The theory of manmade climate change happens to be scientifically incorrect.
The warming itself was discovered by Eunice Foote in 1856. But the theory is not wrong because she is a woman. She was a top scientist, in a time when women had difficulty even in getting to college.
The theory is wrong because scientists found out it was wrong. (Actually “wrong” is the wrong word, the original work is absolutely correct, but there were limits discovered to her original work.)
After Foote’s discovery of Global Warming by Carbon Dioxide, the science spread slowly. People got concerned because they could see that human activities were likely to significantly increase Carbon Dioxide levels in the world.
At that time, a science called Thermodynamics was emerging. Newton had been able to bring star-and-planet-orbit mathematics down to Earth, to the fall of a stone or a runner’s gait. All were now subject to mathematics. Before this, mathematics was for accounting and calendar calculations, it was mostly for star scholars of the era. But suddenly mathematics came down from the stars to the Earth. Now it ruled the motion of anything and everything, not just stars and Sun and Moon and planets!
People tried to do this mathematical analysis for other things. The revolution spread out from Newton, so England and then Europe encountered it first.
People there tried to reduce heat and cold to mathematics, similarly. This was very successful and became a science called Thermodynamics.
Thermodynamics was the perfect science to take a look at Eunice Foote’s experiment, and to advance it. This is how it often happens in science, somebody makes a breakthrough but the expertise to examine that breakthrough may not emerge until decades later.
People had learned many things about heat. One type of heat was “radiation heat”, and this was the kind of heat that comes as sunlight. It is the heat you feel at your skin when it is in sunlight. Your skin absorbs that radiation, making itself warm.
They had learned that everything absorbs radiation, but to varying degrees. Turns out what Foote had observed, was just this type of warming. Just like your skin absorbs sunlight, so does carbon dioxide absorb radiation.
Carbon dioxide is a gas and most of the radiation goes through it. But even gases absorb some radiation. They absorb radiation in – it was discovered – certain radiation frequencies. This is how we can do spectral analysis. We run light through some substance, some gas usually, and the gas absorbs its own frequencies. We look at the other side at what got absorbed, and from that we can deduce what is the substance.
If you do spectral analysis of Carbon Dioxide, it will absorb its own spectral frequency. Oxygen will absorb its own. Nitrogen will absorb its own. There is nothing special about Carbon Dioxide, it has its spectral frequencies, exactly like everything else does.
But turned out, there was something special about Carbon Dioxide on Earth. There is a whole lot of organic material covering the Earth’s surface, and there are Carbon Dioxide molecules and/or molecular structures there. These Carbon Dioxide structures give up some heat over time as they cool off from the peak temperature of day, and that heat is in the special spectral frequencies of Carbon Dioxide.
Yes – there is some heat in Carbon Dioxide frequencies on Earth. This heat is what Foote had measured in her experiment, long before theory caught up with her.
The catch is – the heat is not a lot, it is tiny. It cannot raise the temperature a lot, maybe around half a degree or so at best. (Some early literature apparently claimed 5-6 degrees even. There is lot of early work on this issue, scientists knew mankind’s CO2 emissions would rise, and they were seriously concerned.)
Turns out, that half a degree(or whatever) had already happened. Not now, not some “tipping point” we crossed, but the total amount of heating that was ever possible from Carbon Dioxide, had already happened a hundred years ago.
Scientists stopped being concerned about the rising Carbon Dioxide levels. There was only enough energy in the relevant frequencies on Earth that the Carbon Dioxide would be able to raise the temperature by a little bit at most, and that little bit was already done and over with. The available energy in Carbon Dioxide frequencies, was already fully reflected in Earth’s temperatures.
But somehow certain NASA scientists had forgotten all this and made up the Carbon Dioxide bogeyman again, more than a hundred years after Foote’s discovery.
Well, actually, turned out these certain NASA scientists had not forgotten any of it. Because they never had learned any of it in the first place, there was nothing for them to forget. No knowledge, no understanding of Thermodynamics, just some wild guesses from some computer programs they had put together. People who are good at Computer Programming often imagine they do not need to learn other subjects, they can find out all they need to know from a brief summary comment somebody gives them. This is not true, Thermodynamics requires heavy learning. What you can learn from brief summary comments meant for programmers – is high level overview, and is likely to miss some very important details.
What they did not know about physics while copying and pasting programs that used physics – included details such as there was no manmade climate change possible from carbon dioxide, manmade carbon emissions were irrelevant, the alarm was entirely false.
The problem was simply that they did not know the science, they had made stuff up to cover what they did not know and combined it with rumors floating around about Carbon Dioxide.
The authors of manmade climate change were senior managers at NASA, and this gave them authority to hire and fire people – and they used their authority with a strong hand. NASA did have other scientists, and some of them knew some Thermodynamics. When they learned about the Greenhouse Gas Theory, some questions occurred to them. The lack of knowledge among the theory-authors started showing.
As the theory authors’ brutal incompetence started showing up, they started taking brutal actions to cover up that incompetence.
This resulted in the viciously suppressive manmade climate fraud. There were billions of dollars supporting hundreds of thousands of scientists in this “save the world from manmade climate change” issue. Anybody questioning the science was threatening the livelihood, ideals, the very being – of these hundreds of thousands of climate scientists, and they reacted with strong suppression of any science that raised any critical issues. There was serious data manipulation with nobody to question it, because all of the hundreds of thousands of scientists were vested in not questioning any of the fraud.
I was able to write a short series of 3 PDF files, which are one page each but explain to any people with understanding of physics, how manmade climate change is a mistake turned into a fraud. I challenged climate scientists publicly anywhere I could, with those 3 PDF files. I challenged MIT on Facebook. This was a two sided challenge. The oil-funded denier leader Richard Lindzen was an MIT professor, and I had found his refutation of manmade climate change was mistaken. Other MIT scientists were fully supportive of climate change, and I challenged them one and all, alarmists and deniers alike, on a public forum.
Not only was I challenging all of MIT scientists I was saying that even their denier didn’t get it right. I made it obvious I was the master of MIT scientists on this, I had material they needed to learn from me. I was doing it in on MIT’s own Facebook pages in full view of thousands – mostly including MIT professors, students and alumni. None came to the defense of their institution, my three PDFs were devastating to anybody who had ability to understand physics.
Then I followed up with the article mentioning and somewhat insulting to the NASA scientists of relevance. This article provided evidence that I could publicly goad NASA to sue me for slander, libel, defamation, whatever… and they would stay totally silent.
This weakened the manmade climate change in the scientists’ own minds, but the media was not going to be so easy. The environmentalists have been a vicious bunch, convinced they know “The Science”. Most of them usually do not, do not understand, any actual science. That is a problem, for I could not speak science to them and expect them to understand. Science was beyond them.
I targeted their information supply lines. All the articles in the media by environmentalists, use some scientists to provide quotes to make the article seem respectable.
I would look up these scientists and then send them my 3 PDF files and perhaps a link to the inflammatory article as well. They knew science, they realized what was happening, and stopped giving quotes to the environmentalists.
Without scientists to quote, the journalists kept getting weaker and weaker. Climate desks closed down.
In this environment, Trump’s actions to back out of the Paris Climate Treaty did not face any widespread outrage, unlike in 2017 when they had raised a strong ruckus.
This time around, the Environmentalists had been taken down, they had no power left to create widespread outrage. There was nobody left to quote.
