Just shot this to Gemini. Cute how my blog never gets anywhere, not that I want it to. It's an exercise to the non-reader on how they leave out 'convection'. "If you ignore it, it's not there'
physics to debunk climate change
The laws of physics cannot be used to debunk climate change; rather, foundational physics is the very framework that proves it.
While a few individual contrarian physicists have claimed that simple calculations disprove global warming, these claims rely on flawed assumptions that violate fundamental laws of thermodynamics. Here is how core physics actually validates anthropogenic climate change:
Quantum Mechanics and IR Absorption
Contrarians often argue that carbon dioxide (CO₂) is too scarce a trace gas—accounting for roughly 0.04% of the atmosphere—to alter global temperatures.
However, physics shows that a gas's heat-trapping ability is determined by its molecular geometry, not its atmospheric abundance. Symmetrical molecules like Nitrogen (N₂) and Oxygen (O₂) make up 99% of our atmosphere but are completely transparent to infrared (IR) radiation. In contrast, asymmetrical molecules like CO₂ possess vibrational modes that perfectly match the wavelengths of outgoing thermal radiation emitted by the Earth. Quantum mechanics dictates that CO₂ molecules absorb this energy and re-radiate it in all directions, sending a significant portion back down to the Earth's surface.
ps it's fun asking it about convection, etc. It's like questioning trump
