Guess what the temperature on the moon is (same distance from the Sun as Earth. Very cold you will wisely say because it has no atmosphere to keep it warm llike the earth with it's lovely greehouse gases. So you would expet it to be about -30C would you not? Guess what it can get to over 100C there. PROOF THE GREENHOUSE GAS (CO2) THEORY IS WRONG. A MYTH EXPOSED BY LORD TURKEY HIMSELF AND HIS MASSIVE BRAIN. Troll. |

Guess what it can get to over 100C there. PROOF THE GREENHOUSE GAS (CO2) THEORY IS WRONG. A MYTH EXPOSED BY LORD TURKEY HIMSELF AND HIS MASSIVE BRAIN. I hate replying to this kind of stuff, but the fallacy here is pretty obvious even to people who make these claims, once it's pointed out. The temperature in question is the temperature of the atmosphere. That's what you get on weather reports and that's what 'climate' refers to the patterns of. The temperature of a gas is fairly intuitive under every-day conditions, but the atmosphere of the moon is very different from what we're used to. I could get technical as all get-out, but the most intuitive concept of the right temperature to measure is the one that would be measured under a double awnng that is large compared to the average distance molecules in the gas travel between collisions (that's a microscopic distance on the earth's surface, but molecules in the moon's atmosphere essentially never collide with each other), averaged over a time that's large compared with the average time between collisions of the gas molecules with each other (again, smaller than human senses can handle on the earth's surface, but at least seconds on the moon's surface). So the temperature you'd need to even start this comparison is the temperature measured under an enormous double awning on the moon's surface, allowing the thermometer a few days to settle on its reading. It would compare to the temperature measured on the surface of the earth in any kind of shade after a few minutes for the measurement to stabilize. Rather than messing with all this, I greatly prefer to say that the concept of atmospheric temperature doesn't apply to the surface of the moon. Nobody is claiming that atmospheric carbon dioxide presently affects the temperature of a rock in the sun on the Earth's surface, so looking at the temperature of a rock in the sun on the moon's surface is beside the point. |

Actually you can use that name for your next incarnation. I won't even charge for the branding exercise. Ahhh thanks for that however I notice you nave not replied this previous discussion below, I expect you are too embarassed to, having made a complete and utter fool of ourself. At least you showed good judgement there, not wanting to show yourself up as a fool but I think you need timely reminder I think you may have misunderstood the nature of our relationship. You, as the group idiot, frequently post nonsense illustrating your complete lack of understanding in a variety of different areas. *When I feel like it*, I post replies pointing out your stupidity. I do this for my own amusement, and perhaps that of others in the group. We aren't having a conversation! Nor am I contractually obligated to point out *all* your errors. I have a life. I doubt that. Still, it would be a shame to miss out your latest effort: "Pyriform" wrote: Lord Turkey Cough wrote: Of course public transport use more CO2 not less, as buses make the return journey virtually empty. I had no idea there were CO2 powered buses. Do they use soda-syphon engines? Well you are just thick. Thats all. Every knows an ICE is powered by CO2 Here is a page to explain it to you. http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/ks3bite..._react_7.shtml So you have managed to read that kids' page (or perhaps you had it read to you), and still believe that an Internal Combustion Engine is *powered by* CO2. Astonishing. I expect you settle down to 3 square meals a day of your own excrement! |

"Pyriform" wrote in message ... Pete wrote: Global warming, yes, natural progression - it's been happening for thousands of years. Well before we had cars and coal fired power stations. You think the planet has been getting warmer for thousands of years? And you have the instrumental records and paleoclimatic temperature reconstructions to prove that, do you? Or are you in fact talking out of your arse? I expect you didn't notice the glaciers which cover the UK melting. I expect you were to busy sounding stupid. |

Err.......We are talkng about the surface tremperature You can measure it with a themometer (heat meter) |
