The Soot Experiment

-
Global warming alarmists want us to believe that CO2 concentrations are rising, the rising CO2 is causing the atmosphere to warm and the warming atmosphere is causing glaciers and ice caps to melt.

However there is another mechanism that can melt snow, ice, glaciers and ice caps- soot. Get the reflective stuff dirty and that dirt traps the heat from the sun's rays.

There was a show on the Discovery Channel about global warming- a pro AGW show. One scientist was in the Arctic demonstrating the albedo effect. Below freezing temps and nice white snow. He then laid down two 2'x2' pieces of cardboard- one was white and the other was black. The white one stayed the same as the ambient and the black one rose to over 90 degrees within a couple minutes.

He wanted to demonstrate that having no Arctic ice cap to reflect the sun's rays then that will add to the over all global temperature.

What he demonstrted was that dirty snow gets warm and warm snow melts.

So this is what I did. I took the ash from my pellett stoves and spread it over my unshoveled back walkway- over two feet deep. I did it half way down, leaving the other half pristine white. That was a few weeks ago.

Now the sooted half is melted down to the walkway and there is almost 2 feet of snow left on the other half.

Exposed to the same temperatures, exposed to the same amount of sunlight, the sooted half melted so much faster it is easy to conclude the cause and effect relationship.

The point being it isn't the CO2 and by focusing on CO2 we are missing the root cause.

Take a close look at glaciers. Find one that is pristine white and melting. Good luck finding one that white.

    Wow JoeTard, you are one impressive IDiot.

    First you overturn all of modern biology with your 'ticks like watermelon' blockbuster.

    Then you falsify 150 years of evolutionary evidence by calculating the CSI of a cake.

    Now you destroy 100 years of solid climate research with some dirty snow in your back yard.

    Tell us JoeTard, why hasn't a shining genius like yourself won a Nobel Prize in science yet?

     
  • At 7:18 AM, Blogger Joe G said…

    Wow Thorton you're stioll an ignorant piece of shit.

    The tick thing doesn't overturn anything but your ignorance.

    Measuring the information of a cake doesn't do anything to evolution.

    And there isn't anything called "solid climate research".

    As a matter of fact what I did was follow the lead of a climate scientist and a little common sense.

    Joe,
    Thirty-eight Nobel Prize laureates asked Kansas state educators to reject proposed science standards that treat evolution as a seriously questionable theory, calling it instead the "indispensable" foundation of biology.

    Also the 2009 Physiology or Medicine Nobel prize went to Elizabeth H. Blackburn, Carol W. Greider and Jack W. Szostak "for the discovery of how chromosomes are protected by telomeres and the enzyme telomerase". Szostak has since worked on the evolutionary aspects of this discovery, seeking explanations for how chemistry became biology in Earth’s earliest days.

    Any similar credentials for *any* ID proponents?

    "Nothing to do with the claims of the ToE."

    How do you know that? From the title of the work or from an intense study of it? Given that's what you've said about every example ever presented to you, who's more likely to be wrong? You or dozens of other people who've tried (and failed) to educate you?

    If the authors of the work, who won a Nobel, say that evolution was an integral part of that work and entire topic then who are you to say any different? And they have said that.Just go read for a few minutes on what they did. What they went on to do.

    Or just put your fingers back in your ears and shout "lalalalal" if you prefer. I know which is the more amusing!

    So your "answer" is to try to change the subject?

    And yes saying something was designed is very useful. Archaeology and forensic science proves it is useful, or are you claiming these are useless venues?

     
  • At 11:20 AM, Blogger CBD said…

    Joe
    "and yes saying something was designed is very useful. Archaeology and forensic science proves it is useful, or are you claiming these are useless venues?"

    Yes, that's right. However Archaeology and forensic science don't just leave it there as you do. They provide some further details. Such as how it was created (the edges of bones that have been chopped can tell you what tool was used to chop it) and who the bone belonged to (male, female, what species, what age when they died, how well nourished they were).

    So you can only claim analogies with those sciences when you come up with the same level of *evidence* and *detail* that they do. Simply saying "something was designed" is easy to do. Those sciences are called sciences for a reason. And ID is not called science for the very same reason.

    They do what they can. However even you have said that an arsonist can be found given the lack of a cause.

    We still don't know how Stonehenge was created.

    So as I have been saying for decades- reality dictates that in the absence of direct observation or designer input the only possible way to make any scientific determination about the designer(s) or the specific processes used is by studying the design in question.

    And THAT is what ID is all about- the detection and study of design(s).

    That also fits in with archaeology and forensics. And your blathering is still meaningless.

    BTW your position doesn't have any evidence nor detail. Therefor by YOUR standard it ain't science.

    "And THAT is what ID is all about- the detection and study of design(s)."

    And what has the last decade of such study determined? That "some things were designed". Wow. That's some level of detail right there.

    So if you've been at this for "decades" what scientific determinations have you come to about

    A) the nature of the designer
    B) the specific processes used

    ?

    Anything at all you can share? How about "the designer must have had really small fingers to be able to manipulate DNA"?

    Everything we know from transcription to translation, including overlapping genes and alternative gene splicing.

    Both the Human Genome and ENCODE projects have supported the claims of ID- the specification runs deep. And all you can do is choke on it.

    Just look at this thread- we have thortard chiming is with irrelevant bullshit and then fires back with pure raw ignorance.

    Then we have you chiming in off-topic (as usual), spew something, fail to support it and now you derail the thread to try to distract from the fact that you are full of shit.

    Soot melts white snow even when the temperature is below freezing and the white snow is not melting.

    This is what is causing the problems with melting glaciers and ice caps.

    If you have something to say about that then go ahead- otherwise piss off...

    "Both the Human Genome and ENCODE projects have supported the claims of ID- the specification runs deep."

    supporting a claim is one thing, generating new science is another. And according to you "specification" is "it makes proteins". LOL.

    ID cured many genetic conditions lately? No.

    Is ID likely to help come up with any cures in the future? No.

    Is ID helping expand our knowledge of DNA and how life works? No.

    So if you are happy with general claims that anybody can make being supported then I guess ID is the thing for you!

     
  • At 2:20 PM, Blogger Joe G said…

    And teh design inference will generate new science- ie the questions you keep asking that have nothing to do with ID- the who and how.

    OM:

    That is ONE specification. And that is because what is required to make proteins.

    ID isn't the current paradigm so it hasn't had a chance.

    OTOH your position hasn't cured anything.

    Absolutely- just as archaeology and forensic science helps come up with answers, so will the design inference.

    Absolutely, and it will do even more once it becomes the accpted paradigm.

    "Stored on pages and disks and personal memory"

    How? How do you take some energy and add information to it?

    I guess this is much the same as asking how the "designer" acted. The designer designs. Information piggybacks onto energy. Don't ask any more questions!

    "energy can't exist without information."

    It's funny but when the opportunity to talk science comes up on the ID side everything goes quiet. I would have thought that given how oppressed you claim that ID ha been you would jump at the chance to stake your claim.

    And of course there's http://www.researchintelligentdesign.org another dead ID site where nothing happens. I guess the Darwinists are oppressing people so much that they can't contribute to a Wiki either.
