Global Warming in a Jar 2

A short video featuring a very clever student experiment has been posted to YouTube. To demonstrate the principal of global warming, an elementary school student explains an experiment he conducted for a recent science fair. This video was a collaboration between the Clean Air Conservancy and the Cleveland Museum of Natural History.

I did look at his work. He creates formulas that attempt to show that due to the conservation of energy the water cycle keeps the GHG factor as a rigid constant.

But this doesn't work, for the reasons I already listed. The energy trapped by the GHGs are not all at the same wavelengths and not all at the same altitude and it is wrong to try and lump them all together and say that the water cycle can maintain an equilibrium for something it cant touch.

@andiconda3 I'm guessing you didn't look up his work. Cause if you had, you'd have understood how YES it does work and why. Earth is in an equilibrium, and any attempts to change this equilibrium is counterbalanced by the system and brought back into balance. And it is 100% entirely controlled by the oceans and water vapor in the atmosphere.

@TexasSnyper

His math ignores differing optical densities at different wavelengths of spectra, and the fact that water vapor is in the relatively low altitudes of our atmosphere.

Besides, the very notion that GHGs must "overwhelm" the H2O cycle which some how keeps the temperature in "equilibrium" is stupid.

Such a mechanism would at best reduce the effect of GHG, but cannot negate it.

H2O itself is a GHG, but its role is complicated as different clouds formations have different effects.

@andiconda3 Look up Hungarian physicist Dr. Ferenc Miskolczi. He has mathematically proven that CO2 levels (not emissions) are irrelevant regarding earth temperatures. Nobody to date has been able to disprove his formula. It basically says that there's so much water vapor in our atmosphere that no amount of CO2 can sway the temperature without the water vapor counterbalancing it.

@TexasSnyper

So, perform your own better one that will prove that CO2 does not significantly trap heat. I'll be waiting to see it.

flawed experiment is flawed

Anyone that still believes in global warming is a tool.

@stjdavis If you don't trust the experiment then do what scientists do. Replicate it and see if you get similar or different results.

[robhoneycutt]

@TheCoveShorts Actually the earth DOES have a top on it. It's called the stratosphere. One of the fingerprints that prove AGW is that the troposphere (the layer we live in) is warming and the stratosphere is cooling. If global warming were caused by the sun we'd see even warming through the stratosphere and the troposphere.

All we have is his graphs. See this video where you can see the experiment happening.
