Why I want to speed up Global Warming!

DAB
DAB
16 Feb 2014

As some of you have seen in past posts, I completely reject the current effort to concern the public about global warming.

 

Mostly I object to the blatant scare tactics and lack of any scientific information that supports their position that we should work to stop it.  This last point is the really ludicrous goal.  When you do the math, we mortal humans have very few options when it comes to altering a natural planetary cycle.

 

So I went to the impeachable data source, the Geologic Record.  The data is very clear.  The earth has alternated between cold earth and warm earth states for the last 2.5 BILLION years.

When you add the Ice Core data, it shows that the cycle has been running about every 100,000 years for the last 700,000 to 800,000 years.

Almost all of the cycles have repeated like clockwork completely without any HUMAN involvement at all.

This last part is key.  The anti-global warming faction want to blame the industrial development by humans as the cause for the latest cycle.  rubbish!

 

The eco faction claims that burning the rain forest and burning fossil fuels has increased the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere and that is the cause of global warming.  Unfortunately, the math just does not work for this claim.

First of all, they are trying to use the Ice Core data as their source for comparing the CO2 levels.  They only made one tiny mistake.  The Ice trapped the CO2 level at about 10,000 feet (3000 meters) or higher.  They then want to compare those values to the current CO2 levels as measured at sea level.  When you look at the atmosphere density numbers, you would need to read twice or three times that sea level data to match the expected CO2 levels trapped in the ice.

 

Note, all of this data is in a paper published by a Polish Geologist who correctly measured the physical process of how the CO2 is first trapped and then dissolved into the water crystals as the weight of the ice compresses each snow level into glacial ice.  His research shows a very clean natural cycle by which the CO2 is removed from the atmosphere on the onset of global cooling.  Over the 50,000 years of the cycle, the CO2 levels are slowly reduced until they reach their minimum levels at the peak of the Ice age, some 12-14,000 years ago.

 

As the planet naturally warms, the ice releases the trapped CO2 until the levels reach their peak in about another 35,000 years from now.  No magic, no Human involvement, just a clean well defined natural cycle.

The latest NASA satellite measured the CO2 accumulations around the planet.  They confirmed that you have the highest concentrations of CO2 in the areas where we see melting ice.  In the high mountains and on both poles.  There were no abnormal CO2 levels in ANY of the industrial centers around the world.  So stopping the use of fossil fuels is not going to have ANY affect on the global warming cycle.

 

Now lets talk about the consequences of global warming.  The Eco factions have claimed that we will all drown as the sea levels rise as the ice melts.  That's not what the Geologic record says.

Yes, the ice will release a lot of water, BUT, ice takes up 10% more volume than water!  So we should se a net reduction in sea levels as the ice melts.

As for the land locked ice, yes it will add some additional water, but they are overlooking one important fact.  As the earth warms, there will be a tremendous absorption of water into the atmosphere.  One clear normal cycle is that warm air can hold a lot more water than cold air.  So as the earth warms, we will see a significant rise in humidity into the upper latitude regions that are currently very dry.

 

When we look into the Geologic Record, we see that a warm earth creates a huge amount of arable land up to the 70 degree latitude level.  That means we will get a huge amount of land to grow crops and support the population.  I do not see that result as being bad for humans.

 

We have also been told that the warming earth will create huge mega storms.  Again, science shows a much different result.  As the seas and the atmosphere warms, it will actually get MORE stable.  Why?  Storms are caused by the mixing of cold dry air and warm moist air.  With warm areas up to the 70 degree latitude area, the amount of cold dry air will be reduced by over 60%.  Most of the earth will experience the afternoon rain forest effect where we will get a short down pour in the late afternoon with just localized thunderstorms.  No mega hurricanes or typhoons, just consistent rain fall.  Most importantly, we will see rising humidity into areas that are now dry arid regions.  The deserts will bloom again!

 

As for living conditions, we will need much less energy to keep warm.  We should also need almost no cooling as the temperature will stabilize at about 85 degrees F for year round temperatures.

With the constant rain fall, we should have plenty of fresh water falling from the sky, so we can provide clean drinking water just about everywhere.  Hydro power can dominate the reduced energy needs of the population and we can use canals and small boats for efficient transportation.

 

I do not know about you, but I am not finding anything to fear here.

