    The Stefan–Boltzmann law says a planet warmed by a sun's incoming shortwave radiation radiates long-wave energy back out at a rate that is dependent on its temperature.

    So, if the (fictional) Earth like planet with no internal source of energy Ron-Heller-NoTrickZone was an evenly heated blackbody planet without an atmosphere then the temperature would equal the temp given by the Stefan–Boltzmann equations.

    Now add the fictional Ron-Heller-NoTrickZone transparent atmosphere. If Ron's and Heller's stories were true the temperature would rise due to atmospheric pressure alone and not greenhouse gases, and it would rise enough to sustain life or in Venus's case rise to 730°K (850°F).

    But according to Stefan–Boltzmann when the temperature rises the amount of radiation back into space must rise too. The Ron-Heller-NoTrickZone planet would balance its incoming shortwave with its outgoing long-wave radiation because the atmosphere is all but transparent to long-wave radiation (no or small GHG effect).

    The planet is violating the law of conservation of energy because it is radiating more energy than it receives.

How will you explain that in Saudi Arabia was snow this year, in one of the warmest countries in the world? I can talk a lot about that, but I have to go.
    lol, thanks for presenting the denialist intellectual underpinnings so clearly. RJ before he took his class in FUD. Side note: RJ, did you get paid to attend the FUD class, or just on a per-post basis?

    Q: Does the additional temperature on Venus due to the greenhouse effect in its entirety exceed what the ground temperature would otherwise be without the greenhouse effect?

    A: 730K - 231K = 499K, 499K > 231K so the answer is yes


    That's the fundamental problem with all the lies you and your cohort like Heller & NoTrickZone tell, once you get past the false narratives and actually look at the details your stories all fall apart.
    Here is a more detailed look at Heller's position, and he has a lot of discussion in the comments: https://wattsupwiththat.com/2010/05/...ting-on-venus/

    I find this discussion to be a total waste of time. I don't know whether Heller is right or wrong, but presenting an opinion backed by logic and reason, while responding to criticism, does not make him a fraud if he is wrong. It simply makes him wrong.

    Your entire point is supposed to be about Heller's alleged data fraud which you have no evidence of.

    I don't know why you are making this out to be the Ron-Heller-NoTricksZone opinion. It is Heller's opinion, not mine, and AFAIK not NTZ's either.

    Ok, this global warming shit is getting out of hand...

    I’m not a scientist and should’ve paid attention more in school. I’ve got one question for the deniers that has been a mystery to me.
    What’s the big conspiracy from your perspective that has all of the scientist in agreement to change our current environmental trajectory? Why would all of these random scholars form and collectively mislead us? What’s the big gain besides the obvious attempt to reverse our affects on earth?

    I can see the conspiracy side of the fossil fuel company’s (etc) to deny, clear as day, to protect their profits.

    lol @ Ron ignoring the math and doubling down on Heller's fraud with wattsupwiththat "logic and reason," something they have since disavowed, or saying there's "no evidence" of NoTricksZone's or Heller's data fraud when the last time these topics came up plenty of evidence was presented in this thread.

    And while it's true Ron doesn't deny the greenhouse effect he believes there's little correlation between CO2 levels and temperature, that instead it's a yet unidentified cooling/warming force and atmospheric pressure. So sure, Heller's and Ron's positions aren't the same, one tried to sell the fraud that it's all adiabatic (pressure-induced) and the other believes it's mostly adiabatic:

    There is little correlation between CO2 levels and temperature as you look at earth's climate history, but somehow it comes in at #1?

    You are really impossible to argue with. You never stop misrepresenting my positions and refuse to accept any evidence against your positions, ie: Heller's data fraud. You presented one blog post alleging Heller's data fraud, I showed you Heller's response which invalidated all of the claims, you had no response, but you continue to accuse him of data fraud.

    And while it's true Ron doesn't deny the greenhouse effect he believes there's little correlation between CO2 levels and temperature, that instead it's a yet unidentified cooling/warming force and atmospheric pressure.

