Global Warming & Climate Change Myths

Here's a hint math genius: a gallon of fuel doesn't WEIGH 20 pounds.


Every gallon of fuel we burn through an Internal Combustion Engine creates 20+ Lbs of CO2. And coal is even worse. Currently, we are producing more than twice the amount of CO2 than the planet can absorb. And that CO2 stays in the atmosphere for 150 years. We had better start reducing the amount of CO2 that we produce, if we want a planet that our children and grandchildren can live on.

Obviously you're a member of the "Evur time less energy goes in, more comes out" club LoL!

It seems impossible that a gallon of gasoline, which weighs about 6.3 pounds, could produce 20 pounds of carbon dioxide (CO2) when burned. However, most of the weight of the CO2 doesn't come from the gasoline itself, but the oxygen in the air.

When gasoline burns, the carbon and hydrogen separate. The hydrogen combines with oxygen to form water (H2O), and carbon combines with oxygen to form carbon dioxide (CO2).

CO2 molecule with one carbon atom (atomic weight 12) and two oxygen atoms (atomic weight of 16 each)A carbon atom has a weight of 12, and each oxygen atom has a weight of 16, giving each single molecule of CO2 an atomic weight of 44 (12 from carbon and 32 from oxygen).

Therefore, to calculate the amount of CO2 produced from a gallon of gasoline, the weight of the carbon in the gasoline is multiplied by 44/12 or 3.7.

Since gasoline is about 87% carbon and 13% hydrogen by weight, the carbon in a gallon of gasoline weighs 5.5 pounds (6.3 lbs. x .87).

We can then multiply the weight of the carbon (5.5 pounds) by 3.7, which equals 20 pounds of CO2!

About 19.6 pounds of CO2 are produced from burning a gallon of gasoline that does not contain fuel ethanol. About 12.7 pounds of CO2 are produced when a gallon of pure ethanol is combusted.

Burning a gallon of E10 produces about 17.6 pounds of CO2 that is emitted from the fossil fuel content. If the CO2 emissions from ethanol combustion are included, then about 18.9 pounds of CO2 are produced when a gallon of E10 is combusted.

About 22.4 pounds of CO2 are produced from burning a gallon of diesel fuel. Biodiesel fuel can be purchased in many states. Biodiesel fuel is sold with various amounts of biodiesel content. B20 is a commonly sold biodiesel fuel. B20 contains 20% biodiesel and 80% petroleum diesel fuel. Burning a gallon of B20 results in the emission of about 17.9 pounds of CO2 that is emitted from the fossil fuel content

Except for the fact that

the fakes you believed who calculated the planet's surface 33 degrees short of the real temperature,

can't even REACH
the REAL temperature of the planet.

Which of course is always a problem when promulgating math fraud: not being able to calculate the temperature of things.

i've thought of this myself a bit
from what i've read the warm up would dramatically increase
drastic cut back in combustion would sharply decrease the fine particulates and the sulfur oxides in the atmosphere
both get washed out of the air quickly if you don't replace them constantly
we've got a shit load of warming built up just waiting to roar
should be quite a ride

And the fact the REAL gas law responsible for the REAL mathematical equations leading to the REAL temperature of the planet - don't include any of the fantasy you claim you're sure of.

The REAL temperature of the planet,
calculated using the REAL law for such calculation,
arriving at the REAL temperature of the planet:

Oh yeah that's right the REAL temperature of the planet surface is 288 Kelvin.

Not the FAKE 255 Kelvin you've been told: https://goo.gl/1jozuG

The REAL law for calculating temperatures of gases hence atmospheres rearranged so the temperature of ANY of the planets can be accurately calculated: using the REAL LAW of physics
WRITTEN SPECIFICALLY
for CALCULATING them.

https://goo.gl/CCH8Fp

Aw man... 288 Kelvin.

Your belief in your church's sayings
without your even CHECKING what they told you
has led you to believe fantasy fairy dust stories about

"Evurtime less energy goes in, it makes more come out because of a magical gaissiness can't nunna yaW undurstand!"


Oh, but we DO understand, and we KNOW
the real temperature of the planet surface,
just like we KNOW the real temperature on Venus,

and we KNOW

how your church, fails to calculate the proper temperature

of EITHER of them:

REFUSING to USE the GAS LAW WRITTEN
s.p.e.c.i.f.i.c.a.l.l.y. for RESOLVING such temperatures.

Since - if you do it WITHOUT that law - ya come up

!D'oH! - 33 degrees SHORT.

Coming up 33 degrees short, is THE MANDATORY ERROR IN DOING it WRONG that way

There's no "Wayle, ya sea, thim air'uh'sawlz.."

And there's no "Wayle, tha magicalness of tha gaissiness
dun made more come out evur time it dun made less go in.''

