First, we are getting lots of cold air.
I continue my campaign on the bizarre Pacific anomaly map.
We have this wonderful map, showing the big heat blob moving out of the equatorial belt. Lots of things are moving.
Then we have this photo-shop fake thing.
I think they spent too much money on Claude. There is no way this relates to actual temperatures. Since the noaa building has been fumigated, there is nobody to ask.
This is fun. Using the Gemini Pro, I conducted a fine thought experiment to see if the interference to heat transfer efficiency is affected by carbon dioxide. This would take money.
User prompt: Using the Scientific Method, the hypothesis is that the efficiency of heat energy leaving the surface of the earth is unaffected by concentrations of carbon dioxide, because of dominant convection. Design field experiments to address the hypothesis.
Response: To test whether the heat energy leaving Earth's surface is unaffected by carbon dioxide concentrations due to dominant convection, field experiments must measure all four components of the Surface Energy Balance:
Rn=H+LE+G+ΔS
where:
Under your hypothesis, any increase in downward longwave radiation (LWdown) caused by elevated carbon dioxide concentrations should be fully offset by adjustments in convective heat transport (H), keeping the overall surface cooling efficiency and equilibrium surface temperature (Ts) unchanged.
Objective: Measure real-time changes in surface heat fluxes (H, LE) and radiative components (Rn) under manipulated atmospheric CO2 levels in natural open-air conditions.
Objective: Eliminate artificial wind disturbance caused by enrichment fans by measuring steady-state surface energy transport across natural geogenic CO2 gradients (mofettes or volcanic degassing fields).
Objective: Isolate the contribution of convection by mechanically dampening or amplifying convective mixing while controlling carbon dioxide levels.
Experimental Metric | Outcome Supporting the Hypothesis | Outcome Refuting the Hypothesis |
Surface Temperature (Ts) | Ts remains constant as [CO2] increases, because convective flux (H) increases to evacuate excess thermal energy. | Ts increases measurably with rising [CO2], showing convection cannot fully dissipate the added radiative energy. |
Sensible Heat Flux (H) | H scales directly with changes in LWdown, preserving net energy loss efficiency at the surface boundary layer. | H saturates or fails to compensate for increased LWdown, altering the total surface energy balance. |
Bowen Ratio (H/LE) | Adjusts dynamically to evacuate heat without raising equilibrium surface temperatures. | Shifts insufficiently, resulting in heat accumulation in the surface layer (G+ΔS>0). |
While convection dominates heat transport in the unstable planetary boundary layer (the first 1–2 kilometers of the atmosphere), Earth's net thermal radiation escaping into space is constrained higher up in the troposphere near the effective emission altitude (~5–6 kilometers), where lower atmospheric density diminishes convective heat transport relative to radiative loss.
**they always throw in radiation above the stratosphere, but carbon dioxide helps in that.
I went through this already, when Bruce Power wanted to do this. With our Major Ice Cycle, the lake freezes solid.
Without water, the nuclear plants shut down. You saw the description of the weather during the little ice age, we get horrendous winters, and the summer has drought for Europe.
Anyway, I don't want to go through all this again. People living around the area should not bother to dust off their "No Nukes" signs.
