. Peter Peter, calm down.
I think you should go and get your dusty old Resnick and Halliday, bin it, and get a copy of Halliday and Resnick and start reading it. Firstly I agree the planet is warming, the sea level plot I showed several posts ago shows that, I used it as a proxy for temperature rise.
. The question I asked was what role did CO2 play in that 150 metre sea level increase. Well it increased also, by a factor of 2. The big question is what made the CO2 increase it was thousands of years before the industrial revolution.
. The next plot I posted showed about 8 to ten such events over about 800 thousand years. What caused those? not humans burning coal.
. The other thing you might get out of Halliday and Resnick is the role that water vapour plays in the greenhouse effect. CO2 is a very narrow band absorber of infrared, 667 nm only. Water vapour is very broad band absorber, it also behaves differently when it is water droplets (some forms of cloud)or ice(other forms of cloud).
. Finally, when the sea temperature increases the dissolved CO2 comes out of solution into the atmosphere. This can be seen in ice core analysis and shows that CO2 increase lags temperature by as much as 800 years.
. By the way, the so called climate scientists with the IPCC are mostly computer modelers, and their predictions have been woefully in error.
. Sorry about the science but it all I've got
