Why it's not carbon dioxide after all Doug Cotton
May 24, 2014
There is no valid physics which links carbon dioxide with the (natural) warming of Earth, Venus or any planet. Solar radiation mostly passes straight through the thin transparent surface layer of the oceans, whilst "back radiation" does not penetrate at all. Yet it is assumed that the total flux of both can be stuck into Stefan-Boltzmann calculations in order to "explain" the observed mean surface temperature. So carbon dioxide and the far more prolific "pollutant" (namely the "greenhouse gas" water vapour) are supposedly raising the surface temperature "33 degrees" - on average that is. Where there is 4% of water vapour expect it to be far hotter than where there's 1%. What really is raising Earth's surface by that "33 degrees" and the Venus surface by a few hundred degrees, and the base of the nominal Uranus troposphere to a temperature that's hotter than Earth's surface (even though it's nearly 30 times further from the Sun) is a process described in my Amazon book "Why It's Not Carbon Dioxide After All" whilst the radiative forcing concept was dismantled in my peer-reviewed paper "Radiated Energy and the Second Law of Thermodynamics" published March 2012 and easily found on the web. So stop worrying about carbon dioxide which helps plant growth and makes up just one molecule in 2,500 in our atmosphere. Valid physics explains all and exposes corruption.
