    The Horror of the Climate Catastrophe
    in the Colorado Front Range Today


    Higher res Detail       
    The actual horror , of course , is the criminal malfeasance of the anti-science Global Statists
    despoiling vast landscapes with thousands of economically unmaintainable unsustainable
    Rube Goldberg monstrosities on the existential fraud that the very molecule LIFE is built on
    is Evil .

    No .   They Are

    MIT Professor Richard Lindzen :
    " What we will be leaving our grandchildren is not a planet damaged by industrial progress, but a record of unfathomable silliness as well as a landscape degraded by rusting wind farms and decaying solar panel arrays. "

    Demoed The CoSy Box
    at   May SVFIG Zoom Sat.May,20210522


    The great insight and band-aid from Apollo 11 has made CoSy far more everyday usable and reduced the continuing work to understand the structure and exception handling in Reva Forth into a lessor irritation .
    I think one Saturday afternoon working with someone who knows web interfacing ( does it boil down to get and put thru a socket ? ) would accomplish a lot , I really want to get the interface off of IUP so I only have to deal with my own bugs , and am on the fast path to offering CoSy as a web service .

    CO2 , What Plants are Made of
    So so are You

    Triggered and steered by starting to read Paul Clark's Why John Tyndall’s Experiment Did NOT prove the Greenhouse Gas Effect I've been reading John Tyndall , 1861 :

     The Bakerian Lecture: On the Absorption and Radiation of Heat by Gases and Vapours,
     and on
    the Physical Connexion of Radiation, Absorption, and Conduction
    Author(s): John Tyndall

    Source:
    Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London, Vol. 151 (1861), pp. 1-36Published by: The Royal Society

    His working out of potential biases and inaccuracies in his apparatus are impressive . for instance there was an evacuated chamber before the 4 foot long brass gas sample tube , and after issues with nulling galvanometers for maximum precision , went to using a 2 ended pair of thermopiles nulled against a fixed temperature source .


    Experiment is the ultimate arbitrator , trumping any politician . It's why I keep pushing the notion of a Ritchie Prize ` YouTube demo of relevant quantitative physics .  And a PSSC quality highschool level experimental physics curriculum .  Thus making  militia for rationality  out of quantitatively capable youngsters .

    I haven't gotten to his measurments of CO2 yet . But his point of astonishment was with " olefiant gas " .
    The tube was now taken away, and both sources of heat allowed to act from some distance on the thermo-electric pile. When the needle was at zero, olefiant gas was allowed to issue from a common argand burner into the air between one of the sources of heat and the pile. The gas was invisible, nothing was seen in the air, but the needle immediately declared its presence, being driven through an arc of 41º . In the four experiments last described, the source of heat was a cube of oil heated to 250º Centi- grade, the compensation cube being filled with boiling water*

    Those
    who like myself have been taught to regard transparent gases as almost perfectly diathermanous, will probably share the astonishiment with which I witnessed the foregoing effects. I was indeed slow to believe it possible that a body so constituted, and so transparent to light as olefiant gas, could be so densely opake to any kind of calorific rays; and to secure myself against error, I made several hundred experiments with this single substance. By citing them at greater length, however, I do not think I could add to the conclusiveness of the proofs just furnished, that the case is one of true calorific absorption t.

    olefiant gas turns out to be ethylene , H₂C=CH₂ ,  which has a hell of a lot more degrees of freedom than CO2 , so I assume has more absorption=emission lines .

    In any case , that's Tyndall's essential discovery . But he and everybody already knew apparently transparent solids like glass strongly resonated with invisible heat rays . That's why he went to significant difficulty in using rock salt as the caps on the ends of his tube .

    The overall computation for arbitrary spectra in Arthur Whitney's K is at http://cosy.com/Science/ComputationalEarthPhysics.html#EqTempEq ,
    Translating to CoSy would be a useful exercise for someone needing a motivation to learn CoSy . There's a lot of vocabulary which needs to be fleshed out and scrubbed down in those mathy forms I rarely visit .

    I've for the first time spit out all my real time blog links and comments since the last NL in

    This is the timestamped ` text from my  http://cosy.com/y21/blog.csy CoSy task with some HTML enhancements Note , the HTML copy of the Blog is a continuing experiment in minimal HTML . I currently have a half dozen lines in http://cosy.com/y21/blog.csy ` state to insert the anchors on the day lines . Next things I'm thinking of doing is constraining the width & word wrapping , and adding a line to wake up all the  http: links .


    `nuff for now .
