The takeaway is that if humanity stopped cranking out
greenhouse gases immediately, sea levels would still rise
for centuries before the
heat dissipates through Earth's atmosphere and into
space, says study co-author Susan Solomon, an atmospheric scientist at MIT.
Night - time is a chance
for heat to escape back out into
space, but the extra
greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are trapping ever more of it.
due to co2 we are already living in a
greenhouse.Whatever one does in that
greenhouse will remain in the
greenhouse.INDUSTRIOUS
HEAT will remain in the
greenhouse instead of escaping into outer
space; this is a far greater contributor to global warming than other factors and far more difficult to reduce without reducing economic activity.Like warm moist air from your mouth on cold mornings so melting antarctic ice will turn into cloud as it meets warm moist air from tropics the seas will not rise as antarctica is a huge cloud generator.A thick band of cloud around the earth will produce even temps accross the whole earth causing the wind to moderate even stop.WE should be preparing
for this possible scenario»
If one could see the IR light, an opaque atmosphere would make the pattern of emitted IR diffuse since only the IR from the upper levels of the atmosphere escape to
space after it has been absorbed and re-emitted by the
greenhouse gases (this of course depends on the wavelength of the IR and the absorption spectrum, but we can use this assumption
for heat loss integrated over the whole IR spectrum).
There's also a number of interesting applications in the evolution of Earth's atmosphere that branch off from the runaway
greenhouse physics,
for example how fast a magma - ocean covered early Earth ends up cooling — you can't lose
heat to
space of more than about 310 W / m2 or so
for an Earth - sized planet with an efficient water vapor feedback, so it takes much longer
for an atmosphere - cloaked Earth to cool off from impact events than a body just radiating at sigmaT ^ 4.
The essence of the
greenhouse effect is that the atmosphere inhibits energy loss (to
space) so that
for a given rate of solar energy input, the temperature of the surface has to be greater in order to allow the necessary amount of
heat to be lost per unit time.
Their container
for their empty
space atmosphere being the non-existant glass of their
greenhouse which prevents longwave infrared direct from the Sun entering, which is
heat radiation, and
for which they have substituted shortwave mainly visible light to
heat their imaginary Earth, impossible in the real world.
For maximum
space heating of the attached house, the
greenhouse space should have little thermal mass in order to provide a maximum of
heat to the house during the sunny period.
The
greenhouse gases are building up, making it harder
for the infrared
heat radiation of the earth to escape into
space.
Most of the buzz about solar is
for generating electricity, but much of our natural gas is used
for space and water
heating, when this is the easiest and cheapest way to use solar to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions and conserve the resource,
A good place
for the IPCC advocates to start would be the radiative
heating of a
space the size of a real
greenhouse.
Not only that, total saturation in the lower atmosphere is not a problem
for the
Greenhouse Effect: if the upper layers of the atmosphere remain unsaturated, they will still prevent
heat getting out into
space.
