As usual, you clowns resort to attacks.
The bottom line is that he is a scientist that has mentored a lot of
scientists. That's your problem if you don't want to believe what he
has said. I for one believe him.


Just because he taught other scientists doesn't mean that his theories
are now all correct. It could be that his students built on his work,
modified his theories to fit new data, and came up with new theories.
Besides, "He mentored a lot of other scientists" is just an appeal to
authority. It des not address the truth of what he's saying.


And neither does it mean that the rest of the scientists that agree
with
GW are correct.


That's not the argument I'm making. You should investigate what they're
actually saying instead of making up stupid shit like this:




Don't forget that CO2 is heavier than air. So how does
it get up high to cause a warming blanket around the planet?


The atmosphere is composed of N2, O2, and some other things. Since O2 is
heavier, how come the O2 doesn't sink to the bottom, leaving a layer of
N2 above that? Wine is made of H2O, CH3OH, and other stuff. CH3OH is
heavier than H2O. How come the mixture doesn't stratify? It turns out
that minor differences in the molecular masses of things don't matter
much. Clouds are made of water droplets which are much denser than air,
yet the droplets float.

The droplets are in a vapour and dispersed so that they can 'float'.


They are *not* in a vapour. If they were, they would be invisible.

As one who regularly finds himself inside clouds (while skiing at on Mt.
Cypress in Vancouver) I can tell you that clouds consist of droplets and
often frozen water, not vapour.


But notice that this water in whatever state does fall to the ground.
Another thing is that CO2 gets absorbed into water as well, cleansing
the air. I used to go skiing and loved the smell of nice fresh air as
compared to the air down near Seattle.


Notice that large amounts of it stay in the air even when in the form of
droplets or ice.


Only held up by thermal currents. That's how rain, snow and hail form
in the first place. Hail is an excellent example of thermal air
currents. The larger the hail stone, the more strength is in the air
currents.

This is an excellent example of how you gloss over detailed explanations
to come top our conclusions.

Note too, that your argument makes no sense at all, as it really boils
down to you saying that CO2 only stays in the air up to some magical
concentration...


Something that you obviously do not know much about.
Take a course on meteorology and you'll know.
The ocean is a huge sink for CO2 and it is obvious how it got there.

Yeah, all that carbonated water raining out of the clouds.

Heat also caused the vapours to rise. But then, after a while, it rains.
Not so with O2. Still the fact remains that CO2 is quite a bit heavier
than air in its natural form. That's why in the industrial arena,
workers that have to enter confined areas have to have an industrial
hygenist to double check the air quality before entering. We've had
that trouble on board ships in dry dock where the breathable air was
just used up by workers and people had to be hauled out, while the same
air above in the same containment was breathable.



Next, you have to consider how different chemical substances transmit
life of different wavelengths. CO2 doesn't transmit infrared. So the
Earth can absorb light and get warm but cannot reradiate the heat away
as well. Of course, the whole thing is a lot more complicated than that.
You keep talking about how smart that particular scientist is. Do you
think that maybe there's a reason that it takes smart people to think
about what's going on? You should have realized before you typed it that
your stratification model was so bad it was not even wrong.


And your credentials are?? That is important to be making claims.
I still hold that this GW thing is about money and nothing else. A hoax.


Given that you just declared that clouds are made from water vapour,
your credentials have pretty much been exposed as worthless.

Guffaw!!! Were you dropped on your head, boy? What do you think clouds
are made of?


Not water vapour, you twit.


No, it started off as water vapour. The droplets formed afterwards.

Yes, once the water cooled and glommed onto dust. But the water in
clouds is in the form of liquid water droplets.

I hope you didn't get your panties in bunch over the Sun thing.
All I did was show only the truth about what Sun was selling.

I guess you want to change the subject now that you've realized you're
talking with people who know more about it than you do.
