Apercu #09: Common Sense “climate change,” / ”Global Warming”
• To expand liberty and so stimulate the economy, the American Clean Energy and Security Act, {House of Representatives 2454 } H.R. 2454, 111th Congress AD 2009-2010, must be revisited;
• Thereby so to known what it authorizes, requires, amends, taxes, and defines, so: to be found completely not in Pursuance of the Constitution, and so of which must be struck down & made null and void: forever.
• Thereby, to invalidate the so “punishing compulsory deferral” of energy exploration, extraction, transportation, and usage, of those vital natural resources: oil, gas, & coal.
• Who is this born AD 1939 California Congressperson ( elected consecutive terms since AD 1975); Henry Waxman, who authors such an Act, under the banner of Environmental Protection {EP}, so attacking american commerce?
• Al Gore, founder of the “Climate Reality Project“ and Author: “An Inconvenient Truth,” [GW] spokesman & lecturer
Gore has said: ‘We need to put a price on carbon to accelerate these market trends; We need to punish climate deniers in politics”.
• Thereby, H.R. 2454, has been so masqueraded as {EP}, but so, the efficacy being Gore’s, ‘global warming’ [GW] political solution,
• Thereby so contrarily, the sheer lunacy of H.R. 2454’s economic mayhem must be thwarted,
• Thereby, H.R. 2454’s extra taxing and ‘costing’of energy makers & users for being so, must be voided as a governance policy.
• Thereby, send Representative Henry Waxman home: so retired, term limited, or impeached.
• Gore has said: “The warnings about ‘global warming’ have been extremely clear for a long time. We are facing a global “climate crisis“.
• Thereby, to squelch any notion that life is imperiled by CO2 gas: there is no intense difficulty, trouble, or danger from it.
• Thereby, consider this: the achievements and successes of the American economic revolution are being put at stake, by representatives alike Henry Waxman.
• Thereby, consider this: Air conditioning, vacations, travel, and jobs, all require bought electrical energy;
• So thereof, there must be no human submitted and no property destroyed by law so attributed to governmental ‘global warming’ [GW].
• So thereof, consider humans as more than the custodian of the environment, but so its mainstay, submitting to nothing of it, by political hands.
• So thereof, consider that biodiversity supervision of an ecosystem is outside of governance domain.
• SO, consider this: governance has interceded with benevolent actions to pay the bills for rebuilding houses and other structures damaged by natural disasters: {that’s what governance does in crisis.}
• SO rebuilt: under sea-level, on slippery hills, on coastal shores, in smoggy areas, in flood plains, in valleys, hurricane zones, fire zones: once again, after confronting calamities,” so alluded to as [GW] consequences. {no rationality test needed, just how much}
• These cyclical property solutions portend badly for [GW] laws.
• Gore has said: “[GW] has increased the number of hurricanes;” “We are facing a global climate crisis”.
• However, in fact, the total accumulated energy of tropical cyclones, has fallen 50%, to a post AD 1977 low.
• Thereby, on August 29, AD 2005, Hurricane Katrina’s Category 1 winds ripped throughout the city of New Orleans, causing 80% flooding, so 40% 0f the population permanently moved elsewhere.
• New Orleans, is particularly at storm risk because: of being 50% under sea level {thus so levees designed and built by the Army Corps of Engineers} ; of being surrounded by water from the north, east, and south; of being a big part of Louisiana’s sinking coast, because of extensive, rapid and ongoing erosion of the marshlands and surrounding swamps;
• So Thereby, {not due to [GW] }
• Consider this: the “French Quarter,” was hit, but survived readily.
• It is estimated that New Orleans needs to restore 1,700 square miles of wetland lost, so thereby, to help create a natural barrier to mitigate against the effects of future storms.
• SO consider, ‘global warming’ as a misnomer,
• since the globe has been cooling for millions of years; from its molten core to its relatively cool surface,
• So view volcanoes: say 550 active volcanoes, so referred to in recorded history, and about 1300 more volcanoes, found scientifically, so to have erupted in the past 10,000 years; & so then geysers, heated water coming from deep down under.