 

Plus we have a lot of time to prepare for the event.  We are currently about 13,000 years into the 50,000 year global warming cycle.  So there is absolutely no need to panic.  Yes, we will have some localized flooding along the way, but we have those every year anyway.

 

So while I am sitting in my home with the outside temperature at 30 degrees F, and oh by the way, we have spent much of the last six weeks below that temperature, I find it very desirable to have an early global warming cycle.  So I plan to burn fossil fuels, increase my carbon foot print and put as much CO2 into the atmosphere that I can and I urge all of you to do the same.

Plus I plan to beat any Eco person I meet with a stick, just to get warm. image

 

So I say enough with this Chicken Little doom and gloom propaganda about global warming.  The SCIENCE says don't panic, common sense says don't panic and the Eco people have not provided one shred of supportable data that says we should panic.  So just say "I want Global Warming and I want it NOW!" and join me in silencing these worry warts who know nothing of value.

 

Just my opinion,

DAB

    In general I would say to DAB - I can see why you think you might be onto something here, but as I understand it the science does not support your argument. A lot of people who are concerned about the…

    Hi Tom,

     

    You do not need my permission to comment on any blog at Element 14, especially my own. 

    I greatly enjoyed your interaction as you have demonstrated you have both conviction and intelligence to at least discuss the issue.

     

    As you have shown, there are already a solid defense set up for ignoring non-believers.  I was neither surprised nor discouraged.  As I said the engineering metrics needed for their theory fails the giggle test and will eventually unravel.  I only wish that millions of people did not need to suffer while they defend their belief.

     

    I made this post as a prelude to a new blog on my upcoming book "I Killed Schrodinger's Cat!".

     

    I have made a very interesting discovery about the current scientific beliefs world wide and I am about to suggest a new way to view the universe and everything in it.

    I have followed the old scientific procedures of documenting my theory and then having it independently verified and validated.

    It works and it answers many questions about everything from subatomic issues to cosmology.

    The book is just the spark to initiate some discussions and hopefully some independent experiments to prove it is right.

    And yes, it will impact the current Ecological understanding on the planet.

     

    I indeed have new data that affects everything.  The science community is about to get a lesson in why "consensus" is a very dangerous way to proclaim what is and is not science.  It requires a willingness to think about the possibilities and consider all of the theories.  Fifty years ago there was no consensus on plate tectonics, now it is considered correct.

    For the last 85 years, physicists have clung to probability theory as an alternative to looking deeper into the how the universe works.

    In my observation, that consensus stifled physics and cosmology for all of those years.

     

    By using an open mind and considering "heretical" options, I have defined a theory that I am very confident will eventually prove it is true.

    Like Einstein, I used the old German gedunken exercises to explore how it might answer the many questions unanswered by Quantum Mechanics.

     

    So there is no final word to knowledge and understanding.  Our data, theories and beliefs change with demonstrated and independently verified facts.

    In my case, I applied a Systems Engineering approach to see if I could unravel the Universe.  My book will show that there is indeed a solution to many questions about how things might really work.

     

    Time will tell.  The same is true for the theory that man has caused Global Warming.  Maybe not in my lifetime, but eventually the data will prove what is true.

     

    Thank you for your time, it has indeed be fun.

    Don, a final word if I may. If you really think you've spotted something crucial that hundreds of professional climate scientists have missed, why don't you float your ideas in a forum where you can advise them of their omission, instead of here. Over and out - Tom

    Hi Tom,

     

    If I said anything offensive, I apologize.  This topic just gets my juices flowing.

    I encourage you to continue research on the subject.  If you do find the data I am searching for, please let me know.

    Thanks for the discussion.

    I've done a bit of lateral research and I can see where you're coming from, but in saying the "skeptics web site is the best political spin zone I have ever seen" you have made it impossible for me to respond in the terms you ask, as it suggests you will only dismiss my own arguments as political spin, and I really don't have time for that.

     

    I hope at least that some of your readers will visit https://www.skepticalscience.com/ (others are available) and follow some of the debates. The regulars (some of whom are colleagues of my colleagues) are very welcoming to people with your opinion, very well-informed, and very precise in keeping the discussion to the science. The points you raise in your OP are often floated, and often dismissed - but of course you have already given your reason for that.

     

    All the best

     

    Tom
