President Biden (or whomever controls his X account) wrote this today too:

“Anyone who willfully denies the impacts of climate change is condemning the American people to a dangerous future.”

So what’s his definition of denying “impacts of CC?” Does it mirror the Orwellian nonsense pushed by CCDH?

“The good thing about science is that it's true whether or not you believe in it.” ― Neil DeGrasse Tyson

Believe = religion

Think = opinion

Know = science

What I know.

What do you know that’s different?

Published (SubStack, X, MSN, Google, PaPundits, et, al.)

Peer reviewed (the world)

And undisputed (so far)

ISR ToA = 1,368 W/m^2.

From the Sun’s perspective Earth is a flat, discular, pin head.

To average that discular energy over a spherical surface divide by 4.

(disc = π r^2, sphere = 4 π r^2)

1,368/4=342.

(Not even close to how the Earth heats & cools + this is Fourier’s model which even Pierrehumbert says is no good.)

Deduct 30% albedo.

(Clouds, ice, snow created by GHE/water vapor.)

342*(1.0-0.3)=240.

Deduct 80 due to atmospheric absorption.

(If this were so ToA would be warmer than surface.)

Net/net of 160 arrives at surface.

Per LoT 1 160 is ALL!! that can leave.

17 sensible + 80 latent + 63 (by remaining diff) LWIR = 160

Balance is closed, done, over, fini, “Ttthhhat’s ALL folks!!”

So where does this second source of surface upwelling heat flow of 396 come from?

396 is the S-B BB calculation for any surface at 16 C, 289 K, that serves as the denominator of the emissivity ratio: 63/396=0.16.

It is a theoretical calculation.

It is not real.

It is a duplicate “extra.”

It violates LoT 1.

396 up – 2nd 63 LWIR (How convenient.) = 333 “back” from cold to hot w/o work violating LoT 2.

Not that it matters.

Erase the 396/333/63 GHE “extra” energy loop from the graphic and the balance holds true.

IR instruments do not measure power flux, they are calibrated to report a referenced temperature and infer power flux assuming the target is a BB. (Read the manual.)

16 C + BB = 396 & incorrect.

16 C + 0.16 = 63 & correct.

There is no GHE.

There is no GHG warming.

There is no CAGW,

The consensus is wrong – Aahhgain!!!

Disagree?

Bring science which is not appeals to authority, off topic esoteric Wiki handwavium and ad hominem gas lighting and insults.

Well I guess the good news is that if this is how these folks want to define “Climate Change Denial” it will encompass like 85+% of people. So the words will no longer have any meaning. I stopped taking them seriously about 5 years ago, and the more shrill their criticism the more unhinged the NGO-Industrial complex will become, and the more support they will lose.

Call them the professional managerial class - pretending to support the working class, while undermining working class interests at every turn

Drivin’ that train, high on cocaine, Casey Jones better watch your speed. Somehow this article evoked those lines and the story doesn’t end well for most of us.
