The Physics Behind the Global Warming Spurious Correlation - Part 1

Harvard is ready to fill the world with chalk dust, and the basic physics hasn't been done.  They need some background, and will be quite surprised when the dust flies away on clear-air convection currents.

The poster-child against 'global' warming is this map.

It shows conclusively that all the warming action was in the Northern Hemisphere.  The physics behind this map is quite interesting.  Any warm object 'shines' at microwave and infrared frequencies.  There are a lot of satellites that can measure this.  Different frequencies come from different altitudes, but, basically, the temperatures at points on the Earth can be measured instantaneously. 

I find this amazing, and it's only since the warming period started that we can do this, from about 1980.  Actually, it was still cold to about 1990, and you can see this with the Arctic Ice volume chart.

 I remember those days.

The 'Earth Shine' maps give us temperature, which is an odd physical attribute.  It has nothing to do with heat energy, and is like using acceleration in earthquake engineering, rather than velocity.  The global temperature is just an average of the pixels over the whole earth.  You can also break it up into various sections.

It was the great contribution of nasa that gave us the concept that all the Earth's heat energy at the surface of the Earth is directly radiated out to space using Earth Shine.  This can be 'held in' by a global net of carbon dioxide which interferes with this shine.  Thus, the carbon acts as a thermal blanket and warms us up.  Magnificent!

They made this grand announcement without a speck of physics.  They have continued to maintain it by not doing any new physics.  All the warmie extremists are happy with that, since they say all the necessary physics was done in 1850, in the lab.

This assertion breaks so many laws of physics that I don't know where to begin.  But all opposition was brutally suppressed by our leftie extremists.  Nobody survived raising objections, since the spurious correlation was so evident to the masses.  Carbon goes up, temperature goes up, qed.

It is only now, with coming cold that scientific dissent --the lifeblood of the Scientific Method-- can come out of the bomb shelters.
