Comments on the Proof of the atmospheric greenhouse effect

Gerhard Kramm, Ralph Dlugi, and Michael Zelger University of Alaska Fairbanks, Geophysical Institute 903 Koyukuk Drive, P.O. Box 757320, Fairbanks, AK 99775-7320, USA Arbeitsgruppe Atmosphärische Prozesse (AGAP), Gernotstraße, D-80804 Munich, Germany Abstract: In this paper it is shown that Smith (2008) used inappropriate and inconsistent formulations in averaging various quantities over the entire surface of the Earth considered as a sphere. Using two instances of averaging procedures as customarily applied in studies on turbulence, it is shown that Smith’s formulations are highly awkward. Furthermore, Smith’s discussion of the infrared absorption in the atmosphere is scrutinized and evaluated. It is shown …

Reply to “Comment on ‘Falsification Of The Atmospheric CO2 Greenhouse Effects Within The Frame Of Physics” by Joshua B. Halpern, et al

Gerhard Gerlich, Ralf D. Tscheuschner (Submitted on 2 Dec 2010) It is shown that the notorious claim by Halpern et al. recently repeated in their comment that the method, logic, and conclusions of our “Falsification Of The CO2 Greenhouse Effects Within The Frame Of Physics” would be in error has no foundation. Since Halpern et al. communicate our arguments incorrectly, their comment is scientifcally vacuous. In particular, it is not true that we are “trying to apply the Clausius statement of the Second Law of Thermodynamics to only one side of a heat transfer process rather than the entire process” …

What’s Wrong with the Claim that “97% of Climate Scientists Agree” about Global Warming?

Cornwall Alliance June 8, 2017 By Neil L. Frank, Ph.D. A variety of studies have purported to find an overwhelming consensus among climate scientists on global warming. However, the studies rarely specify what it is to which the scientists agree. Usually it is nothing more than that the earth has warmed since 1800 and that human activity has contributed significantly to the warming—something almost no skeptics would deny. No study—whether a survey of published articles or a survey directly of scientists—has found anything remotely near a 97% consensus not only that the earth has warmed and that human activity has …

Global Warming; 31,487 Scientists say NO to Alarm

The Global Warming Petition project; Started by Dr Art Robinson in response to the false alarm over CO2; http://www.petitionproject.org/seitz_… and http://www.petitionproject.org/index.php Was signed by 31,487 scientists (in the USA alone) list here; http://www.petitionproject.org/signer… they all say that there is no cause for any alarm over our CO2 emissions. On the other side, there are just 18 scientists who worked on attribution in the WG1 of the IPCC’s latest report, AR5. At least 3 of those 18 are still students.

The Great Flood Myth

Tony Heller In this video, I shows the superstition and misinformation being spread by the press about Midwest flooding, which historically has happened very often. Midwest flooding is an indication that the climate has not changed.

Rescue from the Climate Saviors

Is the “Global Climate” really in Danger? By Klaus Ermecke Politicians want to save the world and spend the money of their countrymen. We ask: Is the “global climate” in any real danger? Introduction If one believes politicians and the media, the world is in danger: the earth is heating up – catastrophe will result – and civilization is the cause! Even school children are frightened and taught that mankind can and must save the climate. But this message is linked to a hidden agenda. Its purpose is to prepare the citizens for sacrifice: Rescue is possible – maybe – …

Has global warming already arrived?

C.A.Varotsos, M.N.Efstathiou Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics Volume 182, January 2019, Pages 31-38 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jastp.2018.10.020 Highlights • The global warming during 1978–2018 was not more enhanced at high latitudes near the surface. • The intrinsic properties of the lower stratospheric temperature are not related to those in the troposphere. • The results obtained do not reveal the global warming occurrence.

Junk science of Climate Sensitivity and CO2 forcing

Principia Scientific Tim Ball | April 15, 2016 We recently published an article by Edward Hoskins entitled “The Junk Science Of A Supposed Climate Sensitivity Formula”. The author requested a review from PSI’s former chairman Dr. Tim Ball, which we pleased to be publishing below with extracts from the original article.

The diminishing influence of increasing Carbon Dioxide on temperature

Ed Hoskins August 10, 2014 Using data published by the IPCC on the diminishing effect of increasing CO2 concentrations and the latest proportional information on global Man-made CO2 emissions, these notes examine the potential for further warming by CO2 emissions up to 1000ppmv and the probable consequences of decarbonisation policies being pursued by Western governments. The temperature increasing capacity of atmospheric CO2 is real enough, but its influence is known and widely accepted to diminish as its concentration increases. It has a logarithmic in its relationship to concentration. Global Warming advocates and Climate Change sceptics both agree on this.

The effectiveness of CO2 as a greenhouse gas becomes ever more marginal with greater concentration

By Ed Hoskins May 8, 2013 According to well understood physical parameters, the effectiveness of CO2 as a greenhouse gas diminishes logarithmically with increasing concentration and from the current level of ~390 ppmv, (parts per million by volume). Accordingly only ~5% of the effectiveness of CO2 as a greenhouse gas remains beyond the current level. This inconvenient fact is well understood in the climate science community. It can be accurately modeled using the Modtran program maintained and supported at the University of Chicago.
