Something to ponder
This was taken from a comment in a blog:
Quote:In any chemistry/physics handbook you will find that the volumetric heat capacity of air is 0.001297 J cm-1 K-1, and water is 4.186, so air (atmosphere) can hold heat 3227 times less heat than water, then, how in the world could atmosphere alone, and less a trace gas(CO2) in it, being 3.8 per ten thousand,able to keep warm? What do you think? It is our attitude toward free thought and free expression that will determine our fate. There must be no limit on the range of temperate discussion, no limits on thought. No subject must be taboo. No censor must preside at our assemblies. –William O. Douglas, U.S. Supreme Court Justice, 1952 |

Re: Something to ponder
The question isn't whether the oceans can hold more heat than the atmosphere, the question regarding AGW by CO2 is whether the small amount of heat that atmospheric CO2 can "hold/radiate" is enough to make any difference, isn't it?
Although this may be one more aspect of the many natural ones that completely overwhelm the small amount that atmospheric CO2 can have. I know you think you understand what you thought I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant! |
