AGW Post Number 113, 1-16-22



There may be over 13 posts, starting with 100 on this one. A search didn't reveal all of them in sequence. An idea didn't get followed up on, what can I say?

It may also be true that I've written this before, or something like it. Truth is, the blog has become somewhat disorganized. Not that it makes much difference either way.

Nope, this is Joe Blow talking out his ass about something again. Take it for what it is worth. But know this, the experts can be wrong, and often are. Besides, who decides who is an expert? How is truth determined? A Russian dissident during the Cold War once quoted a proverb from his own country. It went like this: "Don't trust anybody but your own crooked eye". It may pay to be skeptical. It may even be a matter of life and death. Think what you will of this, but please think for yourselves. Pretty please.

After that little intro to this post, let me get into it. I want to propose to look at this at the scale that may give you an idea of the magnitude of what AGW doomers want you to believe. So let's suppose that a molecule of gas is one foot in diameter. A line of molecules touching each other and in a straight line, which consists of one million molecules, will stretch for a little over 189 miles. The doomers are concerned about 400 parts per million of carbon dioxide. That much is not much. That would give you a carbon dioxide molecule about every 1/2 mile.

Suppose at each half mile, you get your molecule up to being really, really hot. Can you imagine this? It may take a little imagination, but try to imagine it really hot. Then ask yourself how hot will the molecule at 1/2 mile away be?

If you argue that a line is only one dimensional. If you were to make it in a cube, then the numbers would get even smaller. That's because if you cube it, you get .04 percent times .04 percent times .04 percent. The result is 0.000064 percent. You are going the wrong direction there, it seems. By the way, .04 percent is 400 parts per million.

If you argue along different lines, you are probably missing the point. The point is that 400 parts per million is a really small number. It is being called upon to do really big things, and I'm not buying it.

In a fairy tale, the cow can jump over the moon. The real world, such a feat is a bit more challenging. Anyway, I'm not believing their fairy tales.

If you challenge their evidence and their reasoning, there is always some sticky little problem. If you question it, you are a climate denier. Supposedly it is all about science, but it doesn't seem that way when you cannot convince by your arguments, and you resort to arm twisting and bullying. But that's how the pinkos get their way. Too bad that this is the case, but unless some folks start to pipe up a bit, we are going to have to believe their fairy tales or else.
