocraft.com Last revised: January 10, 2003 Just how much of the “Greenhouse Effect” is caused by human activity? It is about 0.28%, if water vapor is taken into account– about 5.53%, if not. This point is so crucial to the debate over global warming that how water vapor is or isn’tfactored into an analysis of Earth’s greenhouse gases makes the difference between describing a significant human contribution to the greenhouse effect, or a negligible one.

Climate Science’s Myth-Buster

Climate Science’s Myth-Buster

It’s time to be scientific about global warming, says climatologist Judith Curry. City Journal Guy Sorman | Winter 2019 We’ve all come across the images of polar bears drifting on ice floes: emblematic victims of the global warming that’s melting the polar ice caps, symbols of the threat to the earth posed by our ceaseless energy production—above all, the carbon dioxide that factories and automobiles emit. We hear louder and louder demands to impose limits, to change our wasteful ways, so as to save not only the bears but also the planet and ourselves.

Science or Science Fiction? Professionals’ Discursive Construction of Climate Change

Lianne M. Lefsrud, Renate E. Meyer First Published November 19, 2012 Research Article https://doi.org/10.1177/0170840612463317 Abstract This paper examines the framings and identity work associated with professionals’ discursive construction of climate change science, their legitimation of themselves as experts on ‘the truth’, and their attitudes towards regulatory measures. Drawing from survey responses of 1077 professional engineers and geoscientists, we reconstruct their framings of the issue and knowledge claims to position themselves within their organizational and their professional institutions. In understanding the struggle over what constitutes and legitimizes expertise, we make apparent the heterogeneity of claims, legitimation strategies, and use of emotionality …

Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW); A Tangled Web Strangling Its Creators and Proponents

Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW); A Tangled Web Strangling Its Creators and Proponents

WUWT March 3, 2019 Guest opinion: Dr. Tim Ball Two recent events triggered the idea for this article. On the surface, they appear unconnected, but that is an indirect result of the original goal and methods of global warming science. We learned from Australian Dr, Jennifer Marohasy of another manipulation of the temperature record in an article titled “Data mangling: BoM’s Changes to Darwin’s Climate History are Not Logical.” The second involved the claim of final, conclusive evidence of Anthropogenic Global Warming ((AGW). The original article appeared in the journal Nature Climate Change. Because it is in this journal raises …

Climate Crisis: A Modern-Day Witch Hunt?

Climate Crisis: A Modern-Day Witch Hunt?

CBN 02-27-2019 Dale Hurd A new book predicts “100 Million Climate Refugees by 2050.” Disagree, and you’re likely to be labeled a “climate denier” because, we’re told,  “the science is settled.” No Climate Debate Allowed Host Chuck Todd told viewers, “We’re not going to debate [climate change]. We’re not going to give time to climate deniers. The science is settled, even if political opinion is not.” These Top Climate Scientists Are Skeptical But the science of climate change is only settled for those who believe the climate models, or those scientists afraid of losing research dollars by denying it’s a …

Note on the Theory of the Greenhouse

PHILOSOPHICAL MAGAZINE AND JOURNAL OF SCIENCE VOL. XVII.—SIXTH SERIES. JANUARY—JUNE 1909. [Page 319] By Professor R. W. Wood THERE appears to be a widespread belief that the comparatively high temperature produced within a closed space covered with glass, and exposed to solar radiation, results from a transformation of wave-length, that is, that the heat waves from the sun, which are able to penetrate the glass, fall upon the walls of the enclosure and raise its temperature : the heat energy is re-emitted by the walls in the form of much longer waves, which are unable to penetrate the glass, the …
