Is man the cause of the increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere? Is carbon dioxide a greenhouse gas? Is the climate warming? A brief look at black body radiation and the infrared spectrum.

  • The not on my planet attitude and the great race:

    Dukof1 has proposed a global warming race between terraforming Mars using greenhouse gases to make it habitable, & the global warming induced Sea Level (SL) rise on Earth. He thinks that terraforming Mars would win. It seems to me that he is willing to accept that the greenhouse effect is real and capable of relatively fast results but only if it's not on this planet. Why does he think that the laws of Physics would act faster on another planet?

  • It doesn't matter if it's 10 or 20cm. The point is that any significant rise will take several hundred to thousands of years. Who cares about that? The society will be totally different. Our current buildings will only be pictures in a museum, made of materials we haven't yet invented. We will more likely populate Mars before the sea level has risen 1 meter. Let alone you talk about hundreds of feet in your video. And you give NO estimate to when, because you know it's ridiculously far out.

  • @dukof1 Sorry but the details do matter. At the end of the last 100 year period sea level rise increased to 3.3 mm/yr. At the beginning of the 100 year period that you referred to, the rate was only 1.7mm/yr. If the rate were to double again in keeping with the last 100 years then the rate would be 6.6 mm/yr by the end of that period. However the situation may be worse than that as the rate of decline in Antarctica has increase 4 fold. This places your 1m increase in SL in range by 2100.

  • @dukof1 As for populating Mars, it needs to be terraformed first. Its absolutely freezing and could do with an atmosphere. Perhaps you could bottle your CO2 emissions and send them there, they'll need them. Good luck! I wonder what planet the scientists got the idea of using greenhouse gases to make another planet like Mars inhabitable. The idea is to melt the ice caps on Mars to give it a sea and to obtain water to support life.

  • Complete nonsense scare propaganda. Sure the sea may rise, and temperature, but it will take thousands of years for the ocean to rise even a meter. 10cm over last 100 years. And temperature about half a degree. How stupid can ppl get..

  • @dukof1 Thank you for responding to my video that investigated the evidence regarding global warming. When you say that the sea level and temperature may be rising, you are on the right track; because it is. However, you may need to check your data on the rate of sea level rise. The graph I posted in this video shows a rise of 20 cm not ten.

    Extrapolating the rise in sea level due to rising temps based on a historical period with 35 yrs of aerosol cooling does not make sense.

  • BTW, how about a sub?

  • @RasPesher

    Mars has intolerably potent electromagnetic fields of wild variation.

    There are alien ruins there from when it was populated in the distant past, but now, for the human class of life it is ruined.

  • @RasPesher

    My dear friend, the melting polar ice caps are contributing to the global water cycle, and are the reason why global rainfall has increased over the past few years.

    This rain is falling in the desert, amongst other places and greening and cooling those expanses where it now regularly rains.

  • @firepowerjohan You have said that the recent temperature warming is due to natural process and that perhaps 10 years into the future science will discover a hitherto unknown mechanism that will prove you right. This tells me that you don't have any evidence to claim that it is a natural process. I'm sorry but all claims require evidence. To say that you don't need top supply evidence but everyone else has to, is special pleading.
