Natural Variation

Posted on 20 September 2019 by Pict1

Natural Variation Of all the many issues that confuse climate researchers, natural variation, or as they in error call it “error” is one of the most important. Indeed, the very name “error” from “to err” etymologically related to “erracy” or … Continue reading →

The theory that will bring down global warming

Posted on 20 March 2016 by Scottish-Sceptic

The way global warming works is complex and multifaceted, and no single model will encompass all the effects neatly into one package. However there are two simplifications in common use. One (the heat trapping model) presents a view of a … Continue reading →

A complete description of factors affecting global temperature

Posted on 10 March 2016 by Scottish-Sceptic

Following yesterday’s article about lapse rate I was frustrated by what I left out. So as a mental exercise, I set myself the challenge of putting down something about all the major things that affect climate and particularly global temperature. … Continue reading →

Can variations in lapse rate & cloud cover explain ice-age temperature changes and the inter-glacial "hard stop"?

Posted on 9 March 2016 by Scottish-Sceptic

I woke up this morning thinking about the most fundamental issue of climate: If the temperature of the earth is set by the blackbody radiation temperature of the earth … and that is fixed in turn by the sun … … Continue reading →

A complete explanation of the ice-age cycle.

Posted on 9 February 2016 by Scottish-Sceptic

This article is one of a number I’ve been doing developing my ideas on the Ice-age cycle. I will try to summarise the key ideas and explain how they fit. However, with such a complex subject and so many new … Continue reading →

The Advanced Greenhouse theory implies 100m rise in effective top of atmosphere

Posted on 11 November 2015 by Scottish-Sceptic

If you are still one of the people who believe the “Greenhouse theory” of warming, but don’t quite know why it sounds rubbish. Let me recap the advanced theory & the differences (CO2 used to mean all greenhouse gases including … Continue reading →

What is the adiabatic lapse rate of air?

Posted on 3 July 2015 by Scottish-Sceptic

When explaining the greenhouse warming effect, I’ve avoided going into the cause of the adiabtic temperature change of the atmosphere as we get higher and instead used a hand waving argument that expanding air is cooler which has been enough … Continue reading →

Simplified atmospheric model

Posted on 27 November 2014 by Scottish-Sceptic

I want to examine three extreme models of the atmosphere: entirely transparent, entirely opaque and entirely transparent to visible and opaque to IR. From this I will show that the presumed adiabatic lapse through the atmosphere of “33C” must be … Continue reading →

Some thoughts on greenhouse warming

Posted on 25 November 2014 by Scottish-Sceptic

Conclusion: Penn are global warming deniers! And the temperature of the earth is primarily a result of cooling through the adiabatic blanket together with a smaller component of direct cooling. The effect of IR interactive gases like H20 & CO2 … Continue reading →

Advanced Green House Theory

Posted on 5 July 2014 by Scottish-Sceptic

I want to explore how the adiabatic cooling as we move up the atmosphere works with radiant cooling. I hope this post will clarify the concept. However first, the other relevant discussions: In this first post The CO2 Green-house effect … Continue reading →
