The True and Simple Physics Being Ignored by All in the Climate Propaganda Wars
I have submitted the following short comment to the tallbloke site, in response to yet another internet post of alternative theory that ignores my definitive corrections to the ridiculous consensus theories of "global warming" (there is none, only a noisy and fraudulently adjusted "global temperature" record):
Too involved, and comes at the truth (of the temperature-governing lapse rate structure, due to the weight of the atmosphere itself), that I have already explained, and demonstrated clearly with my Venus/Earth atmospheric temperatures comparison, through a maze of bad thinking ("adiabatic" is unnecessary and meaningless, compared to the utterly simple physics of the Standard Atmosphere model; and there simply is no "radiation forcing" affecting atmospheric temperatures).
Nikolov still hangs onto the terms used in the entirely false consensus "climate science"...and you are lemmings to follow. I am the one who insists that the underlying, unchanging structure of tropospheric temperatures (the "lapse rate") are maintained by CONDUCTION, not either radiation or convection, because it is just the innumerable jostlings of air molecules, in the hydrostatic condition of the lower atmosphere, that distributes, unwaveringly and precisely, both the pressure and thence the temperature (due, yes, to the "gas laws", which you managed to get in there, without properly emphasizing how simple is "incident solar radiation + hydrostatic atmosphere + gas laws = atmospheric temperatures", with the surface of the Earth only a base for the weighty atmosphere).
So there is no "adiabatic lapse rate", and only the conduction, throughout the troposphere, of incident solar energy, directly absorbed by the massive, hydrostatic atmosphere. All my discoveries, and all from the definitive Venus/Earth comparison, which is universally ignored, yet which precisely confirms the Standard Atmosphere.

Have you cosidered that gravitation continuosly press atmospheric gases. That makes atmosphere warmer than it should be. That is lapse rate.
ReplyDeleteYou do not understand what causes the "lapse rate" temperature gradient in the troposphere, which depends upon the pressure gradient, and you confuse "compressed" (as an unchanging condition) with "pressing" (as a continuing action). The troposphere has an equilibrium -- non-changing -- pressure and temperature condition, which is experimentally identifiable as the hydrostatic condition, where the pressure at any level is just the weight of the atmosphere above that level.
DeleteThis imposes a quite simple physics upon the lower atmosphere, going all the way back to the introductory physics of calorimetry (the measurement of heat energy by the work it performs).
In the hydrostatic condition, one can investigate how the temperature must vary as a function of altitude, by looking at the potential energy of a small volume of air at a given level, and how it changes with a small change in altitude. The potential energy is just ρgh, where ρ is the mass per unit volume, g is the gravitational acceleration, and h is the altitude. Just above that small element of air is another, whose potential energy is ρg(h+Δh). The difference in potential energy, ρg Δh, is by the basic calorimetry equation, -ρc ΔT (a positive change in altitude gives a negative change in temperature), with c the effective specific heat of the air. So ΔT/Δh = -g/c. So the temperature gradient, or lapse rate, is just a constant, -g/c. There is no continuous compressing of the atmosphere, it has already been compressed to its equilibrium, hydrostatic condition.
I explained this simple physics years ago. Unfortunately, the "global warming" non-debate -- actually part of a WAR, that I call "The War of the Insane Left" -- leaves non-physicists high and dry and without a correct physics leg to stand on. However, I do not take political or ideological comments, so no more here on that subject.
