    For everyone else, here is what WC actually said.
    You afraid people cannnot decide for themselves, so you have to tell them what to think?
    It should be clear that the only calculations that actually did were on the basis of the dumbed down thermodynamics as has been explained.
    The only calculations I made was extension of percentage changes. I was not doing anything with thermodynamics, but with watts.
    Since that time he has been arguing back and forth about his failure in napkin math.
    You inability to understand is not my failure.
    Whoops on the decimal point.
    You still don't understand.

    I said as an assumption, before doing any math:
    I'll bet they misplaced a decimal or used black body calculations instead.
    This is clearly thinking out load of what they possibly did. I never stated any such thing as thinking it was factual.

    So not only did he do those calculations using the dumbed down version but he also defended his arithmetic up in doing so.
    If you mean the fourth power math, I was only explaining how the changes work. I was not stating any specific values except that -IF- they were using blackbody math, that 1.7% would make about a 1 degree change. Go to any online black body calculator. Set the emissivity and other factors where ever you like and compare 254 K and 255 K. You will see a 1.56% difference in emitted radiance. When I did that calculation, I calculated for from 100% to 98.3%, and got just over a 1.09 degree change. I didn't have to use the whole formulation to do so.
    magnitudes don't matter.
    Yes, magnitude absolutely matters. Again, my thinking out loud was that they possibly misplaced a decimal point, and again... idiot... I said that before I did any calculations. I did not say they did. I even stated before this was an assumption I made before doing any calculation, but your simple mind apparently cannot comprehend that.

    Did you ever ask if I believe that? No. And FYI... I don't, and never did. I only had an open mind to the possibility.
    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."
    Do you understand what parts are linear and what parts are not? I was applying the 1.7% to the nearly linear parts. The nonlinear parts do not matter because they are either really small, or because we are not changing the variables that affect the larger ones. We are not change CO2 levels for example, which would require a complex and primarily logarithmic function.

    Reduce the incoming solar energy by 1.7%... of the same spectra... This reduces almost all radiative numbers by very close to 1.7% as well. It is just that simple. If you disagree, show me where I am wrong.

    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.
    Then ask someone who is applying it to my assessments of the radiative changes. I most certainly am not.

    No one really cares about the assumptions of someone who's completely unqualified to make an assessment to begin with.
    Like you?

    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
    That's not what I am saying. Are you really that dumb to think so?

    It's obvious you three stooges don't want a serious discussion. No matter what I say, you respond to something else.

    smh

    fourth power math

    How about you graph a 4th order polynomial with an coefficient you want and tell me if it looks like a line to you. it. I'll do it.



    Now which one do you think is fourth order and which one do you think is linear?

    You really have no idea what you are talking about. I slammed you about not knowing about linearity a few months back and ever since you have been trying to apply it and demonstrating very clearly that it is beyond your scope.

    Because you keep acting like the phenomenon is linear when it's not.

    You don't use the dumbed down version nor the linear version that you assert because you suck at thermodynamics.

    (4πR2 ) σTe4 = (1 - a) πR2So

    That is a simplified version. At least it tries to consider amongst other things, emissivity and boltzman's constant even if it simplifies the steady state using a disk.

    Now where do you think you went wrong?

    I didn't go wrong because I an not converting watts to degrees.

    You simply do not understand thermodynamics. At all. As Agloco stated, you cannot just throw out plank's constant or the boltzman's constant because youre too stupid to understand it.

    I'm not throwing them out. I am pointing out the radiative value changes only. Thermodynamics doesn't need to be calculated.

    If I have a material that reflects 35% of a given set of radiative spectra, and I reduce the spectra by 1.7%, my material still reflects 35% of it.

    If I have a material that absorbs 70% of of the spectra that goes through it, and I reduce the power of this spectra by 1.7%, 70% of what I throw at is still absorbed.

    Do you dispute this?

    I will ask you three stooges once again.

    Does this make any sense to you?



    All these values change with incoming solar energy. As you change the incoming solar energy, most the percentages of each path remain the same, as long as the other variables don't change.

    LOL WHY must they remain the same????

    I can't wait to hear this argument.

    Uh, YES, I dispute this. This is exactly what Fuzzy is talking about. It is NOT linear. You are once again dumbing down to fit your simple understanding and its blatantly wrong. If this were the case we would not have ice ages on Earth from the mechanisms we do now.

    Agloco.
    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?
    You have no idea if asteroid dust would uniformly absorb photons across that same spectrum.

    And

    We know that the conts uent materials of asteriods do not absorb uniformly across the solar spectrum.

    A reasonable supposition, then, is that asteroid dust will likely not attenuate uniformly across the solar spectrum.

    Now answer my question about the Stefan-Boltzmann formulation please. What is implicit in using the integrated form of Plancks Law, and why would it matter in the scenario I outlined.

    I've basically walked you over to the dance floor, now it's time to see if you can waltz. The answer should be easy for you, seeing as it doesn't involve any decimals and such.

    It's a warp core of course.......

    Full of tropical fish. You can find it at the Radisson Blu in Berlin.

    I see. So the fish mediate the matter/anti-matter annihilation event. Very clever those Berliners!

    Spot on!!

    It's positively hypnotic, especially at night with the ambient lighting they use. There's also an elevator that goes into the middle of it for an immersing experience. I didn;t think to ask if you could dive around in it though. Doubtful, but that would be over the top imo.

    A scuba experience 1 mile from the Brandenburg Gate? Who would've thunk it?

    I'm working on a couple of projects with a jazz guitarist from Berlin. I'm due a trip over there. That's definitely on my must see list if I get over there!

    Where's PoopDeck when you need him?

    Quick someone start mentioning his list. I hear if you say it three times in front of a mirror by candle light, he appears and calls you out on logical fallacies.
