Florida Passes “Anti-Science” Law

[SassyIrishLass]

.
Conservatives in Florida got their wish last Monday when their governor, Rick Scott signed a bill into law guaranteeing scientific facts taught in public schools can be challenged if they offend an individual’s personal beliefs.

Climate change tops the list of such facts denied by conservatives. But will they be as happy about this law when they find their homes waste-deep in seawater? Or, when they are finally forced to tread water 24/7 if they wish to remain in Florida?

The oceans ARE rising, and Florida’s conservatives will eventually discover how burying their head’s in the sand will have them drowning much sooner. This is going to make being a devoted Republican much, much more difficult.

There is a renewed effort in the US for fake Christians to try to impose Christian Sharia law on the rest of the population. In red states children don't go to school to learn facts, they go to learn how facts can't be right because they contradict Christian Sharia law.

There goes another loon and that "christian sharia law" nonsense,

I'm showing this because the "global warming" community seems to have difficulty with simple arithmetic .
In summary the expert says 353 billion trees would cover 24% of the earth. So that would mean 100% of the earth surface would be covered by 4 times 353 billion
or about 1.4 trillion trees. Yet some others say we already have 3 trillion trees. You "scientific" types... explain the simple math that seems the experts can't agree on!
Oh and also explain how with 1.6 trillion trees absorbing ALL the CO2 emitted we have a problem?

Maybe there is a lot of overlap with the trees. Also, what about the oceans, are they accounted for in the estimate. Not very many trees in the ocean as far as I know.

The many mysteries of water



By David Robson and Michael Marshall

No liquid behaves quite as oddly as water. It exhibits a raft of unusual behaviours, many of which are essential for life as we know it. We list water’s peculiarities below.

In The strangest liquid, we look at how a controversial new theory could finally explain water’s weird behaviour. Here we explain how the theory could explain 10 of water’s behaviours – and then take a quick look at its many other peculiarities.

Read more: Martin Chaplin of London South Bank University has posted a much moredetailed and technical discussion of these anomalies.

Water’s mysteries
Picturing water as a liquid that can form two types of structure, one tetrahedral and the other disordered, could explain many of its unusual properties. Here are 10 of them.

Water is most dense at 4 °C

EXPLANATION: Heating reduces the number of ordered, tetrahedral structures in favour of a more disordered arrangement in which molecules are more densely packed. However, the heat also agitates the molecules in the disordered regions, causing them to move further apart. Above 4 °C, this effect takes precedence, making the water less dense

Water has an exceptionally high specific heat capacity: it takes a lot of heat energy to raise water’s temperature by a given amount

EXPLANATION: Much of the extra heat energy is used to convert more molecules from the tetrahedral structures to the disordered structures, rather than into increasing the kinetic energy of the molecules, and hence the temperature.

Specific heat capacity is at a minimum at 35 °C but increases as the temperature falls or rises, whereas the heat capacity of most other liquids rises continuously with temperature.

EXPLANATION: Between 0 and 35 °C, increasing the temperature steadily removes regions of ordered, tetrahedral structure, reducing water’s ability to absorb heat. Above 35 °C, so few of the tetrahedral regions are left that water behaves like a regular liquid.

Water’s compressibility drops with increasing temperature until it reaches a minimum at 46 °C, whereas in most liquids, the compressibility rises continuously with temperature

EXPLANATION: As the temperature rises, the dense, disordered regions become more prevalent, and these are more difficult to compress. However, rising temperature also forces molecules within these regions further apart and hence makes them more compressible. This effect takes precedence beyond 46 °C.

Water is particularly difficult to compress

EXPLANATION: The strong attraction between water molecules keeps them more closely packed than the molecules of many other liquids.

This effect is particularly marked when the higher-density disordered structure dominates

The speed of sound in water increases with temperature up to 74 °C, after which it starts to fall again

EXPLANATION: This is the result of the interplay between water’s unusual density and compressibility profiles, which directly stem from the changing balance between the two types of structure.

