So it follows that if we came to an Earth without an atmosphere, it would be very cold on the night side, but if we added any greenhouse gas then the Earth would warm, correct?
look if you had peer reviewed science showing man made co2 causing warming... you or any other agw advocate would present it. That author would probably have a nobel prize and be a household name. Please stop acting like you have science. You have speculation and models... If there is an slight energy imbalance...ie warming... there are myraid candidates for the cause. man made co2 is very unlikely to be a significant cause. I can give you dozens of peer reviewed articles showing the sun and the tides are likely to be the significant cause of warming and cooling.
Let me answer for piehole. "Yes but CO2 is a minor greenhouse gas that actually cools the earth because the Hansen hypothesis is inversely propotional to the thermal flux of the solar radiation. blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah so really we don't what will happen with continuing to increase the levels of CO2".
This is precisely why you should question everything govt is saying. When the big banks are on board you know the taxpayers are losing liberty and money. And, for them to agree on anything, you know its probably bullshit combined with an incredible marketing plan. coordinated with all their media holding and their politicians and even their social media trogs. Cmon guys wake up you are supporing the Deep State... be a real liberal and fight the man, don't work for the man.
I would think it most definitely would not warm unless heat was leaking from the core or there was some other source of thermal energy, other than stored solar energy . I'm guessing if you added a greenhouse gas, in a simulation, the Earth would cool less rapidly , depending on the gas properties and concentration distribution. Remember a greenhouse gas can't warm anything by itself. All it can do is affect the rate of thermal energy dissipation of another body. In the process it itself warms but what is really happening is that the rate of thermal energy dissipation from the Earth surface is being slowed down. You stepping out of your cozy cabin in Alaska at midnight on a January evening and someone handing you a jacket is a very bad analogy. But you taking a warm brick from the hearth out with you and wrapping that brick in a jacket is a good analogy. The brick won't get any warmer than it was in the cabin, but it will cool less rapidly with a jacket around it. The fire in your cabin is the sun. The brick is the Earth going from day to night, and the jacket is a greenhouse gas. But our Earth's atmosphere is a complex chaotic system. It does not consist of just one greenhouse gas, and certainly there is not one mechanism affecting the Earth's heating and cooling rates, but myriad mechanisms and they interact.. I am quite unqualified to answer your guestion, because one has to consider many factors all operating simultaneously. You'd do best to ask an expert. If they tell you they are not sure, they are probably very wise. If they give you a pat answer, they are probably wrong and not really an expert. I am both not an expert and unsure.
Banks. Businesses. Governments. Scientists. You don't have many of any weight left on your team. Doesn't necessarily mean you're wrong, but that is the way to bet.
you have banks and sell out politicians and a few (75 out of 77) agw nutter scientists on your side. You have no peer reviewed science which is why... the scientists are actually on our team... 31,487 American scientists have signed this petition, including 9,029 with PhDs http://www.petitionproject.org/ The survey we are discussing did not show the percentage of scientists who support the idea that man made co2 causes warming... you want to know why...
Lolol "On his radio program Monday, Rush Limbaugh claimed that NASA’s announcement of the discovery of flowing water on Mars is part of some larger plan by the Obama administration “to advance the leftist agenda.” "He admitted that he doesn’t “know what it is, I would assume it would be something to do with global warming,” speculating that NASA would “find a graveyard” from “an advanced civilization” that crumbled because of climate change."
It's a good thing Rush stays with prescription meds. Imagine if he started on street drugs too. The sad thing is that many heads nodded as he said it. One could hear the rattling as the small nut in the craniums bumped around.
