Man, talk about an infatuation with me......You'd better watch
it, Dan
will get jealous.
The
atmosphere seems almost infinitely thick to us, but on a globe
two feet in
dia. it would be as thick as a coat of varnish.
Dixon

What's the weather like on your two foot in diameter world?
What a stupid question.
Only if you're not thinking creatively.

Oh, um, nevermind. It's over your head.
No. It was just an idiotic question. Want to know why? Simple,
because
you took a statement that was informative too literally. It's called
perspective, something I take you don't have.
What exactly did I take literally, and how so? Be specific, and
explain what exactly you think my statement meant, at least to you.
Oh, hell. Are you so out of it that you don't even remember the
sentence you were making your idiotic remark about??? Well, here it is
again:

"The atmosphere seems almost infinitely thick to us, but on a globe two
feet in dia. it would be as thick as a coat of varnish."

With me so far? Come on, it's not really difficult, even for you, is
it?? Okay, here was your idiotic reply, too, just in case you've lost
THAT in your little mind:

What's the weather like on your two foot in diameter world?

Now, how could anybody think that that was an intelligent question?
Hmm, something tells me that YOU think it is!

So you weren't able to answer the questions I posed, huh? That's OK,
I didn't think you would, or could. Let me explain, try to follow
along, put your finger on the screen and move your lips as you read,
if it helps.

The two foot globe statement wasn't informative, other than being a
somewhat interesting excercise in scaling. Its intention in Gore's
"movie" is to grab your attention and scare you, as in "Oh my! The
earth's atmosphere is only as think as a layer of varnish! We better
do something!"

My weather statement was made to point out that the two foot globe,
while interesting, has no relevance to the earth we inhabit and its
own atmosphere. You see, with our full sized molecules, and the laws
of nature that they must abide by, "weather" wouldn't even be possible
in an atmosphere as thick as "a coat of varnish".

In reality, our earth is about 7926 MILES in diameter, which is
something over 41 MILLION feet, not 2 feet. Its atmosphere has 5
layers, and the one we live in, the troposphere, is about 10 MILES
thick. The 5th layer extends out to about 6000 MILES. A little
thicker and more substantial than a coat of varnish, huh?

In short, the two foot globe statement was a cheap and irrelevant
scare tactic designed to grab the more simple of those among us. My
weather statement exposed it for what it was.

But hey, the scare tactic worked on you, didn't it.

Merry Christmas.

Jack,
You will never convince Bassy of anything, he is cluttering up this NG
with crap, trolling for fights. It is time to ignore his posts and hope
he disappears. The NG has gotten much better, but Bass is doing his
best to screw it up.


True... you're right. I'm not going to get in a prolonged argument
over this. I just felt I should explain myself, since he was so
infatuated with my original post (that was a followup to someone else,
not him) that he felt he had to start this up.

Besides, it's 73 degrees here today, and we're getting ready to drive
the Torino down to the marina and go out on the boat for a while.

Have a good one!


But..but..but Goff that outer layer pretty much only reacts to the sun and
we are ignoring the effects the SUN has on our atmosphere. Right...we even
lump Ozone depletion into man caused pollution. We are not supposed to
consider SUN output and it's interaction with that layer of the atmosphere
where man made pollutants can't get, at least in amounts that make a
difference. See..we aren't supposed to know that Freon is MUCH heavier than
any other atmospheric gas and for it to be found that high up would be
incredibly unlikely. We aren't supposed to be able to think for ourselves,
know any high school science, have a sense of history.

You have made yourself incredibly unpopular by turning over the rock and
exposing the worms for what and where they are.

Maybe AGore is really basskisser?


I wonder how Mt. Kilaminjaro and other places in the world that are

Maybe it is all the hot air the politicos are expelling that is causing the
global warming. AGore puts 100% of the blame on man. Sure man has to add
to the warming. But what percentage? How much is solar? We have been
through heating and cooling periods for millenia! Maybe after the Shia and
Sunni factions kill most of each other off, we will have global cooling as
s50% of mankind will be gone.

Dead wrong again. Where to HELL did you get the idea that Gore puts
100% of the blame on man??? I take it you've not read any of his
lectures, nor seen his movie.
You are NEVER right!

Now there's a prime example of your recent behaviour.
Not only do you hint that Basskisser will 'never get it' but you also
call him 'the boy'.
I realize you're just trying to ingrate yourself with your new friends
but don't insult the newsgroups intelligence by pretending you're trying
to improve it.
