CO2 diffusion in polar ice: observations from naturally formed CO2 spikes in the Siple Dome (Antarctica) ice core

Jinho AHN, Melissa HEADLY, Martin WAHLEN, Edward J. BROOK, Paul A. MAYEWSKI, Kendrick C. TAYLOR ABSTRACT. One common assumption in interpreting ice-core CO2 records is that diffusion in the ice does not affect the concentration profile. However, this assumption remains untested because the extremely small CO2 diffusion coefficient in ice has not been accurately determined in the laboratory. In this study we take advantage of high levels of CO2 associated with refrozen layers in an ice core from Siple Dome, Antarctica, to study CO2 diffusion rates. We use noble gases (Xe /Ar and Kr /Ar), electrical conductivity and Ca2+ ion …

Thirty Years of Unique Data Reveal What’s Really Killing Coral Reefs

Brian Lapointe, Ph.D., senior author and a research professor at FAU’s Harbor Branch, swims above bleached coral reefs in Looe Key in the lower Florida Keys. (Photo credit: Marie Tarnowski) Florida Atlantic University By gisele galoustian | 7/15/2019 Coral reefs are considered one of the most threatened ecosystems on the planet and are dying at alarming rates around the world. Scientists attribute coral bleaching and ultimately massive coral death to a number of environmental stressors, in particular, warming water temperatures due to climate change. A study published in the international journal Marine Biology , reveals what’s really killing coral reefs. …

Hello My Dear Greta and Fellow Thinkers

Man and fossil fuel use do not increase atmospheric carbon dioxide content ; natural laws of physics do. What is our relationship to the natural world? Do we view ourselves as separate from it, as masters and manipulators of the environment? Or do we see ourselves as interconnected and interdependent with all that surrounds us?

The CO2 tempest in a teapot scandal

The CO2 tempest in a teapot scandal

Bud Bromley May 11, 2022 CO2 “crisis” is a “tempest in a teapot” or a “storm in a teacup.” “Excitabat fluctus in simpulo” ~ Cicero, in De Legibus, circa 52 BC Consider a pot of boiling water.  If more water is added to the pot, the boiling point of the water does not change.  The time required to boil the water changes and/or the amount of heat required to boil the water changes, but the boiling point does not change.  The boiling point does change under certain other conditions, for example if salt or other substances are added to the …

The Physics & Chemistry of Carbon Dioxide Formation, Absorption, Gasification and Transport in the Earth’s Atmosphere & Hydrosphere

The Physics & Chemistry of Carbon Dioxide Formation, Absorption, Gasification and Transport in the Earth’s Atmosphere & Hydrosphere

Abstract The total amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is independent of biogenic and anthropogenic CO2 generation and primarily dependent on temperature gradients on the surface of the oceans. The Earth’s atmosphere contains a trace amount of CO2 at 0.04% in a gaseous mixture of predominately nitrogen, oxygen, and argon. All life forms on Earth are carbon based. Plants acquire their carbon from gaseous carbon dioxide or CO2 in the atmosphere and convert it to plant cells through photosynthesis. Mammals acquire their carbon by eating plants. Biogenic carbon dioxide is produced naturally by animals, bacteria and the decomposition of …

Man Does Not Create Global Warming or Climate Change & We Will Prove It

By: Tomer (Tom) D. Tamarkin 11 August 2021 Anthropogenic global warming (AGW,) sometimes referred to as manmade climate change, is the largest lie, fraud, and deceit, ever perpetuated by man against mankind. Unfortunately it is very complicated and complex for non-scientists to understand. Thus the average person does not attempt to analyze and evaluate it and therefore has ambivalent feelings about it. However, the climate change fraud is responsible for trillions of dollars in damages annually…not by weather and climate…but by man’s ill-conceived responses such as carbon taxes, the green energy scam, and countless government programs taking taxpayer dollars in …

Comprehensive Analytical Study of the Greenhouse Effect of the Atmosphere

Photo: Algarve University, Portugal The greenhouse effect can be as good as rejected and Henry’s Law stays firmly standing. Photo: Peter Stallinga In this manuscript we take a look at the greenhouse effect with fully-analytical techniques, starting with physical laws, and avoid any computational tools, in an attempt to determine the climate variations caused by the greenhouse effect. The correlation between temperature and CO2 concentration is readily explained by another phenomenon, called Henry’s Law: The capacity of liquids to hold gases in solution is depending on temperature. When oceans heat up, the capacity decreases and the oceans thus release CO2 …
