    Thank you Tom Nelson for this most timely & quality interview with Prof Will Happer who I'm pleased to have met & had as our guest (with The Climate & Energy Realists of Five Dock, in Sydney Australia on 21st Sept 2023) for dinner on his last night following his recent Tour Down Under with quality presentations of this nature in Perth, Melbourne, Sydney & Brisbane underwritten by Australia's Institute of Public Affairs.
    A true scientist, dedicated to The Scientific Method & one of natures gentlemen. What a pity our political elite, who in the main, are a bunch of absolute 'no nothings' when it comes to real climate science, pay no heed to Prof Happer's clear, easy to understand, layman's explanation surrounding the claimed 'climate catastrophe' - not!

    Under the Clean Air Act, this grants the EPA the authority to regulate "pollution". It also grants the EPA to define what is, and is not, "pollution". We can immediately see the conflict here. The EPA has defined CO2 as a pollution, and therefore, under the Clean Air Act, they now have the authority to regulate it. This is the only reason CO2 has been called "pollution" when it clearly is not. This is a tragic and very dangerous fault in the Progressive style of government: where federal agencies are created, filled (not elected) with "experts", who then are free to make sweeping rules and regulations with exactly zero oversight from Congress and, therefore, no input from We The People who elect and send people to Congress to speak for us. Same has happened with the FDA, CDC, HHS, OSHA, IRS, FCC, et al. This further erodes the significant of elections, and promotes a gridlocked Congress as they no longer need to pass laws, as the Fed Agencies do it for them. Hillsdale College has a free course that explains this all very well. Thomas Sowell is also a good instructor. Thanks.

Most seemed to think it was between 5 and 9%!! .. They didn’t seem to understand when they were told it was in fact 0.04%. And these are the people making the decisions on all this. The most depressing thing was that it would be reasonable to think that they would have taken the time to inform themselves….but they hadn’t bothered!

    In brief: They were a 400 years tardy, late, reaction to the rapid and brutal conquests of Islam, which in the end, devoured 3/4 of what was originally Christendom.
    Tom can respond to me about links, scholarly books, videos, etc., about the subject.
    I'd be happy to supply them.

      ​@robertmartin7202 H2O positive feedback is a myth that doesn't occur in reality. It is basically an increase in water vapor in response to an increase in temperature, not in response to the CO2 itself, correct? Well, if H2O multiplies 3x heat to the heating created by more CO2 molecules, then H2O would, just the same, multiply 3x heat to the heating created by more H2O molecules. (H2O doesn't care what molecule created the heat it is responding to.) So if it responds to the extra heat created by either more H2O or more CO2, it in turn will create 3x more heat. Which in turn will create more water vapor. Which in turn will create 3x more heat. On and on. That positive feedback loop doesn't happen because there is a natural limit. That natural limit exists whether the initial trigger for warming was an increase in CO2 or an increase in water vapor. I can think of several weather phenomena that balance the system, but Happer said it best. Nature fights against positive feedback loops.

      @@robertmartin7202 Let me explain. CAGW claims a 1C rise from CO2 becomes a 3C rise due to water vapor amplification. Well, that theory means H2O responds to a 1C rise by creating a 2C rise of its own. So the system is now 3C hotter. I am saying that, in turn, means H2O will see a new 1C+1C+1C increase. So it will respond by creating a 2C+2C+2C rise of its own. And so on. H2O is not a genius molecule that can distinguish between heat created from a CO2 molecule vs. heat created from an H2O molecule. So I can only conclude that H2O amplification of CO2 effect is a myth, since it intrinsically contains the inevitable result of runaway warming. If you say no, there is a natural braking mechanism, I will just say that the brakes are always on, and H2O amplification has been a myth since earth ascended out of the Ice Age.

    Here's my first guess, at 37:00, as to where this might be going.
    If doubling CO2 reduces the emission to space by 1%, to restore the net energy flux to zero, I'd say σT^4 has to increase by 1%, therefore T has to increases by 0.25%. Taking T around 300K, this corresponds to global heating of about 0.75K (or 0.75°C).

