Science from the other side of Climate Change

How does that compare to you posting erroneous crap that you manufacturer in your mind that has no connection with reality?

Theories of science is not 'erroneous crap'. You just want to discard them.

Earth can regulate its own temperature over millennia, new study finds

Scientists have confirmed that a “stabilizing feedback” on 100,000-year timescales keeps global temperatures in check.

The Earth’s climate has undergone some big changes, from global volcanism to planet-cooling ice ages and dramatic shifts in solar radiation. And yet life, for the last 3.7 billion years, has kept on beating.

Now, a study by MIT researchers in Science Advances confirms that the planet harbors a “stabilizing feedback” mechanism that acts over hundreds of thousands of years to pull the climate back from the brink, keeping global temperatures within a steady, habitable range.

Just how does it accomplish this? A likely mechanism is “silicate weathering” — a geological process by which the slow and steady weathering of silicate rocks involves chemical reactions that ultimately draw carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and into ocean sediments, trapping the gas in rocks.

Scientists have long suspected that silicate weathering plays a major role in regulating the Earth’s carbon cycle. The mechanism of silicate weathering could provide a geologically constant force in keeping carbon dioxide — and global temperatures — in check. But there’s never been direct evidence for the continual operation of such a feedback, until now.

your green renewable fascist projects are coming to an end, moneygrabber.

Of late, the head ditz of the Democrat party, AOC, said in 2009 the world will end in 12 years if we don't fully address "climate change" (aka Gorebal Warming). Well, it's been 6 years since she said that...

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says Millennials like her believe 'the world is gonna end in 12 YEARS' if climate change is ignored. She made this comment during an interview with Ta-Nehisi Coates at the Riverside Church in Manhattan, New York City.

all the green imbeciles are imbecilic.

Lol.... As I've said repeatedly, nothing in the theory of climate change requires more energy. As I have said repeatedly, IF you had any intellectual curiosity, you'd know that.

Lol.... As I've said repeatedly, you cannot create additional energy out of nothing (see the 1st Law of Thermodynamics). As I have said repeatedly, IF you had any intellectual curiosity, you'd know that.

Then let me know when you come up with an explanation as to where the ADDITIONAL thermal energy is coming from.........

So far, you haven't provided any source of additional thermal energy.

Do you believe that all of the energy that enters the Earth's atmosphere and/or radiates from the Earth's surface in infrared form, stays with the Earth's atmosphere?

I'm not sure what you're asking, nor how it has anything to do with explaining to me where the ADDITIONAL thermal energy (that is REQUIRED to increase Earth's temperature) is coming from.

How can Earth be in equilibrium yet simultaneously be increasing in temperature?

He doesn't even know what a 'system' is or how it's defined. He doesn't understand that a system is literally what you choose it to be, and it is always a closed system because you chose it and it's boundaries.

Exactly. The equilibrium itself, which is the result of balanced input and output, nonetheless is a closed system, thanks to there being no other inputs/outputs.

What troubles me is that T. A. Gardner simply posted something that he assumed was true because he found it on the internet. He actually thought that he was "throwing it in my face." How can I break it to him gently that what he did was very stupid?

It exists, but it's not a magick one-way blanket that "traps heat".

Because it is a gas, it has properties of a gas. That makes it largely transparent to light (photons) which react weakly with it, while it can absorb thermal conducted energy much better. So, because of those properties, sunlight passes through the atmosphere lighting the planet and only slightly warming the atmosphere, while that same sunlight when it strikes the planet is absorbed energy that warms the surface (on average about 250 watts / m^2 per day). That in turn, per the Second law of thermodynamics (Not the 1st as some imbeciles here claim) is conducted back into the atmosphere in whole or part warming it. That is, this system works like a Carnot Heat Engine.

Now, if you change the albedo of the Earth, or the atmosphere with cloud cover, (Stefan-Boltzmann white-black body theory) and / or composition of it or the atmosphere, you change the rate of energy exchange between the solid surface of the planet and the atmosphere (gases). There is the addition of human generated energy being dumped into the system, but this currently is a tiny fraction of the whole (~20 - 21 TW currently).

So, yes the climate can change. Yes, humans can have an impact on that. The question is, cause and effect and the Gorebal Warming crowd, fixated on CO2 are myopic idiots because the system is far more complex than they've reduced it to. Only a simpleton would attribute something as complex as a planetary environment to a single cause, but they do.