There's not ONE correct temperatures for any planet, involved in your church's claim of being able to calculate the temperature of compressible-phase matter,
not using compressible-phase matter law to DO it.


Not for ANY planet
does your church's FAKE method
EVER arrive at ANY actual, real planetary surface temperature.


Which means everything you claim is just plain faked: in your face fraud, so transparent,

they actually TELL you it's fake on the SAME PAGE,

''The class of gases making 29% less energy reach and warm the planet, are making more than 100% of available energy come out!"

And that ''And if the gases making 29% less energy in, make even LESS energy go in,

that'll cause even MORE energy to come OUT!
"

The story coupled with wrong temperatures for every planet in the Solar System that you're REAL SURE doesn't VIOLATE basic thermodynamics.

:laughing:

There it is right there: complete with pictures reminding you the very first step of calculating the planet's temperature is COOLING it 29% due to - almost entirely - the GHGs not allowing that energy to arrive.

Your church telling you "Making less come in has dun made more come out!"

They drew you a picture so you're sure of what they tell you:

29% less in,

https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/ContentFeature/EnergyBalance/images/reflected_radiation.jpg

is making MORE than 100%, COME back OUT:

"About 29 percent of the solar energy that arrives at the top of the atmosphere is reflected back to space by clouds, atmospheric particles, or bright ground surfaces like sea ice and snow. This energy plays no role in Earth’s climate system. The atmosphere and the surface of the Earth together absorb 71 percent of incoming solar radiation, so together, they must radiate that much energy back to space for the planet’s average temperature to remain stable."

Just a few paragraphs later, the reveal: the magicalness,
of the gassiness has

"dun made more come out, evurtime it dun made less go in!"

Effect on Surface Temperature
"The natural greenhouse effect raises the Earth’s surface temperature to about 15 degrees Celsius on average—more than 30 degrees warmer than it would be if it didn’t have an atmosphere."


https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Features/EnergyBalance

LoL R.e.a.l.l.y! The very atmosphere, making nearly 30% less energy go in, are making MORE than 100% come back out by - never letting that 29%, go in!

How signtsie.

Here's the temperature of the planet surface being calculated WRONG, thus arriving at the WRONG temperature - by a priest in your cult of "more comes out every time less goes in."

https://goo.gl/kXUvic

And he's even got a CHART - of EVERY one of the PLANETS' temperatures - WRONG.

https://goo.gl/NXtCyT

:laughing:

LoL! Oh! Look! His chart even has the RIGHT temperatures of the planets, with the claim that - that sh**'s all wrong,

"Evurbodie what says 'Less in don't make more come out'
an' awl thim thurmomiturs
is RaWNG!" "YaW."

That's your church's answer to why they can't calculate the temperature of a SINGLE PLANET SURFACE correctly.

"Thim asturnot peepul,
and thim astrophysicists,
and thim aviation fellurs,
and thim aerospace fellurs landin' ships on planets,
and thim thurmomiturs - Thay ain't evun signtsie!
"

https://goo.gl/fBk17N

Here's the problem the church's foot-soldiers have in a graphical layout of why it's so hard to make people believe in it:

https://goo.gl/mkawJx

Here's that problem, taking into account the fact there's no such thing in real scientific endeavor, as

"more energy coming out of something because magical insulation made less energy go in.''

https://goo.gl/NLPHYy

The paradox for believers who can't even name the law of physics they thought made

more energy come out of things less energy went into, - by making less, ever go in.

https://goo.gl/UGHUub

Since you're telling yourself it's not possible for your church to be wrong about the temperature

of every single planet in the Solar System,

yes - the church'a the frawdie gassiness, calculates the temperature wrong

for E.V.E.R.Y.
single P.L.A.N.E.T.
in the solar system, here it is again, so you can't say

"You didn't ever see that."

Oh yes: you did.

I accept your copy paste as truthful in that. I didn't consider the weight of the oxygen.

About 19.6 pounds of CO2 are produced from burning a gallon of gasoline that does not contain fuel ethanol. About 12.7 pounds of CO2 are produced when a gallon of pure ethanol is combusted.

Burning a gallon of E10 produces about 17.6 pounds of CO2 that is emitted from the fossil fuel content. If the CO2 emissions from ethanol combustion are included, then about 18.9 pounds of CO2 are produced when a gallon of E10 is combusted.

About 22.4 pounds of CO2 are produced from burning a gallon of diesel fuel. Biodiesel fuel can be purchased in many states. Biodiesel fuel is sold with various amounts of biodiesel content. B20 is a commonly sold biodiesel fuel. B20 contains 20% biodiesel and 80% petroleum diesel fuel. Burning a gallon of B20 results in the emission of about 17.9 pounds of CO2 that is emitted from the fossil fuel content

It's too bad the people who told you magic insulation makes more energy come out of things it makes less go into,

didn't also teach you the name of the Gas Law involving your claims.

