 thisnamecantbetaken says: Professors Peter Adams and Jeff Pierce did a bunch of things that those throwing around the solar excuse didn't: a) They did detailed work analyzing the actual effects of such activity b) They actually understood what such effects would really even be c) They rigorously applied scientific procedures to this research, constructed computer models, and would have reported the results either away d) They spent many, many years earning PhDs in scientific research and the title of "Professor." We have to say, d) is our favorite. "This paper is the final nail in the coffin for people who would like to make the sun responsible for present global warming," Stefan Rahmstorf, a climate scientist at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany, told the journal Nature. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/scienceandtechnology/science/sciencenews/3300177/Sun-not-responsible-for-climate-change.html There has been a lot of talk about global warming and climate change, but there are a lot of misconceptions as many people don’t understand the science involved. First off, global warming is not caused by the sun. Heat can’t travel through a vacuum — that’s why thermoses are surrounded with a vacuum (in fact, an archeological dig in Egypt turned up a 3,000 year old thermos and the coffee inside was still hot). Instead, earth is warmed by the hot magma inside it. This of course leads to the question, “What happens if we anger the earth?” Well, it tries to cook us all to death through global warming. Thus we all need to work together to keep from angering the earth. Next time you’re outside,... That's not true, Clip-On: Have you never felt the heat of the sun on your face? Heat travels through a vacuum by infrared radiation (light with a longer wavelength than the human eye can see). The Sun (and anything warm) is constantly emitting infrared, and the Earth absorbs it and turns the energy into atomic and molecular motion, or heat. What you don't have in a vacuum, is heat transfer via convection (The direct transfer of heat from particle to particle.) http://helios.gsfc.nasa.gov/qa_sp_ht.html my dear clip on tie "Next time you’re outside, hug the earth." do we really have to go outside? "Tell it you appreciate how it keeps you from floating off into space with its gravity." and thank it for atmospheric pressure, too, so we don't explode outa our skin.... will English work? " And try to refrain from jumping — it doesn’t like that. " WTF! CLIP! WHAT ARE YOU SMOKING?! (and,btw, my vacuum cleaner does generate heat...) "global warming is not caused by the sun. Heat can’t travel through a vacuum — that’s why thermoses are surrounded with a vacuum" So its nothing to do with the reflective inside then  And how does such a theory explain the fact that the other planets are also warming then? |
