Many people think if that is as kind of silly or just game playing, but it turns out that these ideas are at the roots, these ideas about self - reference are also at the roots of the self - reproduction and are at the roots of how living beings reproduce themselves; because the same mechanism of self - reference has to be used in order for an object, the machine or a molecule, to reproduce itself.

I am still a bit puzzled about the CO2 to N2 energy transfer being equal and opposite the CO2 molecule is outnumbered 25 000 to 1 by the other molecules in the atmosphere N2 the largest then O2 and H2O so the chance of the CO2 molecule colliding with a different molecule is 25 000 to 1 the chance of another molecule colliding with a CO2 is 1 in 25 000 but the other molecules will collide with each other thus diluting the energy so I do not think the equal and opposite argument stands.

Since to me (and many scientists, although some wanted a lot more corroborative evidence, which they've also gotten) it makes absolutely no sense to presume that the earth would just go about its merry way and keep the climate nice and relatively stable for us (though this rare actual climate scientist pseudo skeptic seems to think it would, based upon some non scientific belief — see second half of this piece), when the earth changes climate easily as it is, climate is ultimately an expression of energy, it is stabilized (right now) by the oceans and ice sheets, and increasing the number of long term thermal radiation / heat energy absorbing and re radiating molecules to levels not seen on earth in several million years would add an enormous influx of energy to the lower atmosphere earth system, which would mildly warm the air and increasingly transfer energy to the earth over time, which in turn would start to alter those stabilizing systems (and which, with increasing ocean energy retention and accelerating polar ice sheet melting at both ends of the globe, is exactly what we've been seeing) and start to reinforce the same process until a new stases would be reached well after the atmospheric levels of ghg has stabilized.

I agree that the 2nd Law has been misapplied, all you've got is gas molecules and photons milling about randomly, they don't stop and think what «The 2nd Law» expects them to do, some photons from the atmosphere DO get absorbed by the surface, making it warmer than it would otherwise be.

Pekka, I don't think you are disputing that in an adiabatic convective profile, the temperature at higher altitudes is colder, so the higher molecules are slower, and are continually moving up and down without losing or gaining diabatic energy but with their temperature changing, so I think this argument is about whether the convective profile is an equilibrium profile or not.

«It's daunting to think through how a company — whose valuation and competencies, infrastructure, inherent skills, history is all based on large scale projects with long time horizons and massive capital investments — can shift to a new reality that's going to be decentralized, based on more modest capital investments and shorter time horizons, and is about electrons rather than molecules.»
