    Yeah, well a good tax increase will take care of all that "boiling global warming".
    That's what all the experts say, anyhow.

    The earth includes the atmosphere.
    I recognize this for what it is. You'll draw no further responses from me on this matter.

    Does it follow Kepler's laws of motion? I think not.

    Gah......I can't resist teaching. I'll help you out here.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perturb...28astronomy%29

    The presence of atmospheric contents is a special perturbation (orbital) and explains any deviation from Keplers Laws.

    Notice the difference in terminology between what the first echo's were, and what they now call a stratopheric satellite? My God... You go with stratopheric satellites, then change the goal post to sateloons...

    In my other post, I was saying it doesn't appear they have fully functioning stratospheric satellites yet. They are still in development. If you wish to twist my words again, what can I say. I was going to ignore you, but figured I would point out once again how you twist things first.
    The goal? God you are dumb what part of

    Most people realize that most things are many things all at the same time.
    A dog is a canine, an animal, a mammal, a carnivore, a domesticaed species etc.

    Those satellites are also stratospheric, balloons, mylar, electronic, etc.

    its things like this that make me say that you are dumb. This is a very simple concept that most people understand. You OTOH require it be dumbed down into singulars.

    thats why I treat you with such contempt when a scientific discussion happens. its like the soot argument. Scientist actually consider the effect it has an include it in the whole yet you portray it as this all or nothing thing and try to pass off there admission that it exists as some sort of triumph.

    Its pathetic.

    LOL...

    Atmospheric drag and winds changing the path isn't quite the same as gravitational changes.

    In astrodynamics and the case of man-made satellites, orbital perturbation may be a consequence of atmospheric drag or solar radiation pressure.
    I know this is what you mean, but the consideration is for the molecules of gas that exist above the atmosphere where is still isn't like open space. Not continually being in the atmosphere. ... we may as well call ships at sea satellites if we are going to call balloons that. I wonder ay what TORR low earth satellites operate in?

    $300/hr... That's might be on the cheap for private tutoring, of what you may be capable of.

    Thats not his point dimwit. He is talking about multiple forces impacting a system. A Satellite that impacts anything including gas will be deviated from Keplers geometric predictions. Kepler attributed geometry to celestial bodies and you should look up the definition of celestial anyway. What he is getting at is Newton's F=ma which was inspired by Kepler's observations. Newton understood that there were multiple forces that could act on a body.

    What you are doing here is once again dumbing it down to a singular. Your pea brain cannot fathom complex systems. The definition of a satellite is not an orbiting body only influenced by gravity but you are so stupid you have to frame it as such.

    That you are arguing with a physics research scientist when your specialty is limited to troubleshooting checklists that you have memorized is just sad.

    Pathetic.

    It's not so much as he is dumbing it down here or elesewhere, it's that he's subjectively dumbing it down

    If you break it down the right way, obeying conservation laws (thermodynamics) it becomes simple.

    Greenhouse gasses have lower specific heat capacity than normal ambient air. They also absorb more sunlight. By inserting them into the atmosphere and out of the ground, we're putting them first in line to absorb solar energy. Significant T increase should be anticipated.

    All of the extra crap is just filling gaps in the energy balance equation, we already know what these gases do.

    LOL...

    The intensity of the sun isn't going to change if there is a net gain or loss. If it wan't Hansen making the statement, I might listen. Look at his words carefully.

    Who's he trying to fool?

    Now consider this, when ocean currents take an average 800 years to circulate and the sun has been warming after the Maunder Minima for the last 250+ years:



    NASA study solves case of Earth's 'missing energy'; 01.31.12

    The oceans have been and will continue to collect extra heat until we are in balance. They collect far more solar heat directly than, about 90+% of the light from the sun. Greenhouse gasses make little difference as only the very top of the ocean car release IR, but the light penetrates very deep.
    Wow there is so much thermodynamic fail in this statement. If the ocean is collecting heat, its not driving any warming. Also, if only the top of the oceans can release IR then how the are the bottom of the oceans warming anything? And LOL @ light penetrating very deep. 200 meters in an ocean 10s of kilometers deep is not "very deep" by any stretch of the imagination. Dr. Optics ftw.

