Brad, do you know a fellow named Ben? I think the two of you might get along rather well.

So uh, say this whole global warming thing is a huge fraud.

What would be the point?

"To make money for Al Gore. Duh. Haven't you been paying attention to Brad's rantings for like 3 months now?"

Oh okay. It requires one to believe in the whole puppet master thing.

So you have no explanation of why YOUR "scientific" paper fails under remedial science knowledge.

@Brad,

What is the purpose of the global warming conspiracy?

Muertos:
Your paper “Proof Of Atmospheric Greenhouse Effect” by Arthur Smith is making a sphere rotating on a single axis as a representation for the Earth. Anyone that has taken High School science classes knows that the Earth is more like an oblate spheroid that obliquely rotates (tilted axis). The difference between the equatorial and polar radii is almost 22km. The Sun’s radiation output, while relatively stable, does vary considerably on a daily basis. The equipment to monitor the Sun’s output is sparse and has not been around for a great length of time. The axial tilt and wobble further complicate the calculations. His calculations for surface area that are absorbing radiation are flawed due to his simplification and the ensuing calculations are then also flawed. So he cannot have calculated an accurate “average temperature” of the Earth. This is one way your paper fails with remedial science knowledge.
Mr. Smith states “some layer above the planet must be absorbing or reflecting a significant fraction of the outgoing infrared radiation. i.e. the atmosphere must not be transparent to infrared.” Since it has been known for decades that CO2 absorbs frequencies around the 2.7, 4.3, and 15 µm bandwidths, it should be pretty straightforward to find this layer. Since we have been using radio and microwave signals for decades now and still have not found this layer yet, it doesn’t look likely that we will. Another way your paper fails with remedial science knowledge.
Mr. Smith states this layer will have its own temperature but he assumes the specific temperature is not relevant because they assume the heat capacity is low so it remains radiatively balanced through the day. The ozone layer which filters ultra violet radiation is a known layer of gas in the upper atmosphere and it has a heat capacity that brings its temperature up to around freezing. If the CO2 layer is so thin that it has a low heat capacity, then it can’t reflect anything significantly.

If you cannot see these obvious flaws then you are being intentionally obtuse, quite ignorant of science knowledge, or a brainwashed moron. Judging by your statements and demeanor, I suspect a combination of all three. There are flaws that are less remedial like the effect of cloud cover but, you remain focused on emotional arguments like consensus and ad hominem attacks to be able to comment on them.

The AGW theory relating to CO2 is flawed. The IPCC’s predictions have never panned out. Al Gore (Manbearpig) is the butt of jokes because he has taken the AGW predictions to extreme levels beyond what even the IPCC says. Thankfully, the popularity of AGW is falling so we won’t have to put up with the nonsense much longer. Face it, when the liberal comediennes like Stewart and Colbert are making jokes about it and Penthouse publishes an article against it, you’ve lost your popularity base. Society owes a big debt of gratitude to whoever released the CRU emails and documents, whether it was a hacker, whistleblower, or just some clerk complying with FOI requests.
Have a nice day.

Matt:
You said you weren’t going to try to find common ground with me and that suits me fine. There is no global warming conspiracy. AGW is just a poor scientific theory that some have managed to profit from, most notably Al Gore, commodity brokers, energy providers, and some governmental bodies.
On another note, you are a hate-filled ass. I would tell you to go fuck yourself but, you seem quite accomplished at it already so you don‘t need the practice.

Edward:
I’ve tried to keep it clean but, seeing how long you allow sophomoric tags to remain, I see its just a suggestion.

I don't have the time to read every tiny thing people put on my forums; I let people join under the assumption that we can act like grown ups and take things like grown ups too, if someone says something we don't like.

Yea okay Brad... whatever.

Shhh, just let Brad think what he wants... I think the lad is a bit shpecial.

I know I'd sacrifice my integrity for Al Gore. He is a hunk.

Brad, we now have an article up on global warming denial. I put Gerlich and Tscheuschner in just for you. :) Considering that much of the research that went into the article was honed in the course of this debate with you, I'd like to thank you for the contribution to ConspiracyScience.com.

A lying sack of shit? I do love it when truthers call others liars, its so ironic.