• So view the recent Icelandic Eruptions, the historical volcano eruptions, such as Tambora AD 1815,
• SO consider, ‘climate change’ as a misnomer,
• so consider: climate is in constant change: night v day, shaded v sunlit surfaces, as natural known warm & cold variances:
• so consider: an orbit at a constant vertical axial tilt {23.4 degree angle to its orbit,)
• so consider: the 4 seasons transitionally hemispherical opposites, concurrent winter-summer & spring-autumn.
• so consider: the 2 equinoxes (March 20, September 22), the sun crossing the celestial equator; so the tilt direction is perpendicular to the Sun direction: so night & day light are equal hours.
• Sun eccentricity; (orbit a little of to the side): sun shifts & sun spots; axis obliquity (tilt); & wobbling motions: procession;
• And of course, measuring and average these diverse temperature since AD 1880, is ludicrous: is plain junk science.
• and then consider: deserts, mountains, 2 frigid celestial poles, tropical zones: 23°26ʹ, both north and south of the equator.
• and then consider: fronts, jet streams, high & low pressure zones, clouds, precipitation, wind speed, air columns, humidity.
• and then consider: what is a trace gas total effect in this atmospheric vastness of a constant changing mix?
• so the Troposphere is heated from the earth’s surface emission of outgoing radiation,
• radiation, so re-emitted as lower bands than the sun, so be it not “saturated”.
• SO consider, “earth’s total astronomy“: and those variations in the sun’s energy reaching Earth; both absorption & Emission.
• Changes in the reflectivity of Earth’s atmosphere and surface,
• So, difference in the emission of amounts & wavelengths of solar radiation between the equator and poles”.
• Changes in the earth’s cyclic orbit from perihelion (closest) to aphelion (farthest), orbit around the sun, within the Copernican System:
• sun eccentricity (orbit a little of to the side); shifts & sun spots; axis obliquity (tilt); & wobbling motions: procession, ( 2/3 caused by changes in ocean bottom pressure & 1/3 changes in air pressure);
• so then consider: the orbital motion that upsets and ruffles the atmosphere.
• Such calamities are found to be on other planets— such as Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune,—not because CO2 gas is present in the atmosphere (there is none) but because these planets have atmosphere,
• the sensitive, unpredictable atmosphere is detached from solid Earth and thus will always lag behind the rotation of the Earth.
• SO then consider: the significance: all these “natural caused factors,” alongside CO2 gas changes, which have changed Earth’s climate, many times.
• So “this basic structure remains fairly constant”.
• Such as, on clear nights Earth’s surface cools down faster than on cloudy nights.
• Also. it becomes colder at night at higher elevations.
• So consider this, Meteorology concerns the climate and weather of a region, not the entire globe as a unit.
• SO consider: ‘earth surface warming’ as a label.
• sunlight energy heats the earth surface so absorbing ultraviolet solar radiation & so warming the surface through heat retention;
• The Earth’s core is but secondary: producing heat via radioactive decay.
• Gore has said: {CO2} is the cause of global warming.
• SO CO2 gas and the atmospheric gases are important; both keep heat from the earth’s surface, so absorbing most of the infrared radiation; and do decrease the amount of energy that escapes; and so slowing heats departure,
• so{CO2} gas and water H2O, so limits temperature extremes; {it is about 15 °C (27 °F), warmer than without these greenhouse gases.}
• {CO2} gas has a natural reaction point, where the absorption of long-wave infrared radiation no longer bears linearly proportionality:
• so that {CO2} gas produces a decreasing additional warming effect until reaching an equilibrium condition.
• SO, to be precise, all the gases in the atmosphere, and the varying dust, contribute to the “Green House” effect.
• SO, nevertheless, consider that {CO2] gas maintains the life cycle on earth.
• So consider that {CO2] gas is part of the carbon cycle: product of: respiration, decay, fermentation, combustion.
• So, used in welding. fire extinguishers, air guns, oil recovery, feedstock, coffee, beverages. & dry ice.
• Gore has said: the trend lines are clearly parallel., thus showing causation of {CO2}.