    Oh and no, ocean currents do not take an average of 800 years to circulate. Europe is not being heated by Gulf Stream waters that predate Columbus. SMH.

    But seriously, even a modest understanding of thermodynamics is needed to understand that an ocean that is warming can not possibly be driving atmospheric heating.

    Pretty sure WC is a troll account but I sometimes still cant' resist responding to him when he posts the so obviously wrong climate change crap.

    Can you imagine the number of hurricanes we'd have in the winter months if the ocean moved heat that slowly? You could kiss seasonality good bye.

    Rather then responding to specific refutations you resort to this. I understand you not wanting to discuss thermodynamics. Even the 2-D heat equation would make your pea brain explode.

    But don't you know the heat was all hiding in the ocean to explain the heating he formerly argued did not exist. The entire line is asinine.

    That's right. Choose a small segment rather than the whole. Probably all a peanut gallery seat holder can comprehend.

    Maybe you can try to wrap your head around this:

    Thermohaline circulation

    While the bulk of it upwells in the Southern Ocean, the oldest waters (with a transit time of around 1600 years) upwell in the North Pacific (Primeau, 2005).


    As for thermodynamics, I'm not going to try to guess what your accusation is. It has several mechanisms. Without a specific example of what you think I don't understand, it would a complete waste of time for me to keep guessing what you are assuming.

    That's the point really. Think about it. Since you invoked them, re-read Keplers Laws again then review general and special perturbations.

    I know this is what you mean, but the consideration is for the molecules of gas that exist above the atmosphere where is still isn't like open space. Not continually being in the atmosphere.
    Atmospheric density is a gradient no? Here you imply that you have knowledge of a cutoff density, above which consideration of special perturbations comes into play. Do share.

    Hint: For purposes of this argument, providing a link to any published study would clinch it for me.

    Because ships at sea operate in low pressure systems and are subject to the same perturbations as satellites operating in thin atmosphere? smh.

    If you know of any ships at sea whose inertial frames correlate with those observed for perturbed orbiting objects, I'd like to hear about it. In layterms, turn off the engine and observe where your boat floats.

    Side note: Kudos for actually reading the link this time. I didn't think you would.

    You did say most ocean currents, right? Large scale longer circulation =! Most currents but nice try!

    As for the thermodynamics, its obvious you don't know what I'm talking about. You made that quite clear.

    I completely understand your point. However, when you get to that extreme, do you honestly consider it the notion of a celestial body, which is what a satellite is by definition as well?
    Atmospheric density is a gradient no? Here you imply that you have knowledge of a cutoff density, above which consideration of special perturbations comes into play. Do share.
    Consider when you stop reading pressure by lbs/inch, bar, etc. and start reading what vacuums are read in. Torr.
    Hint: For purposes of this argument, providing a link to any published study would clinch it for me.
    Not that important. You guys can call it a satellite all you want. take the hollow win if you like.
    Side note: Kudos for actually reading the link this time. I didn't think you would.
    I generally do read the links. Sometimes I don't take the time, generally because I already spend too much time here. I often bring up parts I think others miss in an article, or have a different view on what's said, and it's funny when people think I didn't read it the times I do.

    You live in AZ? My girlfriend is talking about moving to a suburb of Phoenix. Forget the name, but it's just SW of Sun City. If she moves, and I visit her there, do I need to prove to you she's black?

    Oooops...

    Deleted the ship part. However, a ship will follow the currents until it gets beached. the same as those balloons, though they are given power to navigate also. Real man made satellites on use power rarely to maintain a given orbit. have you read about the stratospheric satellite sails, control, etc?

    ...Again... SAILS!
