I think you should stay out of any discussion with "physics" in the
subject
line. Your premise is wrong.

If you do wish some enlightenment, I'd suggest starting with a search on
the
term "partial pressure."

Now, now, don't be askin' a bunch o' em bare assin' questions! There's
way too many global warmin' scientists and institutions sucking at the
taxpayers' tits makin' themselves powerful rich creating panic.

Remember in the 70's when it was COOLING because of CO/CO2 emissions
(since 1940) and the panic they created to get money thrown at a non-
existent problem was "The Coming Ice Age".....until 1975 when the sun
started to warm the planet up again?

It's all a big lie...

Obviously, you have never heard of airplanes that fly above 25K Feet.....
and significant Updraftings like Torandos, Cyclones, ect.....

And what makes you think this is true? The concentration of oxygen
remain essentially unchanged with altitude, at about 21%.

Tell that to a Mt. Everest summiteer who'd pass out without his bottled
O2..

Ah, another candidate to sit in the corner with the pointed hat on his
head.

Now, get out your science book and look up "partial pressure."

OK, OK. You're right for once. I looked it up and the relative
percentages of the atmospheric gasses remain the same with altitude
until you get very very high up like in the ionosphere.

But, for example, the atmosphere atop Mt. Everest is about 1/3 the
pressure as at sea level. And, even though the oxygen content remains
about 23%, the available oxygen molecules to breathe are only about
1/3rd as many. So, my Mt. Everest example still holds true because 1/3rd
of 23% of oxygen (the standard amount at sea level) is still only 1/3rd
enough.

The first teams to get to the Everest summit didn't have the benefit of
bottled Oxygen.


and neither did Larry Nielson, the first american to accomplish
that feat...

Big problem for mountaineers is when they break through the top O2 layer
finding nothing but helium up there.

Before this gets into a brawl regarding the definitions of PPO2 and
PPCO2 I'd like to step back a bit and add........ this should not be a
discussion about "...global warming...." That was a term used initally
by the press when some scientest discovered a climatic anomoly that
just happendend to be an increase in temprature. The idea is simply
not the whole place getting hot. Thats just part of the picture as we
know it now............. its more accuarte to say "global climate
change" or "climate change" cause its getting dryer, hotter, colder,
wetter, longer, shorter in all sorts of places. But some think even
after the death groans the earth will eventially just be cooked.

Why is everyone calling it Global Warming? The press called it that
when the reporter couldnt understand the scientific's explination an
dfigured nowbody else could either. Thats pretty typicall. And thats
why ya see seminars titled: How to give technical informatin to non-
technical audiences. Then the Republicans grabed it and started
beatting that drum and would not change for fear of confusing the
squak boxes at Fox Network. Cause now there is all sorts of newer info
that says we just aint cooking uniformilly. SOme places are getting
colder. Ahh, now we can use that as support to counter the Global
Warming claim. See, if the the world is suppose to be geting warmer
and I find an exception, every normal scientest and country in the
world is wrong! See, I can use an exception to build an argument. So
we should never change the term to Global Climate Change. That would
neuter the Republican's rant.

If white is black, what color is newsprint?
That was a similar question.

Atmospheric gases stay remarkably well mixed.
But the higher you go, the lower the pressure
(of all components - including oxygen)

Brian Whatcott Altus OK
