There are basically two types of lines, those produced by collisions between the atoms or ions and the electrons in the surrounding gas, which are called collision lines, and which are very bright for elements such as oxygen, nitrogen and neon, and lines which are produced when ions capture free electrons, which are called recombination lines, and which are bright only for those gases with the highest abundances in the interstellar medium: hydrogen and helium.

I've come to Bumpass Hell with David Deamer, a biochemist from the University of California, Santa Cruz, to watch him run an experiment recreating one of the most important episodes in the history of life: when carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and phosphorus came together in the primordial soup to form amino acids, DNA and the rest of life's building blocks.

By the way, this effect is most prevalent when the particles that do the scattering are smaller than the wavelength of light, as is the case for the nitrogen and oxygen molecules in the atmosphere.

The researchers tested a variety of solutions containing the soil bacteria Geobacter sulfurreducens and Thiobacillus denitrificans, which thrive by eating acetate (an organic compound that makes vinegar sour) and nitrate (a negatively - charged molecule of biologically available nitrogen and oxygen), respectively, when they can find a spare electron or two.

When they reach Earth they react with the oxygen and nitrogen in the atmosphere, producing new particles.

When the star's ultraviolet radiation strikes the gases in the nebula, they heat up, giving out radiation ranging in wavelength from blue — emitted by hot oxygen in the bubble near the star — to yellow — emitted by hot hydrogen and nitrogen.

Aside from the obvious hazards (like frostbite, burns, and eye injuries), asphyxiation can occur when nitrogen vapors reduce the amount of oxygen in an enclosed room.

When sunlight passes through the atmosphere, the blue wavelengths are scattered more widely by the oxygen and nitrogen molecules, and more blue comes to our eyes.

Just some basics: When organic molecules (carbon, oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen) are broken down to release energy and recycled, the hydrogen carrying electrons need to be neutralized; otherwise the entire process is acidified, like sour milk.

Just as there is no «33 °C warming by greenhouse gases from the minus 18 °C it would be without them» — when the real blanket which slows heat loss is reinstated — the heavy voluminous fluid ocean atmosphere of real gas, mainly nitrogen and oxygen, and when the Water Cycle is reinstated.

That's how they get their riduculous arguments that the 1 - 4 % water and trace carbon dioxide «act as a blanket raising the temp 33 °C», when the real blanket keeping the Earth warm is oxygen and nitrogen and nitrogen.

The heat from the ground is COLLECTED by oxygen & nitrogen; reason when is windy, cooling is more efficient - > that heat makes them to expand and on the way up, to waste that heat.

It's at this tiny electronic transition level that visible gets bounced around all over the sky when the electrons of nitrogen and oxygen absorb it and then spit it out.

Because AGWSF fisics is fake there is no internal coherence in it, for example: if «all electromagnetic energy is the same and all creates heat when absorbed» then AGWSF fisics doesn't have any answer to the real world physics understanding of how visible light is reflected / scattered in the atmosphere which is by real technical absorption of visible light by the electrons of the molecules of nitrogen and oxygen, hence our blue sky.

Bounced around like balls in a pinball machine by the molecules of nitrogen and oxygen when their electrons absorb the tiny bits of light and spit them back out again.

But of course, when it's pointed out that not all absorption of electromagnetic radiation creates heat, for example in photosynthesis when it converts to chemical energy and not heat energy and in the atmosphere where absorption of visible light by the electrons of the molecules of nitrogen and oxygen which spit out the same non-thermal energy that went in, this is ignored.

This means that when oxygen and / or nitrogen molecules join together to form larger multimer molecules, the average amount of latent energy they can store will decrease.

But pollution also covers hundreds of chemicals which are fine or even beneficial at low levels but which if released in large quantities or in problematic circumstances cause «harm» — like phosphorus (grows your veges but also leads to toxic cyanobacterial blooms which kill cattle), nitrogen (grows crops kills many native species of plants and promotes weed growth costing farmers), copper (used as an oxygen carrier by gastropods but in high concentrations kills the life in sediments which feed fish), hormones like oestrogen (essential for regulating bodies but in high concentrations confuse reproductive cycles especially with marine life) or maybe molasses from a sugar mill (good for rum but when dumped into east coast estuaries used to cause oxygen sag in estuaries leading to massive fish kills).

They constantly repeat as a scratched record:» climate sensitivity — climate sensitivity» — but are scared to acknowledge; the sensitivity of oxygen & nitrogen in expanding / shrinking in change of temperature + the speeding of» vertical winds» when gets warmer close to the ground - and what's the temp up there, where they expand when warmed extra.

Had no idea what I meant when I asked when carbon dioxide diffused was it by sticking molecules of nitrogen and oxygen together to form a balloon?