    This is such a ridiculous out of context misrepresentation. You are pulling quotes from me over two separate arguments. One had to do with the difference in temperature between Mars and Venus, of which I claimed that the atmospheric pressure is the biggest differentiator between the two.

    The other has to do with our argument about your absurd position that CO2 is the driver of earth's past ice ages even though we see ice ages start at high CO2 levels and end at low CO2 levels. So obviously there must be a radiative force greater than that of CO2 that causes these cycles.

    Ron likes all the pretty words like radiative force, but he don't know what it means...

    And not just one blog post WRT to Heller, not just one snopes article WRT to NoTrickZone, and Heller's so called evidence was as laughable as his/your position that the "the primary factor controlling planetary temperature is atmospheric pressure"

    You are truly pathetic. You are the one that had no clue what a radiative force was. Highlighted by the fact that you kept trying to use a chart of estimated radiative forces for 2006 as evidence pertinent to past ice ages.
    And not just one blog post WRT to Heller, not just one snopes article WRT to NoTrickZone, and Heller's so called evidence was as laughable as his/your position that the "the primary factor controlling planetary temperature is atmospheric pressure"
    If its not just one blog post about Heller, where are the others? How about instead of you now claiming that Heller's "so called evidence was laughable", you go back and present what is laughable about it.

    I don't find Heller's position that atmospheric pressure is the biggest influence on planetary temperature "laughable" at all. At worst you must concede that atmospheric pressure plays a major role in temperature. Your own source says as much:
    Even though Mars has nearly 70 times as much CO2 in its atmosphere as Earth, the low Martian atmospheric pressure results in a narrower GHG solar absorption spectrum and so more heat is lost into space.

    To start with the consensus isn't nearly as strong as we are lead to believe. This has been discussed at length in the thread.

    Beyond that, the climate science community suffers from group think, cliquishness, media control, and peer pressure. Any scientist that expresses any doubt on the narrative will be attacked and is taking a major risk on their career and future earning prospects:

    BP’s pledge to zero out all its carbon emissions by 2050 deepens the divide between major European and American oil producers on climate change, increasing the pressure for Exxon Mobil Corp. and Chevron Corp. to do more.

    The U.S. giants have committed only to reducing greenhouse gases from their own operations. On Wednesday, BP followed Royal Dutch Shell and Equinor in pledging to offset the carbon emissions from the fuels they sell. Known as Scope 3, the emissions from cars, homes and factories are responsible for 90% of fossil fuel pollution.

    “If we do see capital flowing into BP, that may force the U.S. majors to rethink the speed at which they move on carbon reduction targets,” said Noah Barrett, a Denver-based energy analyst at Janus Henderson, which manages $356 billion.

    The growing outcry against human-made global warming is increasingly making its way into mainstream business and investment strategies. It has already reshaped the way European oil producers operate by actively engaging in the transition to cleaner energy sources.

    Exxon and Chevron agree with the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement, support a carbon tax and are committed to cleaning up emissions from their vast network of wells, refineries and pipelines. They joined the Oil and Gas Climate Initiative later than their European rivals but are still fully paid-up members. They even lobbied against President Trump’s plan to roll back Obama-era emission standards.
    I have first hand experience regarding the trend toward the investment community pricing in Sustainability. The Ron Johnsons of the world are increasingly irrelevant. Horse is out of the barn.

    Or legal. The arguments are articulate, but do circle back a lot. I suspect well educated at worst.

    You are starting from a false narrative that "all scientists are in agreement to change our current environmental trajectory."

    I guess you mean most scientists agree that many human activities are environmentally destructive and we adopt more sustainable practices? I certainly agree with that, but I don't think switching to "green" energy is going to change much.

    Yeah, not only are tar sand oil extraction operations destructive and generally awful, they're also extremely inefficient. With the price of oil so low, there's no way a new one would make money. Surprised the older ones are at all.
    And idiots in Alberta keep blaming wolves for fucking up the caribou numbers and meanwhile these oily ditches are right there fucking everything up. Hm, wonder if that's it?

    Yeah I agree. I feel like we are going to destroy the climate all together. I am also scared that we might be a little bit too late for making sure that we can save the planet.
