The Basic Science of Global Warming

Or maybe 98.51 because horses fart.

But, hey, just go ahead and ignore the science-- you have that right. I'm sure your pastor knows so much more about climate science than all those climate scientists.

I'm sure all the pastors would quote every bit of climate "science". Probably standard training at the Vatican run seminary.

Ya, right. :rolleyes:

A greater chance there because a priest must have the equivalent of just short of a master's degree, plus they are required to take classwork in secular studies as well. Fortunately, they generally well understand that climate change is a serious matter with more than sufficient evidence to back it up, with the current pope leading the charge.

Yes because the pope and friends know they can better manage the world econimies through UN regulations in the name of climate change. Got to have that "moral" reason to rob. So they skew the data, whatever says climate change "yea" get to stay and the rest goes away, down the memory hole. Fairly simple to understand.

Don't worry, China's going to take the lead on mitigating global climate change. I'm sure it will all be fixed in no time.

Oh yes, the "International Catholic Conspiracy" for world domination. Got it! :rolleyes:

Yeah, today was 98.5 degrees outside. If everybody stopped using electricity and traded their cars for horses it could have been 98.4999999 degrees.
Yet another example of how you obviously have no idea what climate change is (or the term "climate" even means). The temperature being lesser or greater in one specific area does not evidence anything regarding climate.

lol ... that's a joke, right? If not, what evidence do you have to support this seemingly outlandish claim?
No. He (or she) truly believes in this conspiracy (orchestrated by Satan, as he thinks).[/QUOTE]

How can trace amounts of CO2 absorb all radiation?

I can answer this question using maths. But a simple chemistry experiment will do. Heat radiation is like light, made up of photons that travel through medium. So the principles that govern light radiation apply there too. Take a jar of water and take a tube of black water soluble paint. Now tell how many grams of paint needs to be dissolved into how many grams of water so that one cannot see the bottom of the water surface from the top.

What is this supposed to mean?

That it is interplanetary warming not just our globe.
A personal belief and food for thought; a bunch of people are not keen on the idea. I feel this as truth though and it makes sense to myself.

this shows a lot of detail;

I believe the atmosphere is about to change to allow for DNA upgrades.

Here is an extremely informative figure on the role CO2, H2O and CH4 plays as a greenhouse gas by absorbing heat radiation. The first set of figures show the % of radiation absorbed by each gas over the various wavelengths as measured in labs, while the last figure shows the absorption measured in the atmosphere. It is seen that the combined action of the greenhouse gases causes the atmosphere to absorb most of the infrared heat radiation (>1 micrometer).
