wrong!

it is affecting things like plants. more CO2 will effect plant and animal evolution. There was a time on earth when there was a crapload more CO2. The successful species adapted by having bigger stomata and bigger leaves to absorb more CO2. before long there will be gigantic leaved trees everywhere with a bunch of badass gigantic frogs eating gigantic mosquitos. it's only a matter of time.


How much CO2 increase will cause this? How much heating does increasing CO2 in the atmosphere from 0.03% to 0.04% cause?

We know that our Earth is kept warm by greenhouse gases
We do? How much heat do they emit? Finally, why don’t cykineers of welding gas—pure CO2– not heat up?

Probably never since the biosphere has done a pretty good job keeping up with what is released naturally.
Really? So CO2 levels have been constant throughout history? Is that your assertion?

We can debate the actual degree of anthropgenic climate change all day, but this is basic physics.

Its also just a single variable in a system with literally thousands of DOF. It sounds all “sciencey” but it’s really sophomoric over simplification.

doesn't matter. it all boils down to quantum physics. a particle can exist in 2 places as once. what is observable now on venus may not be there tomorrow and theoretically it could all be on earth tomorrow. That would really warm things up. Personally i think we are in a wormhole. kinda like if you blow quantum theory up on a much more grand scale. we are in a 3 dimensional worm hole with a 2 dimensional plane on the other side when we emerge. kinda like neurons firing in your brain are able to translate information from both eyes and form a 3 dimensional object that you can recognize and observe.

no shite. damn there are some gullible idiots around here.

if all ya'll so smart why don't ya'll go work for tesla hustling green credits make a billion dollars and start a website dedicated to proving this wrong. Link all your articles back here for clicks and you'll become uber wealthy.

isnt this why you introduce z (compressibility factor) into the equation, which becomes the real gas law rather than ideal to account for the changing density at different P&Ts?


Yeah, the comprehensibility factor accounts for deviations from ideal behavior. Like when a gas is close to a phase change or it's critical point, low T or high P conditions. There's still a relationship between density (well volume since we're not altering the mass) and a given T and P. Just a different response than if it was high T, low P settings like the IGL is good for.

So when you set the density and the pressure, you defined the temperature.
No. if that were the case intercoolers wouldn’t exist

An intercooler exists to lower the temperature of compressed air to increase the density. Just a heat exchanger.

If you needed the intercooler to get air at the pressure you want to the density you want it, you'd design it to cool the air to the temperature to achieve that density.

Maybe I am a madman. Maybe I’m fricking brilliant. Maybe a little of both.

I’m actually waiting for this to become a liberal talking point. Deep down we know it’s all coming.

What are you even trying to argue?

Give me the density and pressure, the mass isn't changing, and we're assuming ideal behavior. P, V, mass, R all defined. You're telling me the temperature can be different values without changing any of the rest of it, and keep the same density?

You have one too many constants.

What a surprise, you won't state your point.

Not for the example of using the IGL for Venus's surface temperature that Gumbo and I were having.

The assumptions are that it's a set amount of gas, with an unchanging composition. We're assuming it follows the IGL assumptions (which, not great for the system). The pressure is given. Then the density is stated, which sets the volume since the mass isn't changing.

What is it that I'm stating as constant that isn't?
