Mathematical requirement for fractals? Implications for 1/f noise and climate.

Posted on 5 July 2014 by Scottish-Sceptic

Fractal systems all have feedbacks. They all have infinite self-similar states at different scale. As such it seems the fractal nature is caused by the feedback. Therefore I suggest that if P is the probability function of a system describing … 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 →

Skydragons: good physics – appalling PR.

Posted on 4 July 2014 by Scottish-Sceptic

Skydragons were right on the physics, but appallingly wrong on the PR. What they are describing is the greenhouse effect by another name. But by denying the (Noddy) “greenhouse effect”, on climate alarmist sites,  they have done untold damage to … Continue reading →

Reconciling skydragons and mainstream skeptics?

Posted on 3 July 2014 by Scottish-Sceptic

Greenhouse gases, are not so much “trapping” heat, as acting by “tapping” heat. They are acting as a vector (tap) enabling the flow of energy between the adiabatic controlled atmosphere and the IR radiation that eventually leaves the atmosphere. And … Continue reading →

The CO2 Greenhouse effect is real (sometimes)

Posted on 2 July 2014 by Scottish-Sceptic

Note: I’m not going to say anything more than this obviously does not refer to a real glass greenhouse and how it works. I’ve a couple of times heard statements to the effect that the greenhouse effect is not scientific … Continue reading →

Help needed! What's difficult about fractal noise?

Posted on 30 June 2014 by Scottish-Sceptic

I need help. I’ve many times tried to get a discussion going on 1/f noise so that I can understand how to put over this subject so that it is understandable. And let me be blunt, if only I could … Continue reading →

Global Warming disproved: Bad posts, CET, Antarctic Ice and Fractal Noise

Posted on 30 June 2014 by Scottish-Sceptic

I was caught out this morning seeing a graph of Antarctic Ice (unlabelled) which I took to be a plot of the Central England Temperature series. The fact I was confused is proof that that global warming is non-science. So, … Continue reading →
