The rate of infrared absorption is a function of CO2 concentration, not the percentage increase over some arbitrary value.
OMG.. You just fling math aside like it doesn't matter. The function is logarithmic. So a 100 ppm increase at one point in the curve is gonna give different results than at another. BUT PERCENTAGES (or the C/Co ratios) will give consistent results ANYWHERE on the curve.
That's why your assertion that I was using percentages just to be ornery is so dad-gum funny.
Only thing I get out of Abraham convos is the humor... Reevaluating my investment constantly. Waiting for that giant nugget to pop out and pay off..
Ahem:
Heat Stored by Greenhouse Gases
Figures that Bullwinkle would Thank-You for that Ahem (throat choked?)
That particular guy has a long and glorious history of mangling physics and being spectacularly wrong. AND NOTE --- this is NOT just a leftist source filtering bias.. I'll prove it to ya quickly -- so listen up..
Farther down on that pages after the ejaculation of maybe repeating some atmos physics badly we find....
Planet Earth would not be warming if the Sun's energy output (Solar Irradiance) was not increasing. Favorably, our Sun is emitting more radiation now than it was 200 years ago, and so we should have no fear of a natural cycle that has occurred many times over in the lifetime of our Solar System.
Heat always moves from places of higher density of heat to places of lower density of heat, thus states the Second Law of Thermodynamics (Van Ness. 1969. Page 54). In daylight (P. S. obviously under, Sunlight), air is always colder than soil (P. S. obviously, the surface of soil); consequently, heat is transferred from the soil to the air, not vice versa. By the same physical law, the heat emitted by the Sun -a source of heat- is transferred to the Earth, which is a colder system.
{{{ BASIC DENIAL OF BACK RADIATION IN THE GREENHOUSE THEORY }}}
The capacity of carbon dioxide to absorb-emit heat is much more limited than that of oceans and soil; thus, carbon dioxide cannot have been the cause of the warming of the Earth in 1998.
How did I know this?? This loose cannon is the most often quoted "expert" of the Skeptic blunderheads that were beating up Dr. Roy Spencer for his defense of Back Radiation..
I Read thru his crap on that and decided to embargo anything else from him in the future..
LMFUCKINGAO.... Ahem !!!!!
