Using as examples what he saw as the crusaders» thuggish disruption
of the
equilibrium between civilized Islamic and Eastern Christian lands
of the eastern Mediterranean, and their destruction
of Byzantium, which they had originally set
out to assist, thereby allowing the Ottoman Turks to subjugate half
of Christendom, Runciman sought to show how civilization — any civilization — is imperiled once high culture, reason, learning, and moderation are challenged by violent greed and ignorance.
Voltaire's poem is not a challenge to Christian faith; it inveighs against a variant
of the «deist» God, one who has simply ordered the world exactly as it now is, and who balances
out all its eventualities in a precise
equilibrium between felicity and morality.
Nothing can travel faster than the speed
of light, so there is no way heat radiation could have travelled
between the two horizons to even
out the hot and cold spots created in the big bang and leave the thermal
equilibrium we see now.
There is no surprise that the CO2 in the atmosphere winds up partially in the oceans, nor that the amount
of CO2 going into or coming
out of the oceans varies in time and space — that's simple
equilibrium chemistry
between the liquid (that is, dissolved) and gaseous phases, and does explain part
of the variability about the long term rising trend.
You state in the response to # 10, ``... There is no surprise that the CO2 in the atmosphere winds up partially in the oceans, nor that the amount
of CO2 going into or coming
out of the oceans varies in time and space — that's simple
equilibrium chemistry
between the liquid (that is, dissolved) and gaseous phases...» Are the buffers a part
of simple
equilibrium chemistry, and where can I go to read up on this and how it pertains to the Models.
Once the appropriate planetary temperature increase has been set by the delay in transmission through the atmosphere then
equilibrium is restored
between radiant energy in and radiant energy
out at the top
of the atmosphere.
Over the long haul if OHC stops rising the lower ocean will be sucking excess heat
out of upper ocean as
equilibrium between them is slowly reestablished.
What I don't see is the relationship
between an Earth that is roughly in
equilibrium and one that is badly
out of it.
If it can not warm the oceans and yet the radiative balance
between solar energy in and radiative energy
out has to be maintained then all that is left is for it to be ejected faster to space in order to maintain the radiative balance and if that happens then no change in the
equilibrium temperature
of the Earth can occur.
Far longer than the residence time, which has nothing in common with the e-fold decay rate»... ANSWER: This presupposes there is a global
equilibrium but the stock / (yearly absorption) analysis shown in truths n ° 3, 4, 17 avoids all the pitfalls and assumptions
of an
equilibrium between absorption and
out - gassing.
QUOTE: «As shown on figure 17 - D the regions for absorption and
out - gassing are separate; there is no «global»
equilibrium between the atmosphere and the ocean; carbon absorbed tens
of years ago at high latitudes is resurfacing in up - wellings; carbon absorbed by plants months to centuries ago is degassed by soils Sorry, there is a fundamental lack
of knowledge
of dynamic systems here: as long as the total
of the CO2 influxes is the same as the total
of the CO2 outfluxes, nothing happens in the atmosphere.
As shown on figure 17 - D the regions for absorption and
out - gassing are separate; there is no «global»
equilibrium between the atmosphere and the ocean; carbon absorbed tens
of years ago at high latitudes is resurfacing in upwellings; carbon absorbed by plants months to centuries ago is degassed by soils.
This stock / (yearly absorption) analysis avoids all the pitfalls
of the assumed
equilibrium between absorption and
out - gassing that is postulated by all the compartment models with constant inputs and outputs that lead to a set
of linear equation and by Laplace transform to expressions like the Bern or Hamburg formulas; there is no
equilibrium because as said more CO2 implies more green plants eating more and so on; the references in note 19 show even James Hansen and Francey (figure 17 F) admits (now) that their carbon cycle is wrong!
That flow
of energy prevents any
equilibrium ever being reached
between the components
of the system because the
equilibrium is set by the rates
of flow
of energy in and energy
out and not by absolute temperature.
The short term proportionality
between temp and rate
of change
of SST shows 1 degree deviation from
equilibrium conditions causes 8 ppm / year
of CO2
out - gassing from the oceans.
There was a perfect correlation
of genotypes (r = 1.00, p < 0.001)
between samples which suggests that rs2066713 was not
out of Hardy - Weinberg
equilibrium due to genotyping error.
