re: Climatology: more hot, dryness for Texas

It's just the heat capacity of atmospheric gases and the ratio from the initial to the proposed. This assumes that energy inputs (sun) remain static. If energy inputs do not remain static then you have use q=Cp*dt with the new Cp proportion.

Did you calculate for compounding interest as more heat is trapped in the oceans?

Curious what your degree is in and what you do for a living. You havecsone strong stances in here. Surely you back them up with your own thoughts, right?

The fact you can make that statement means you’re not actually a climate crazy

Doesn't matter. The heat capacity is the amount of heat required to change the temperature of a given amount of matter by one degree. It matters not where the energy comes from or in what form. Specific molecules can only hold so much heat (which is a measure of vibration) until the temp is raise one degree as defined by heat capacity. When you have a mixture of molecules the total heat capacity is simply a composite of the mixture.

For example the heat capacity of air with CO2 at 400 ppm is 1.00955823 kilojoule per kelvin. When CO2 is 2000 ppm and the other constituents are decreased proportionally to the increase in CO2 the heat capacity is slightly lowered to 1.00929707817216 kilojoules per kelvin.

Because the Cp is slightly lowered with an increase in CO2 concentration the temp can be raise one degree with less energy when the atmosphere mixture contains 2000 ppm versus 400 ppm.

These are very basic calculations. I would be doing the same type of calculations to size a boiler or heat exchanger.

They’re are never right about anything. They predicted 3-5 major hurricanes the last few years and it has been relatively quiet.

Interestingly, the climate sims predict that warming will take place toward the poles with little to none toward the equator. That would put less contrasting energy in the system and result in milder weather.