Water molecules diffuse more easily, not less easily, at higher pressures

EXPLANATION: High pressure converts more molecules to the disordered structure, in which they are more mobile.

Unlike many liquids, water becomes less viscous, not more viscous, at higher pressures

EXPLANATION: Molecules are freer to move when in the disordered structures, which are favoured at higher pressures, than when they are in the ordered, tetrahedral structure.

Increasing the pressure increases the amount by which water expands on heating

EXPLANATION: Rising temperature causes disordered regions to expand more rapidly than ordered, tetrahedral ones, and high pressure favours fluctuations to the disordered regions.

Properties such as viscosity, boiling point and melting point are significantly different in “heavy” water – made from the heavier hydrogen isotopes deuterium and tritium – compared with their equivalents in normal water.

EXPLANATION: The heavier isotopes change the quantum mechanical properties of water molecules, altering the balance of the disordered and tetrahedral regions.

Phase anomalies
Water has an unusually high melting/freezing point.

Water has an unusually high boiling point.

Water has an unusually high critical point. This is the temperature at which the distinct liquid and gas states cease to exist. Instead, there is only a supercritical fluid, which can diffuse through solids just like a gas but also dissolve things just like a liquid. Water’s critical point is at a temperature of 374 °C and a pressure of 217 atmospheres: above this temperature, it is a supercritical fluid.

Solid water exists in a wider variety of stable (and metastable) crystal and amorphous structures than other materials.

The thermal conductivity of ice falls with increasing pressure.

The structure of liquid water changes at high pressure.

Supercooled water – that is, water that has been cooled below its freezing point without it becoming a solid – behaves strangely. It has two phases and a second critical point at about -91°C.

Liquid water is easy to supercool, but difficult to turn into a glass-like solid.

Liquid water exists at very low temperatures and freezes on heating.

Liquid water may be easily superheated: that is, heated to a temperature above its boiling point without it boiling.

Hot water may freeze faster than cold water– the Mpemba effect.

Warm water vibrates longer than cold water.

Density anomalies
The density of ice increases on heating (up to a temperature of -203 °C). Normally, solids expand and become less dense when heated.

Water shrinks on melting, when most substances expand.

Pressure reduces ice’s melting point, when it normally increases it: pressure normally encourages a substance to become a solid.

Liquid water has a high density that increases on heating (up to 3.984 °C). Heating a liquid normally causes it to expand, reducing its density.

The surface of water is denser than the bulk. This may be because the density of the surface water does not vary with temperature as the density of the bulk does.

Pressure reduces the temperature of maximum density.

There is a minimum in the density of supercooled water.

Water has a low thermal expansivity: for a given increase in temperature, it does not expand as much as it might be expected to.

Water’s thermal expansivity decreases at low temperatures. Below 4 °C, it becomes negative – so if you heat water that is below this temperature, it will shrink.

The number of nearest neighbours that each water molecule has increases on melting. Normally, because the molecules of a liquid are moving around so much more, any one molecule is likely to have fewer nearest neighbours than if it were part of a solid.

The number of nearest neighbours increases with temperature. This happens because the increasing temperatures break down the hydrogen bond network holding the molecules in place, allowing them to move closer to each other.

There is a maximum in the compressibility-temperature relationship, probably near the temperature at which the density is lowest.

The speed of sound may show a minimum.

High-frequency sounds travel as “fast sound”, because for these frequencies water behaves as if it is a glassy solid rather than a liquid. Water also shows a discontinuity at higher pressure, probably as a result of the water molecules rearranging themselves.

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spin-lattice relaxation time is very small at low temperatures. In other words, if the nuclei of the atoms making up water are excited to a higher energy level – for instance by a magnetic field – they return to their previous, lower energy level unusually fast.

The NMR shift increases to a maximum at low (supercool) temperatures.