• Gore has proven it: via a graph of plotted temperature changes & volume of {CO2} changes,
• Gore states his message in the film: “An Inconvenient Truth”
• But correlation does not necessarily prove causation. {coincidence?}
• SO consider: Gore’s net worth also trends up, but doesn’t seem to cause anything else.
• SO consider: billions of temperature statistics, so back the claim: October, AD 2015, had been the hottest month in history, by .001%; so with a statistical error allowance of .01%?
• SO consider: AD 2015 likewise, had been the hottest year.
• So thereof, consider: it was scientifically inferred, to be historically much warmer in Roman empire days, and the middle ages;
• So thereof, consider: what could be unfriendly about more sun warmth, lush vegetation, & more airborne water, & more airborne plant fertilizer, {CO2} gas?
• SO, consider this: “500 billion tons of carbon emissions = but a potential “one degree” increase in temperature: over 3 decades.
• SO,there is more air, but the oxygen level stays constant?
• SO, the Troposphere is full; perhaps the Stratosphere gains the added air?
• SO climate is the typical weather conditions prevailing in an area over a long period: becoming the natural constant changes so happening,
• So weather is the atmospheric move of heat from one zone to another, to seek impossible equilibrium.
• So there’s a large-scale movement of air through the Troposphere, and the means (with ocean circulation) by which heat is distributed around Earth: referred to as ’turbulent diffusion’.
The Moon:
• the Solar System’s largest natural satellites and so largest relative to the size of the planet it orbits. It is the second-densest.
• atmosphere: non significant, so it cannot trap heat or insulate the surface,
• surface temperature: under the sun, 253 degrees F,
• surface temperature: dark side, minus 243 degrees F
• Daytime & Nighttime:13 and a half days each.
• Radius: 1,079 miles
• Circumference: 6,784 miles,
• Orbital distance: 238,855 miles,
• Orbital period: 27.32 days,
• Age: 4.53 billion years.
• Earth’s atmosphere:
(1) at sea level, there are about 100 billion billion molecules per cubic centimeter.
(2) and the weight equal the pressure of a 760 mm tall column of mercury.
THUS: 1 atm= 760 mmHg
(3) gases compress easily, expand to fill their containers, and occupy more space than their liquid or solid state,
(4) gases are grouped as to permanent gases & variable gases,
• permanent gases are 99%:
• Nitrogen, N2 78.1% by volume An 72
• Oxygen, O2 20.9% by volume An 82: 85% of oceans, 46% of earth’s solid crust, 60% of the human body.
• Argon Ar: 0.93% by volume An 18 {9,300 ppm} a noble gas,
{Planet Mercury has an atmosphere: 70% argon,}
• Neon Ne: 0.002% by volume An 10
• Helium He: 0.0005% by volume An 2
• Hydrogen H2: 0.00005% by volume An 12 mostly in molecular form,
stars are mainly hydrogen in a plasma state
• variable gases: are referred to as greenhouse gases for that reason,
• Water vapor H2O: is 5% by volume in hot, humid air masses,} 0% over deserts & freezing areas, 4% over oceans,
• Carbon Dioxide Co2: 0.035%
• Methane CH4: 0.0002%,
• an effect 25 times greater than Co2,
• source: 60% landfill waste, livestock, oil & gas processing,
• source: 40% : wetlands 80% are natural emissions; termites, second; wildfires; methane hydrates,
• Ozone O3: 0.000004% rare 3 for10ppm 90% is in the stratosphere, so forming the Ozone layer absorbing {UV-B}.
• So boundary air layers are usually well-mixed, save at night, when it becomes stably, stratified, with weak mixing.
concentrations vary with altitude
• Thereby, at 8,000 feet in the mountains, the concentrations are not the same as 8,000 feet over the oceans,
particularly the 4 variable gases,
• atmosphere mass is stratified into five main layers. higher to lowest:
• Exosphere: 440 to 6,200 miles rarefied air,
• Thermosphere: 50 to 440 miles low density, high energy, no feeling of warmth,
• Mesosphere: 31 to 50 miles,
• Stratosphere: 7 to 31 miles,
• Troposphere: 0 to 7 miles {sea level 14.7 PSI} {Denver CO 12.1 PSI}
• 50% is below 18,000 feet {Mt. Everest is at 29,029 feet} [4.3 PSI],
• 90% is below 52,000 feet. [1.6 PSI],
• 99.99997% is below 330,000 feet,
{62 mi; is the Kármán line, the beginning of space.
