Quick climate change fact check

The masking tape analogy.

Easy to tell who this video is aimed at

Facts are stubborn things.
But so are those that worship at the altar of anthropogenic climate change. They have their theory and facts be damned. See the downvotes.

Climate has always changed. It happened before mankind.

Everyone tell their cattle it is ok to fart.

I'm saying the analogy they used it makes it clear who it's aimed at.

water vapor good

methane and C02 baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad

So are they wrong, or do you just not like the analogy they used?

It’s a poor analogy.

A better analogy is painting an unpainted barn. Paint is solar radiation. The first coat does a decent job from natural wood to crimson red. The difference between the bear wood and first coat is pretty drastic. The second coat is better than just the first coat but the change is not as drastic as the first change. Then after the third coat the third change is not as drastic as the second change, etc. etc.


This is what she was trying to say:






This is a function of the CO2 material property called heat capacity in energy per unit mass. The amount of heat, i.e., vibrations decrease logarithmically as energy (heat) is added.

The term I like is "diminishing returns". It's short and to the point, which climate acolytes need.

A lot of the responses on the link are simply blind denial, as if "logarithmic radiative forcing" is not a known and scientifically proven event.

I for one am enjoying the climate change. 8 inches of snow in January and a very mild summer so far.

wasn't America was mostly covered under an ice sheet only about 20k years ago?

The reason there isn't a mile thick sheet of ice on top of Chicago is because of man's industrial activity - which started apace about 250 years ago.

the last ice sheets were gone about 6000 years ago. Its almost like there is something else responsible

Maybe not. I learned this morning reading the paper about "corn sweating." The article, WAPO article, said corn sweating releases large amounts of moisture thus raising himidity levels where it is grown.

I guess the Post will be arguing with itself when it claims we need more corn for ethanol but then less corn to lower humidity levels. That have arrived at a conundrum it seems.

Yes, the process of corn "sweating," also known as evapotranspiration, contributes to increased humidity in the atmosphere, particularly in agricultural regions like the Midwest. This is because corn plants release water vapor through their leaves, which can significantly raise the dew point and make it feel more humid.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
Evapotranspiration:
.
Corn, like all plants, releases water vapor into the atmosphere through its leaves as part of the process of evapotranspiration.
Water Release:
.
A single acre of corn can release thousands of gallons of water per day during the growing season.
Increased Humidity:
.
This water vapor adds to the overall moisture in the air, increasing the humidity and making it feel more humid.
Impact on Heat:
.
Higher humidity levels can make hot temperatures feel even more uncomfortable by reducing the body's ability to cool itself through sweat evaporation.
