Water Vapor is the major component (95%). 2- All atmospheric CO2 from all sources is less than (three hundredths) .03 of the total of all greenhouse gases. 3- All man made atmospheric CO2 is less than (nine ten thousandths) .0009 of all greenhouse gases. 4- All US produced atmospheric CO2 is less than (three hundred twenty four millionths) .000324 of all greenhouse gases. 5- The Kyoto Protocol requires the US to reduce our atmospheric CO2 production by (four hundred eighty six ten millionths) .0000486 of all greenhouse gases. 6- This US CO2 reduction is equivalent to reducing a full to the brim standard US bathtub by 3/4 of a teaspoon. A ratio of 1 to 20,576. A- It is mathematically unlikely that atmospheric CO2 is the cause of global warming. B- It is mathematically improbable that MAN MADE atmospheric CO2 causes global warming. C- It is mathematically impossible that US PRODUCED atmospheric CO2 is a cause of global warming. D- It is mathematically 20,576 times MORE IMPOSSIBLE that reducing US produced atmospheric CO2 will have ANY IMPACT at all on global warming. Do you want to raise all US prices by 32%, raise unemployment by 300%, and give up US sovereignty to the United Nations in order to remove 3/4 teaspoon of water from a full bathtub? Cutting US CO2 production to the levels required by the Kyoto Protocols results in NO STATISTICAL IMPACT on total atmospheric CO2 and NO PRACTICAL IMPACT on global warming. CONCLUSION There can be only 3 logical reasons why some people are man-made global warming proponents. They are either: 1- Ignorant: They don't know the truth. 2- Delusional: They know the truth but refuse to believe it. 3- Liars: They know the truth and believe it, but they promote the lie for personal benefit. The world is warming but not because of man's activity. Yeah, sure, a very few scientists, and only one's with an agenda, come up with that drivel, while thousands upon thousands (and yes, some of them have an agenda too) have good hard data to show otherwise. People like you and Shortwave prefer to stick your heads in the sand and ignore that data, and will only look at data that you THINK helps make your point. Take a stab at telling us why Mars is heating up at the same rate as Earth. It's not heating at the same rate as Earth. Tell us how the Martians have increased the level of greenhouse gases in the Martian atmosphere. Apples and oranges. It's absurdly stupid to try and compare Mar's environment to Earths. You can't look at the Earth without looking at the surrounding planets.- Horse****, and ignorance. Here's a start: http://www.realclimate.org/index.php?p=192 Recently, there have been some suggestions that "global warming" has been observed on Mars (e.g. here). These are based on observations of regional change around the South Polar Cap, but seem to have been extended into a "global" change, and used by some to infer an external common mechanism for global warming on Earth and Mars (e.g. here and here). But this is incorrect reasoning and based on faulty understanding of the data. A couple of basic issues first : the Martian year is about 2 Earth years (687 days). Currently it is late winter in Mars's northern hemisphere, so late summer in the southern hemisphere. Martian eccentricity is about 0.1 - over 5 times larger than Earth's, so the insolation (INcoming SOLar radiATION) variation over the orbit is substantial, and contributes significantly more to seasonality than on the Earth, although Mars's obliquity (the angle of its spin axis to the orbital plane) still dominates the seasons. The alignment of obliquity and eccentricity due to precession is a much stronger effect than for the Earth, leading to "great" summers and winters on time scales of tens of thousands of years (the precessional period is 170,000 years). Since Mars has no oceans and a thin atmosphere, the thermal inertia is low, and Martian climate is easily perturbed by external influences, including solar variations. However, solar irradiance is now well measured by satellite and has been declining slightly over the last few years as it moves towards a solar minimum. |
