    WC is entirely happy with his ignorance and has no problem displaying it proudly. He's basically the Tod Akin of the forum. He rather be wrong than educated, so I'm not sure why do you guys even bother, tbh...

    You've been told already. The rest is just you being the usual ing idiot. *THAT* is why they shouldn't waste their time.

    The problem is that nothing they said matters.

    Therefore, show me. Show me I'm wrong.

    What is said that matters?

    Would somebody please, take one point that matters to the calculation, and show why it's wrong. Just one. Don't bury it with other . Make it clear please.

    Its in this thread. The fact that you can understand where it is while every other visitor to the thread can see it doesn't do much for your stance that you're not a ing idiot.

    Well, here are two more guys that say you are an idiot. That makes 5 so far. Zero for the "WC is not an idiot" team.

    Cannot show why my numbers are bad, but focuses on unimportant stuff instead.


    Yeah, I guess consideration of the spectrum of photons incident on the earth after being perturbed by asteroid dust isn't important to this discussion after all. Thanks for helping as all see the light WC. Pun intended.


    I'm real disappointed in Agloco's apparent lack of intelligence. I thought he was smarter.
    So am I tbh. I was succored into a discussion of thermodynamics with the likes of you. Makes me feel as if I owe everyone an apology for junking up the forum with 2 pages of your crap.

    Agloco.

    You still never answered my question, and I can't help but think what ever you see, is something I know is wrong. Like I said, not arguments had any merit outside of minor effects.

    This dust cloud. Just how do you think it will alter the spectra enough to matter? It seems to me that it will reduce all wavelengths equally. Heat up some, and then radiate a very weak IR in all directions, including back to the sun. Not enough to worry about. How am I wrong here?

    I addressed the fact the most the radiative changes in flow patterns will be 98.3% of what they were. I acknowledged not all are near linear, but the primary effects are near linear to input. Just not linear to other variables. Because of this, the final forcing will be about 98.3% as before the dish cloud. The total radiative forcing in the atmosphere is about 520 watts/sq meter, and about 390 watts/sq meter of downward forcing. If you wish to only use this 390 number, 1.7% changes it by about 6.6 watts/sq meter. Four times the warming the AGW crowd claims. This is my concern. This 1.7% ends up being so much more than needed.

    Again, I ask for what is specifically wrong in my assessment. I have not seen anything that affects the primary factor I speak of, and the lesser factors account for maybe 1/5th of the changes.

    Trust me.

    What ever you guys are laughing about, it is over shadowed by the 1.7% change alone.

    It's not like anyone is forgetting the posts he and I have made. You can sit there and pretend like that hasn't been asked if it makes you feel better.

    We both are waiting for a justification in using a simplified genous blackbody in equilibrium to describe the thermodynamic behavior of the Earth.

    He has been asking for a justification for that from the beginning as have I.

    Once you get past that we can address your other assumptions/methods but that is an excellent starting point and its one ing thing for your simple mind to have to deal with.

    Respond to it, toolbag.

    I am not using it. If you read carefully, I assumed it might be a mistake the authors used. I only pointed out the end result of 1 degree that the 1.7% would make if that was their thought. This is based on the difference that the earth would be 255 K without an atmosphere and this number changes by about 1 degree from a 1.7% change. Emissivity doesn't matter in this because it cancels itself out between the two numbers if it remains constant.
    He has been asking for a justification for that from the beginning as have I.
    Because like always, you brought up factors that simply do not matter. we are not going though any state changes, all other factors are equal and cancel each other out, except at very low levels. The primary factor will be linked proportionally to the 1.7%.
    Once you get past that we can address your other assumptions/methods but that is an excellent starting point and its one ing thing for your simple mind to have to deal with.

    Maybe I just see no need to calculate variables that effectively cancel each other out.

    Again, i ask. What specifically do you disagree with in my assessment, so i can address it. Not of your is sticking in my view.

    Can you provide an example of the correct calculation for us? What leads you believe that blackbody calculations were used?

    Also, if you could explain the basic science behind radiative forcing and blackbodies with an emphasis on how and why any differences could impact calculations.

    I don't need an essay, just 5 or 6 sentences to explain these things to the less informed. Thanks in advance.
    If I thought this was a serious question other than you being an ankle biter, or if I thought others understood, I might take your serious. Personally, I question if you are as good at science as you claim. You have no interest in bringing such scientific knowledge into this discussion. You only try to shut those of us down you disagree with. You have the proper educational skill set to take any misuse of terminology on my part and use against me. I do not trust that you will seek the truth, but rather focus on any misplaced words I will undoubtedly use.