The refractive index of water – that is, how much light is slowed down, and thus deflected, when it enters water – has a maximum value at just below 0 °C.

The change in volume as liquid water changes to gas is unusually large.

Duh... that's why if you read what the "expert" said he said: "earth's surface"!
And I'm pretty sure even though his math maybe questioned he would agree trees don't grow in the ocean.
But evidently you missed the point.
Global warming expert can't do simple math. Therefore how can this or any of the global warming experts' calculations have any creditability?

Good science questions and peer reviews and even after that is open to fundamental corrections. So when the left want to silence any discussion or questioning of climate science that's a huge red flag.

You know that many Of Hillary's supporters doesn't knows much about science. They just watch all the episodes of star trek thinking that is all that they are suppose to know. Methane is a natural gas that the earth produces consistently. It is in the air we breathe. To much methane in our air, warms our climate. But I guess that long ago. That world had less methane in order for the antarctic to turn from an tropical paradise into a cold Iceland. Methane is always spewing from the bottom of the ocean's bed maybe because of the saturated earth crust. Cola makes methane. And if not burn, the coals will increase making its methane. Coal is an organic substance, that it were once were vegetation like trees, that had been compressed over time in the earth. But these dead organisms are still producing methane.
And so, the Hillary's supporters are just parroting what they heard from off of the show called Dancing with the Stars. But they actually needs to stop going to these Trekkies conventions and start opening up a science book.


Methane - CH4
Methane is a kind of gas. There is a small amount of methane in the air you breathe. A methane molecule has carbon and hydrogen atoms in it.

Methane is a greenhouse gas. That means it helps make Earth warm. But if there was too much methane, that could make our planet too warm.

Where does the methane in Earth's atmosphere come from? Cow burps, for one place! Farming rice also puts methane into the air. Some methane also comes fromgarbage dumps. Termites make lots of methane, too. Swamps also make methane.

Methane can burn. It is used as a fuel. It is one of the main gases in natural gas. The heat in your home might be from natural gas. Methane is called a hydrocarbon because it has hydrogen and carbon atoms in it. Methane - Windows to the Universe

In 2007, researchers from UC Riverside discovered that the bubbles were caused by hardy forms of bacteria embedded in the natural asphalt. After consuming petroleum, the bacteria release methane. "Of the bacteria sampled, about 200 to 300 were previously unknown species."[9] La Brea Tar Pits - Wikipedia


Continuing proteolysis leads to the production of phenolic substances. In addition, the following gases will also be produced:[4]

• carbon dioxide
• hydrogen sulphide, which is highly toxic
• ammonia
• methane
• Chemical process of decomposition - Wikipedia

Predictions decades in the future haven't come true, yet, no. It may be incorrect, but I believe the major reason the Republicans and Trump didn't like the Paris Accords was the $$$, not the science. I have nothing against ongoing research and both sides having a clear reasonable discussion about it. I just think it belongs in the scientists' ball park to hash out. This is pure politics and I don't have to "predict" what Trump will be tweeting about once they come to their conclusions. That's what I don't like about it: a group assembled to come to a foregone conclusion. That is not how science is supposed to work and it is not how the scientists slowly over the years came to the conclusions they have on global warming. It is not just scientists in the U.S. who have come to these conclusions.

I remember a guy named Galileo who was imprisoned for challenging the scientific facts in his day. How strange it is that we still haven't learned to be open to opposing viewpoints.

But seriously why are you so afraid of people challenging your viewpoints? If the facts are indeed in your favor you should have no problem persuading people to agree with you. But instead of trying to persuade, you want to shut down opposition. Why?

As for debating conservatives, I've yet to see you sincerely attempt to debate any of us. You usually just start a thread, maybe one or two additional posts insulting people and you disappear until you start a new thread. If that's debate to you, you have alot to learn.

So if you ever do want to play chess, feel free. Til then don't be shocked when we laugh at you for chasing pigeons around a bird bath pretending you are making some great points
