    Re: Scienticians Yammer On about "Global Warming" Nonsense

    Son, you will find here at Landover Baptist that we occasionally seem harsh, but that is for a good reason. All the LIEbrals in the schools have gone easy on the present generation, refusing to give anyone failing grades because it might harm their student's delicate little self-esteem. The results of this are quite obvious. It has produced youngsters with uncritical minds, willing to absorb only what is handed to them so they will eventually vote for the crybaby Demoncrats. It has also lead to the sin of pride, more colloquially known as arrogant, obnoxious, self-absorbed little brats who will eventually grow up to be insufferable adults. Jesus hates these kinds of people. But I digress. We are here to teach you about global warming and to save your soul for Jesus.

    Once again someone handed you one of those "simplified" charts that hide what is really going on and leaves out information that Al Gore inconveniently left out of his presentation.

    1. Using the following chart for energy absorption bands, demonstrate your understanding of "degradation of energy" by answering the following questions (the first line to the left on the chart is O3 - Ozone).

    a. Correct your description of the role and function of ozone.
    Like I mentioned...

    b. The chart lists several atmospheric greenhouse gasses. Which one of them absorbs the most energy?
    O3 does.

    c. Using any available source (open book question), what is the percentage contribution to global warming for each gas?
    Carbon Dioxide 72%
    Methane 18 %
    Nitrous Oxide 9 %

    d. What would the temperature of the earth be without an atmosphere?
    Without the greenhouse effect, the average temperature on earth would be -15°C instead of 15 °C

    2. The following chart graphs the earth's temperature variation since about 1860 (blue line) along with two other variables. If you were to make an educated guess as to which of the other two variables (parameters) shown in the graph was the cause of that variation, which one would it be?

      a. Wrong again, G-Baby. Ozone is formed by ultraviolet solar radiation and its effect is to block solar radiation of less than 290nm from reaching the earth. It produces a temperature maximum at 50km (stratopause/mesopeak). It does not contribute to "Global Warming" and, if anything, reduces temperatures in the lower atmosphere by blocking ultraviolet radiation from reaching the earth. Ultraviolet radiation is also harmful to life, and thus shields the earth from this radiation as a secondary role.

      b. Wrong again, G-Baby. O3 only absorbs in the ultraviolet region. Even accounting for Planck's constant, the other gasses in the chart absorb much more energy over the entire spectrum of solar radiation.

      c. Wrong again, G-Baby. Water vapor accounts for about 90% of the "greenhouse" effect (in the form of 70% water vapor and another 20% for clouds). CO2 accounts for between 4.2% and 8.4% of earth's "greenhouse" effect. Water vapor also has absorption windows overlapping those of CO2, and the effects of CO2 are logarithmic, not exponential.

      d. Wrong again, G-Baby. The question was the temperature of the earth without an atmosphere. The moon (which does not have an atmosphere) has surface temperatures of -387 Fahrenheit at night to +253 Fahrenheit during the day.

      2. Congratulations, G-Baby. You finally got one out of 5 correct. That gives you a score of 20%, which if graded on the curve (like the LIEberals like to do) with your other imbecile friends here, might just merit you a passing grade.

      Now here is the chart with the parameters identified. You might want to give your friend al-Gore a call and give him the inconvenient truth.
