QED. Any one of these you would like to discuss further?
This is great. You are making this very fun. Thank you. Let the coal-raking begin.
1. CO2 is a known greenhouse gas meaning it can absorb IR radiation
There is no such thing as a
greenhouse gas that somehow differs from any other gas. If you had paid attention in school you would have learned that all substances absorb IR. You would certainly know this if you had ever learned Planck's law, Stefan-Boltzmann and the other black body science models ... but you never did, so you weren't able to call boooooolsch't when you were fed the shit. You just ate it up. Anyway, you are going to have HUGE problems when we get to Stefan-Boltzmann and the other black body science models. Yes, you're going to have to pull a Cypress and rush to make an assault over the Google/Quora/Wikipedia panorama, ... and it won't help you. Sorry. But isn't this fun? I told you it would be.
(been known since the middle 1800's with the work of Fourier and Tyndal)
Too funny! You really are the gullible type who just can't be bothered to perform his due diligence on the crap he is told to believe. Sure Fourier and Tyndal did work in this area ... and all of their work has been purged from the body of science because it was all wrong. The scientific method falsified it all and it was discarded. Your slave-masters never filled you in on that part. I'd ask you to recall that you were never taught "Fourier Climate Science" or the "Tyndall Climate Model" because there are no such things ... but you were too busy playing hooky from school so you wouldn't know what was taught and what wasn't.
2. Energy is neither created nor destroyed so absorbed IR energy needs to be accounted for.
Exactly, and you
WON'T account for it. You can't. Watch.
You claim an increase in the earth's average temperature. Nothing spontaneously increases in temperature without
additional energy. Ergo, if you are claiming an increase in temperature, you must account for the existence of this
additional energy that was not there previously. Of course you can't violate the 1st law of thermodynamics, so amaze me by accounting for the existence of this
additional energy that increases the earth's temperature. When and how does this additional energy come into existence?
p.s. I already know what move your playbook will require you to make (i.e. there is no additional energy, it is energy that is already there) and I'm all ready to bust it up ... but I have to wait for you to formally "go there." So take your time. Don't feel rushed.
3. The Greenhouse Effect is why the earth's surface temperature is about 30+degC higher than the blackbody temperature of the earth from the Stefan Boltzmann equation
This is boooolsch't that you were ordered to regurgitate and you OBEYED, despite having no idea what you just wrote. I am an expert in black body science and specifically the Stefan-Boltzmann law, and you wrote nothing but gibberish. The earth's temperature is exactly what it is supposed to be. There is no subjunctive mood in science. The Stefan-Boltzmann law computes RADIANCE given temperature. Nobody knows the earth's average temperature to any useful accuracy. There is no greenhouse effect outside of your religious dogma (see point #2 above).
4. Increasing the amount of CO2 and other greenhouse gases leads to warming naturally
Nope. But let's keep this fun. Using science, show your assertion to be correct.
5. Humans produce a LOT of CO2 in excess of natural fluxes
Humans produce a NEGLIGIBLE amount of CO2 relative to the amount of CO2 that is consumed by the earth's plant life. Any additional CO2 that is produced by humans is greedily consumed by plants. CO2 is plant food, in case you weren't aware. There are no plants that are somehow "on a diet."
6. We KNOW it is largely human produced excess CO2
Who is "We"? Oh, this is the Marxist "We", right? ... meaning "you", right? ... and when you write "KNOW", you mean "believe." I get it. So
you mistakenly
believe, because you are gullible and your slave-masters commanded you to believe it, preach it, live it and die defending it, that CO2 molecules somehow come with little HTML tags detailing source of origin. You are so very keen! Too funny.
Would you believe me if I were to tell you that you have been lied to once again? All CO2 molecules are identical, but you failed to call boooooolsch't. Imagine that. Plants do not distinguish between CO2 molecules either.
we see that since the mid19th century the isotopic composition of atmospheric CO2 has consistently become "lighter" isotopically
Nope. Who is "we"? Sorry, we've already covered this. You have been deluded into believing you somehow see isotopic measurements to within zero margin of error covering the entire atmosphere dating back to the mid19th century. Hmmmmm.
Post these data sets here in this thread. Not links. The data sets.
and the amount of 14-C has steadily decreased since fossil fuels produce far less 14-C when combusted
What's a fossil fuel? What fossils are you claiming are sold commercially as fuel? ... or do you mean fuels used by fossils? I'm not aware of any fossils that use fuel but I'm happy to learn. Teach me.
7. Finally
we have temperature recordings going back a very long time now (including proxies)
1. Nope. Nobody has ever measured the earth's average temperature to any usable accuracy.
2. You are scientifically illiterate so you get a pass. Proxies are absolutely prohibited in science. Only direct measurements by calibrated instruments are permitted in valid data sets.
3. Who is "we"? Oh, you mean "you" again, yes?
This has been amazingly fun. Please tell me there will be subsequent rounds. I still need to rake you over the coals using Stefan-Boltzmann and hopefully we'll get into Planck's law. Yes, baby, bring it on!