    The barn analogy is good but I prefer the curtain analogy where you put curtains up to block light from a window and it blocks 90% of the light. If you put up a second set of curtains you will only block 90% of the remaining 10% of light that got through so it only blocks 9%. And a third curtain will only serve to block 0.9%.

      CO2 levels have been MUCH higher in the past. But what has happened to all that CO?
      It has been consumed by plants and turned into oil and coal.
      It has been consumed by animals and turned into marble and other minerals.
      The WORLD has been on a climate emergency because the natural world has been consuming CO2 and reducing the amounts needed for plants to live!
      Fortunately, oil and coal companies have ridden to the rescue over the past couple of centuries and have been adding to CO2 levels needed for the survival of plants, and thus animals as well.
      And oil and coal companies have done this WITHOUT CHARGING for their very valuable services!

      plants live then die, the co2 is cyclical in this case. co2 is low due to sea creatures (Coccolithophores) combining it with calcium to make shells. these fall to the sea floor and are compressed into rock, like limestone. also the carbon that became coal and oil.

      Emission height (from which the IR emitted by the greenhouse gases escapes to space) increases with increasing greenhouse gas concentrations. That decreases the temperature of many of those molecules that emit to space, reducing the amount emitted until the new emission heigh temperature rises to a new equilibrium with the absorbed insolation.

      'Since the 1970s, results from radiative transfer models unambiguously show that an increase in the carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration leads to an increase of the greenhouse effect. However, this robust result is often misunderstood and often questioned. A common argument is that the CO2 greenhouse effect is saturated (i.e., does not increase) as CO2 absorption of an entire atmospheric column, named absorptivity, is saturated. This argument is erroneous first because absorptivity by CO2 is currently not fully saturated and still increases with CO2 concentration and second because a change in emission height explains why the greenhouse effect may increase even if the absorptivity is saturated. However, these explanations are only qualitative. In this article, we first propose a way of quantifying the effects of both the emission height and absorptivity and we illustrate which one of the two dominates for a suite of simple idealized atmospheres. Then, using a line-by-line model and a representative standard atmospheric profile, we show that the increase of the greenhouse effect resulting from an increase of CO2 from its current value is primarily due (about 90%) to the change in emission height. For an increase of water vapor, the change in absorptivity plays a more important role (about 40%) but the change in emission height still has the largest contribution (about 60%)."

    Sea water is water with dissolved a variety of salts, most sodium chloride. If you measure the alkalinity then it averages PH 8.2 , depending on the temperature.
    Sampling that water and warming it up to the boil, in a desalination machine, copious amounts of CO2 will be released, which must be pumped out to allow condensation in the up to 40 stages of the desalination heat exchangers. After removal of the CO2 the alkalinity is PH 11. Which means a huge amounts of CO2 where dissolved in the ocean before this deaeration
    pumping.
    This difference in alkalinity corresponds to 92 % of all CO2 are dissolved in the Ocean, far more than all CO2 in the air.
    All human caused CO2 are a negligible amount .

    (1) Regarding epsilon, ε, in the Stefan-Boltzmann calculation: climate alarmists use a value of 1 for earth. They treat earth as a black body. Dr Happer quoted a value of ε = 0.7; which is much lower than my estimate. For example, earth's surface is 70% covered with water. I'm told the emissivity of water is 0.96. That led to my estimate ε = 0.92.
    Is there a a good paper which explains how to average earth's emissivity?
    (2) I watched Tom Shula's presentation on the Pirani gauge showing - for a body immersed in a gas - convection dominates cooling at 288C - not radiation. So I researched the Pirani gauge and found that (at the temperatures typically employed ~ 100C ),
    - for pressures above 2 Torr convection dominates cooling,
    - between 0.02 Torr and 1 Torr conduction dominates and
    - below 0.01 Torr radiation dominates.
    Earth's surface atmospheric pressure is about 760 Torr.
    The results of the Pirani gauge put a huge question mark over Dr Happer's appliance of the Stefan-Boltzmann Law. Given the issue can be resolved by experiment - it's a scandal that experiment has been avoided.
