Facts? We Don’t Need Facts – We Have Consensus

So say the Greenbats of the world. But, what if the consensus scientists’ theories defy actual physics? What if the CO2 gas in the atmosphere can’t behave in the manner prescribed by the consensus?

Here’s an email I got the other day from my colleague, Rick (highlights are mine):

Bob,

I don’t know if you saw this but it is jaw dropping.

I quote:

It is an interesting point that the heat conductivity of CO2 is only one half of that of nitrogen or oxygen. In a 100 percent CO2 atmosphere a conventional light bulb shines brighter than in a nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere due to the lowered heat conductivity of its environment. But this has nothing to do with the supposed CO2 greenhouse effect which refers to trace gas concentrations. Global climatologists claim that the Earth’s natural greenhouse effect keeps the Earth 33 C warmer than it would be without the trace gases in the atmosphere. 80 percent of this warming is attributed to water vapor and 20 percent to the 0.03 volume percent CO2. If such an extreme effect existed, it would show up even in a laboratory experiment involving concentrated CO2 as a heat conductivity anomaly. It would be manifest itself as a new kind of `super insulation’ violating the conventional heat conduction equation. However, for CO2 such anomalous heat transport properties never have been observed.

CO2 is a naturally occurring greenhouse gas. Humans and other animals emit CO2 into the atmosphere when they exhale, and plants absorb it. CO2 and other trace gases are only 5 percent of the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Water vapor makes up the other 95 percent.

Humans contribute about 3.4 percent of annual CO2 emissions. But, small increases in annual CO2 emissions, whether from humans or any other source, can lead to a large CO2 accumulation over time because CO2 molecules can remain in the atmosphere for more than a century.

Humanity is responsible for about one-quarter of one percent of the greenhouse effect.

It is indeed jaw-dropping when you consider that consensus science wants you to believe that atmospheric CO2 – a mere 0.03 percent of the total volume of the atmosphere – is said to elevate global temperature by massively disobeying physical science.

You don’t get to ‘vote’ on how the elements behave. You can’t have a ‘consensus’ on the freezing temperature of water nor any other physical properties, including the heat conduction of CO2.