    I will say this. Black body heat is a fourth power calculation. Direct surface temperature when equalized to radiating back out is increased, but not linear like watts (joules, etc) vs. temperature normally do. In I increase my radiant energy by 1% (1.01) then my surface temperature is increased by 0.249% (1.01^0.25). This same upward radiation goes back to 1% higher. 1.00249^4 = 1.01.

    These percentages used are fine for non atmospheric celestial bodies. Reducing the suns energy to 98.3% hitting the earth changes the black body temperature to 99.97 percent before greenhouse warming. A -18 C changes to -19 C (255k * 0.983^0.25 = 254k). Only a 1 degree change, but this is before any changes of forcing by greenhouse gasses, where temperature is proportional to watts. The power traveling and heating the atmosphere is changed by about the same percentage. I find contradictory numbers for the total (not flux) radiative forcing of greenhouse gasses, but it is somewhere in the neighborhood of 325 watts/sq meter. I think we can agree on giving this a +/- 25%. In this feedback system, and yes, greenhouse gas forcing is technically a feedback system... the amplified effect is proportional to the source, being the sun. When you reduce this 325 watts/square meter to 98.3%, then it is now about 319 watts/sq meter. A reduction of 6 watts/square meter, which puts us far less than any anthropogenic forcing adds.
    Liar. I didn't say magnitudes, and neither did you. I questioned if they misplaced a decimal point.

    Can we have an honest debate, or are you going to spin lies?

    You still didn't say how. I think that's because you do not understand.

    Now I did make an error, and edited a post. I said that the 1.7% reduction changes blackbody temperature by 0.9997. Typo... (0.983^0.25 = 0.9967,) not 0.9997... I didn't make a mistake on the approximate 1 degree that changes. The earths temperature, however, cannot be calculated using black body formulas. Again that is a mistake I think they may have made, thinking they can cool the earth by 1 degree. The effect would be far greater, and the primary functional changes in the greenhouse gas response, will be a linear change. Yes, there are non linear responses as well, but they are too small to worry about.

    Now, what the 99.67% matters with, is the surface temperature with no atmosphere. I pointed out this makes for a 1 degree reduction, and one of my assumptions of what they did wrong:

    Now in misplacing a decimal, this again, was an assumption:

    "I'll bet" is not saying "I know."

    Don't you get it. I saw right away that 1.7% is too much. I assumed two possibilities. I never stated that these were the only possibilities. Now this reduction of 1.7% becomes 98.3%. I think what you, Fuzzy, and Manny are missing is that even though the increase in greenhouse gas forcing is nonlinear (primarily logarithmic) in respect to changes in gas levels, it is linear in respect to source input power, i.e.... the sun... Now I only mentioned the approximate forcing by greenhouse gasses of about 325 watt/sq meter. The total combination of the direct, indirect, and greenhouse gas warming is about 520 watts/sq meter. 98.3% of that is 511 watts. Their plan will probably reduce the total radiative forcing by about 9 watts/meter. Is this really their plan? Now it probably isn't enough to take up to an ice age, I didn't do any math before making that statement. It is still, a severe change, unless that is the level they think they need to combat.

    If you wish to claim I am wrong, then please explain. No more ankle biting please.
    For everyone else, here is what WC actually said. It should be clear that the only calculations that actually did were on the basis of the dumbed down thermodynamics as has been explained. Since that time he has been arguing back and forth about his failure in napkin math. Whoops on the decimal point. So not only did he do those calculations using the dumbed down version but he also defended his arithmetic up in doing so.

    magnitudes don't matter.

    Now he is saying that he did not do this but would should be clear from reading the above, he clearly did and much more.


    dis·sem·ble (d-smbl)
    v. dis·sem·bled, dis·sem·bling, dis·sem·bles
    v.tr.
    1. To disguise or conceal behind a false appearance. See Synonyms at disguise.
    2. To make a false show of; feign.
    v.intr.
    To disguise or conceal one's real nature, motives, or feelings behind a false appearance.
    i think it will be found that the above is the case.

    Now what i will do is ask the idiot what his other calculations are and what formulas he is using to justify his current stance of "I don't have to consider those variables because they cancel each other out." I think we will get the same treatment as before in asking what formulas he was using to justify his initial position ie never show the formulas or logic and posturing.

    So:

    Dumbass, please justify the comment about the variables canceling each other out.

    What i am curious to know is how he figures a 4th order polynomial is a linear operation.


    What do line mean?

    His is so full of ignorant fail it's sad. I reread his stuff and I can understand why he ws diagnosed with a learning disability. you can see where he is limited in anything beyond cause and effect relationships. i wonder if he even understands quadratics.

    Its just stupid that he's saying they ed up and he has no idea how to do the calculations himself to figure out the Earth's temp. misplaced decimal. Go ahead and misplace a decimal in a 4th root and see how that turns out. orders of magnitude