Desert:
• Thereby, consider: the atmosphere of the Mojave Desert & the Great Basin,” lacks water vapor,
• Thereby, there is no fog, rainfall, clouds, or humidity,
• Thus, the ground receives twice the radiation heat daily,
• Thus so, loses twice as much heat nightly.
• So, extreme air temperatures: that vary from 43 to 49.5 degrees Celsius, {107-121 F} daily to minus 18 degrees Celsius {-4 F}, nightly.
• SO the effect of CO2 gas change, not calculated; no [GW] here.
hydrologic cycle:
(1) evaporation: oceans evaporate about 3 trillion tons daily due to heat and pressure. it condensing to clouds at very high altitudes,
(2) Humidity: describes how much water vapor is in an air mass.
• Relative Humidity is the ratio of the current level to the 100% level.
• At 100% it is fog, rain, snow or other precipitation.
• At 6 % it is desert-like conditions,
• Temperature limits Humidity capacity,
• However, the airs’ increased temperatures warmed the oceans, which then released more {CO2} into the atmosphere.
(3) precipitation: clouds give up rain and storms: so replenishing bodies of freshwater 2.90% & groundwater 0.31%,
(4) gravity keeps water & air gases from leaving earth,
(5 the atmosphere keeps this water cycle functioning,
(6) water is about 70% of the earth’s surface,
(7) the underlying water problem is not just avoiding floods but solving drought,
(8) so consider this: CA could solve their water problem like Israel has, rather than steal it from other States & then ration it.
• SO the diurnal temperature variation: are measured by the concentration of water vapor (H2O) are strong absorbers and emitters of infrared radiation.
• Overall, the water cycle is essential to biological and chemical action;
Air Pressure:
• earth’s Coriolis force {rotation} causes air movement & creates the the jet stream, [WEST-EAST NH], opposite so in the SH}
• the jet stream, controls high & low pressure zones.
• a high pressure mass, strongest at poles, {cold air] moves into low pressure zones, weakest at the equator [hot air], gradient forces: large differences results in fast winds.
• friction between air & land surface, changes wind direction & so slows its movement.
• Southern hemisphere jets do not effect weather in the norther hemisphere.
• pressurizing air (or any gas) gets it hotter, lowering that pressure, gets it colder.
• air pressure range: 980 millibars (mb) to 1050 mb. the force exerted by air mass [molecules + or -} on the surface.
• air pressure lines: {isobars on a weather map} disclose wind speeds: {the closer the isobar lines, the higher the wind speed}.
• So, a rising barometer means fair weather ahead.
• Low pressure areas: so noted for high winds, warm air, and atmospheric lifting.
• thereby, bring clouds, precipitation, and tropical storms, and cyclones.
• green house gases reflect incoming solar radiation back into the atmosphere so they cannot warm as much during the day (or in the summer)
• Gore has said: “We are filling up the atmosphere with pollutants”.
• High pressure areas :noted for cool air, denser air, and air moving toward the ground. {Subsidence}.
• thereby, so evaporating water vapor so clears skies and calms weather.
• the absence of clouds: so extremes in diurnal and seasonal temperatures; higher high temperatures and lower lows.
• no clouds to block incoming solar radiation or trap outgoing longwave radiation at night.
• in the Summer:southerly high pressure zones, usually bring warm and clear weather.
• in the Winter: northerly high pressure zones, usually bring cold & fair weather.
• decreasing wind speeds, allows for reduced air quality, smog,ground level ozone.
low and high pressure consistency areas
(1) The Equatorial Low Pressure Trough: { (0°-10° North and South of the equator
• is composed of warm, light, ascending and converging air,
• wet and full of excess energy, expanding & cooling as it rises, so creating clouds,
• and heavy rainfall, so forming the trade winds.
(2) The intertropical Convergence Zone { ITCZ } {about 5° north & south of the equator,}
• aka: “doldrums:” weak winds and still dry rising air and high pressure,
• varies as much as 40° to 45° of latitude based on the pattern of land and ocean.
