Carbon dioxide does not cause climate change
No gas causes warming
Temperature is an indication of the speed at which atoms and molecules are moving. Academia has forgotten or skipped over this first tenet of gas physics, presumably to chase the $22 billion per year in funding to study global warming.
When mercury in a thermometer is exposed to heat, the mercury atoms accelerate. They collide, increasing friction and temperature.
This causes the mercury to expand, and the added force pushes it up the thermometer. When the sun goes down, the atoms slow, the friction and force lessen, and the mercury falls.
The mercury atoms do not migrate elsewhere; they simply slow down.
This happens because we live in a gravitational field.
Kinetic energy (motion) is destroyed by gravity, another tenet of gas physics that has been ignored. Any migration of energy ends abruptly like the spark from a flame or sand under a rolling baseball. Atoms and molecules are densely packed in our atmosphere.
Do gases retain some trace amount of temperature from day to day?
To answer this, we charted actual atmosphere temperature drops. High and low temperatures were recorded from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration website. It provides a high for the day, and a low the next morning.
The temperature drops were for locations throughout the country. A typical drop in summer was from 80 to 58 degrees Fahrenheit. The size of the drops varied.
However, the average drop for 15 samples or more was
notably consistent at 22 degrees. Temperature drops were recorded throughout winter down to highs in the 20s. Similarly,
temperature drops in winter also averaged 22 degrees.
This proves that temperatures drop at a steady rate when the sun is down. The resulting temperature-drop chart indicates that, if the sun never came up, the Earth would be a frozen ball of ice in less than 48 hours (dropping 22 degrees every 12 hours). That proves that temperature is not trapped or retained from day to day (global warming). Any prolonged warming is caused by the sun.
It further proves that no gas — not carbon dioxide, methane, or even humid atmospheric air — retains temperature from day to day.
Make no mistake. This is a true scientific test because it observes actual measurements of the atmosphere. Any high school class can repeat these observations over a school year.
The question we should be asking is, “Why doesn’t carbon dioxide cause warming?” That leads to the proper scientific approach: Measure it.
The scientific proof is easily grasped. We tested carbon dioxide’s ability to trap or retain heat. It cools 22 F in 3 minutes and 45 seconds. It cannot possibly retain heat and certainly not do so from day to day.
To naysayers, how about proving your theory? Try to get carbon dioxide to retain temperature from day to day. Or better yet, perform our test for yourself.