The sole chart in all chemistry assigning both CO2 and Atmospheric Air their energy constants for usage in the REAL calculation,

of the REAL temperatures of gas mixes,

assigns CO2 the LOWER Energy Constant, or ''R''

and assigns Air the HIGHER Energy Constant, also ''R''

for use in REAL calculations of temperatures of volumes of gas mixes, using the REAL math written to do it, ''PV =nRT.''

In other words you didn't know it because all you can do is copy paste but addition of CO2 to air is MANDATED by gas LAW - those energy constants - to make the mix COOLER through addition of CO2.

The chart is part II of the law and is all over the internet because REAL science uses it all the time.

Of course the crank quacks who told you adding CO2 to air can warm it - DON'T USE the ONLY CHART on EARTH WRITTEN to actually calculate the temperatures of those gases when mixed in various concentrations.

https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/specific-heat-capacity-gases-d_159.html

Got any explanation for why your church told you CO2 has a higher energy constant than Air?

When you get one you let us know because that's the SOLE law in all PHYSICS that ASSIGNS those two gases their Energy Constants.

We'll all wait while you find that chart assigning CO2 the HIGHER Energy Constant for use in calculations,

Here's the REAL chart, showing the REAL effect of Carbon Dioxide on the temperature of the planet.

Go figure CO2 alone, AND OXYGEN alone, are COOLANTS to the Atmosphere, shown CLEARLY in e.v.e.r.y. REAL scientific chart on the PLANET

to be part of the trace gases creating that 29% cooling, that's the

very

first

step,

in resolving the temperature of the planet surface: https://goo.gl/wzzf5Z

See? There's OXYGEN doing about 3% of that 29% COOLING

and there's the two GHGs doing the vast MAJORITY of the REST of that cooling:

H2O
and
CO2.

Show us your chart NOT listing those two gases as COOLING the planet.


We'll wait.

We'll all be waiting a long time because you don't know where to find a chart that states CO2 or Oxygen have a higher energy constant than standard Air.

Because there ISN'T one.

You're just barking because your political handlers blew the dog whistle that it was time for people who can't even name the law of physics they're claiming makes more energy come out of things less goes into,

and didn't know the sole chart in all of chemistry
assigns CO2 and Oxyben l.o.w.e.r. energy constants than Air,

to start claiming you're experts in atmospheric chemistry.

The atmospheric chemistry you don't even know the name of the law of physics governing.

The atmospheric chemistry you didn't know sets the REAL temperature of the planet surface as 288 Kelvin.

:laughing:

C'mon Captain Copy Paste.

Explain

coming up with the WRONG temperature for EVERY planet in the SOLAR SYSTEM.

https://goo.gl/NXtCyT

Refusing to use the gas laws WRITTEN because no other laws can calculate their temperatures correctly, - LoLoL.

Refusing to use the REAL CHART
in the REAL LAW actually WRITTEN
to calculate the REAL temperatures of CO2, Oxygen, Air, etc.

Telling you more of the very gases CREATING 29% less energy in will make ever MORE energy come out - by making ever less energy come in.

You can't explain why the very gases you claim made a cold light blocking nitrogen bath a HEATER are the VERY gases listed on all the charts on earth - as the ones COOLING the planet.

https://goo.gl/9V1UJy

Here's the REAL chart of the REAL law that arrives at REAL temperatures for gases, matching the results of the REAL chart above

showing both Oxygen AND CO2: as atmospheric coolants.

Here's a hint Captain Copy-Paste:

both Oxygen and CO2 are listed as COOLANTS in the Atmosphere

ON BOTH CHARTS.


Explain yourself telling these people those gases, warm the Atmosphere in the face of the

CHART of LAW ASSIGNING EACH GAS, their Energy Constants

and,

CHART of GASES creating the 29% COOLING by the Atmosphere

BOTH
contradicting your FAKE claims of either Oxygen, or CO2, somewhow ever warming the Atmosphere.


Here's the other chart, showing PRECISELY what the CHART of LAW, says MUST be HAPPENING: Oxygen and/or Carbon Dioxide are BOTH atmospheric COOLANTS.

Actually growing annuals like Cannabis doesn't sequester carbon.

Unless you store it in your basement in plastic bags so it can't decompose.

When it de-composes, it's chemically similar to a slow burn. Consumes oxygen, releases CO2.

some food for thought on the many fun things that could result from a bump upwards
some plants are fussy about their pollination temperatures
our favourite is fairly tolerant, it will take high temps as we well know
now rice, rice is not so tolerant, it has a narrower window
not a pleasant though when you consider how much of the world population relies on rice
but i'm sure everything will be just fine
