WeatherBELL Chief Forecaster Joe Bastardi Denies Basic Physics: āCO2 Cannot Cause Global Warmingā
BASTARDI: CO2 cannot cause global warming. Iāll tell you why. It doesnāt mix well with the atmosphere, for one. For two, its specific gravity is 1 1/2 times that of the rest of the atmosphere. It heats and cools much quicker. Its radiative processes are much different. So it cannot ā it literally cannot cause global warming.
Asked about Bastardiās statements, Kerry Emanuel of MIT said: āUtter rubbish. Sorry to be so direct, but that is just the case.ā NASA climatologist Gavin Schmidt added: āBastardi is attempting to throw out 150 years of physics.ā āHe seems very confused,ā said physicist Richard Muller.
Bastardi may be hoping that when delivered confidently, terms like āspecific gravityā and āradiative processesā can convince Foxās viewers that he knows what heās talking about. But donāt be fooled; he is again garbling the very basics of climate science.
That's what THE ACTUAL RAW DATA has said ALL ALONG... specifically the highly correlated satellite and balloon data showing precisely NO WARMING in the ATMOSPHERE even as CO2 rose from 270ppm to 400... or 1 in 3000 atmospheric molecules is now CO2...
