The agency then offered a singular solution: Rather than ratify the Kyoto Protocol
on climate change or reduce
carbon dioxide emissions, Americans should
simply adapt.
Now, scientists at Rensselaer are turning these atmospheric assumptions
on their heads with findings that prove the conditions
on early Earth were
simply not conducive to the formation of this type of atmosphere, but rather to an atmosphere dominated by the more oxygen - rich compounds found within our current atmosphere — including water,
carbon dioxide, and sulfur
dioxide.
As I wrote recently, «Given that methane, molecule for molecule, has at least 20 times the heat - trapping properties of
carbon dioxide, it's important to get a handle
on whether these are new releases, the first foretaste of some great outburst from thawing sea - bed stores of the gas, or
simply a longstanding phenomenon newly observed.»
Namely, that the greenhouse effect
simply does not exist and OLR is not absorbed by that cloud of
carbon dioxide on its way to outer space.
There is no systematic causal relationship between
carbon dioxide levels and climate change
simply because the greenhouse conjecture is not based
on real world physics.
The basic physics of greenhouse gases are
simply not one of those things that are not well - enough understood and if you don't understand how greenhouse gases work you can't possibly move
on to any reasonable debate about other phenomena which can and do (IMO) largely negate the effects of increasing greenhouse gases and leave us in a situation where the modest increase in
carbon dioxide has vast beneficial effect by warming the planet at high latitudes where warming is welcome, not warming it at low latitudes where it is already warm enough, increasing the growth rate of green plants, and decreasing the water needs of green plants at the same time.
In addition to being used to
simply produce cyclic carbonates, North believes it could also be retrofitted
on coal - fired plants: «If our catalyst could be employed at the source of high - concentration CO2 production, for example in the exhaust stream of a fossil - fuel power station, we could take out the
carbon dioxide, turn it into a commercially - valuable product and at the same time eliminate the need to store waste CO2.»
Pourbaix concedes that
carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas and therefore could have an impact
on global temperature but insists his pipeline is
simply bringing supply to demand.
