GLOBAL WARMING -- Everywhere is warming twice as fast as everywhere else!!!!!!

[Saint Guinefort]

There’s an infinite number of locations. The number of thermometers available is finite.
IntoTheNight is correct. It’s not possible to measure the temperature of the earth.
I’m mildly curious though . What do you think is the temperature of the earth? They use a thermometer to measure those locations.

By your reasoning doctors can't measure the temperature of a human either. They only measure it in one spot and then go from there.

But to the larger point: this is something in science called SAMPLING. It is how 99.99999999999999999...9% of all the science you know has been created. It required sampling at some point to make the measurement. It is unlikely that every single item in a given population is measured. This is how science works.

With respect to matter (heh), it is a closed system. With respect to energy, it isn't. That distinction is important to the topic of Global Warming (you know... the topic of this thread?)

With respect to thermodynamics it’s a closed system.

 

[Saint Guinefort]

With respect to thermodynamics it’s a closed system.

Nope. Nope Nope Nope Nope. Try sitting in an actual P Chem or Thermo class and roll that line out. See how it lands.

The topic is still Global Warming. Does or does not the heat come from the Sun?

Yes or no?

 

[anonymoose]

No it's not. That's absurd in the extreme. Is the sky light outside right now where you are? Or has it been in the last several hours? Yeah, that's called the SUN and it exists OUTSIDE OF THE EARTH. Ergo it isn't a closed system.

You obviously have no idea about what thermodynamic open, closed and isolated systems are. If you can’tlearn, I can’t help you.
But it’s really not that difficult.

I hade 2 semesters of P Chem.

Unlike you I've actually had a PChem class. (Oh yeah, and I don't expect you to know what PChem is)

Body temperature is relatively uniform.

I had 2 semesters of PChem. Two.

Why did you only have one? Washed out of it? Didn’t earn a “C” or better to move on to the next one?

 

[AProudLefty]

Yes.

Tell that to the Parrot Boy since he thinks it's impossible to trap heat (the Greenhouse Effect).

I had many terms of Pussy Chem. Many.

If you think the earth is a thermodynamically closed system you didn't even get a "C" in P Chem. Even if you go with the more "broad" "closed to matter" aspect you are wrong. We have meteorites hit all the time.

Ergo you are wrong.

 

[Saint Guinefort]

Body temperature is relatively uniform.

How do you know this? Have you measured literally every single surface of the entire human body? You DO realize that is an infinite number of sites, right?

 

[anonymoose]

We have meteorites hit all the time.

A meteorite doesn’t hit anything. Meteorites are already embedded in the earth.

Nope. Nope Nope Nope Nope. Try sitting in an actual P Chem or Thermo class and roll that line out.

Give it up. Your pretense of projecting your areas of ignorance onto others isn't going to fool anyone. You blew your chance in the other thread to show that you happen to know something.

 

[IBDaMann]

Asking questions won't help until you learn what Global Warming actually means.

 

[AProudLefty]

Global Warming has been defined.

 

[IBDaMann]

Tell that to the Parrot Boy since he thinks it's impossible to trap heat (the Greenhouse Effect).

Listen to this! Deaf-boy thinks that being heated by something (something that happens all the time) is the same thing as "trapping heat" (which can't be done). And the kicker is ... wait for it ... he claims to have minored in physics!

You can't make this shit up! Too funny!

 

[IBDaMann]

Global Warming has been defined.

No human has ever unambiguously defined Global Warming in such a way that it doesn't violate physics. So you go with the physics-violating definition you say?
