I can see this is going to become another oil and trailer thread. lol No, it's not. You are stupid. The thing is this, you'll make your own definition of what a "very small percentage" is, and that will be your whole basis of argument. The simple fact is, and will always be, that the sun's heat is a MINOR contributer to the earth's wind. MINOR, twit, understand? How about if we define "very small percentage" and MINOR as less than half? Now, where's your proof that the sun's heat is a minor contributor of a very small percentage of the surface wind that a sailboat would use? Where's your proof that even all the wind on the planet, surface or otherwise, is not the result of the sun's heat? I've given you plenty of proof that it is. You have given none that it's not. Sure thing, here you go. Time to put your spin on it, to TRY to make it look like you know anything at all. My "proof" is just as valid as yours. Why don't you tell us what YOU meant my "a very small percentage" and then show some proof that whatever you defined as "a very small percentage" of wind is the result of the sun's heat. Well, give some proof, any proof of what you said. Steve I pasted a bunch of websites refuting you, but alas, they didn't get transfered for some reason, but here is a quick paste of text taken from one of them: As the Earth rotates on its axis, gravity forces this relatively "heavy" air near the Earth's surface to spin round with it. However, the air higher up is less affected. The difference between the speed at which air moves close to the surface and the speed of air higher up forms vortexes or whirlpools. This mixing causes variations in air speed, and, consequently, "wind" is generated at the earth's surface That is *not* proof that a very small percentage of wind is generated by the sun's heat. As I suspected, you have none. Because you're wrong. Steve |