• the northeast & southeast trade winds converge in a low pressure zone.
• producing convectional storms that produce some of the world’s heaviest precipitation regions
(3) subtropical high
• the Sahara and the Great Australian Desert, lie under the high pressure of the subtropical high latitudes.
• trade winds blow from the subtropical highs toward the ITCZ. {westerlies}
• Northeast trade winds & the Southeast Trade Winds {30° latitude} are steady and blow about 11 to 13 miles per hour.
(4) Sub-polar Low-Pressure Cells: This area is at 60° N/S latitude and features cool, wet weather. The Sub-polar low is caused by the meeting of cold air masses from higher latitudes and warmer air masses from lower latitudes. In the northern hemisphere, their meeting forms the polar front which produces the low pressure cyclonic storms responsible for precipitation in the Pacific Northwest and Europe. In the southern hemisphere, severe storms develop along these fronts and cause high winds and snowfall in Antarctica.
(5) Polar High-Pressure Cells: These are located at 90° N/S and are extremely cold and dry. With these systems, winds move away from the poles in an anticyclone which descends and diverges to form the polar easterlies. They are weak however because there is little energy available in the poles to make the systems strong.
(6) The Antarctic high is stronger because it is able to form over the cold landmass instead of the warmer sea.
Northern Hemisphere Seasons:
Summer: point in the orbit farthest from the sun {aphelion) Earth orbit has the maximum axial tilt toward the sun, the Sun rises higher, in the sky, stays above the horizon longer, and the rays of the Sun strike the ground more directly.
Winter: closer to the Sun, (perihelion)
oriented away from the Sun,
the Sun only rises low in the sky,
is above the horizon for a shorter period,
and the rays of the Sun strike the ground more obliquely.
Southern Hemisphere Seasons
It is clear that the seasons in the Southern Hemisphere are determined by the same reasoning, except that they are out of phase with the N. Hemisphere seasons because when the N. Hemisphere is oriented toward the Sun the S. Hemisphere is oriented away, and vice versa:
The Lag of the Seasons
The hottest temperatures in the Summer usually occur a month or so after the time when maximum solar energy is deposited during a day at a point on the surface of the Earth This is because of heat storage heat; oceans particularly.
Thus, a detailed description of the seasons and temperature, is quite complicated so taking in complex local variations in the storage of solar energy.
Galileo Galilei AD 1564-1642 Italian Scientist, philosopher
“By denying scientific principles,
“One may maintain any paradox.”
• Science became aware of earths history by studying ice cores, deep sea sediments, fossils, glaciers & landforms.
• 2 mile deep ice cores providing annual and seasonal climate records for up to hundreds of thousands of years & millions of years of climate records in ocean sediment cores.
• Also Aged air bubbles have been captured from within Glaciers for scientifically analyze of past temperatures.
• The earth”s glaciation {cooling} & interglacial {heating} has been in five major cycles: Pleistocene Epochs { ice ages}.
• Now earth’s within Epoch number 5, which had begun some three millions years past.
• glaciation has been computed to have peaked about 20,000 years past, currently, it’s an interglacial cycle that began about 11.000 years past.
• “Glaciers, aka the ‘Earth’s icebox,’ had melted and reformulated by the variance of snow fall”. Land surface Ice coverage has been receding from a high of 32% to near 10%.
Thomas Sowell, Senior Fellow Hoover Institution, Economist, Author
“Would you bet your paycheck on a weather forecast for tomorrow? If not then why should this country bet billions on global warming predictions that have even less foundation?”
Ludwig von Mises AD 1881-1972, Economist
“Scientific criticism has no nobler task than to shatter false beliefs”.
Dr. Isaac Asimov AD 1920-1992 prolific author:
Asimov said: “The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge
faster than society gathers wisdom”.
Protagoras 485-421 BC
“There are two sides to every question”
• So, “We the People” of America must boldly go where Americans have purposely gone before, to return to the ‘land of liberty’ so begun in AD 1789,
• So, “We the People” of America must rid America of a century of tyranny and constitutional abuses, and so progressive days of rule must be totally numbered.
