May be? But is there any place near the North Pole
that does not get down to freezing at any time of year?

Water can melt ice faster than air at the same temperature,
and there are probably a lot of other factors involved.

For instance, a couple of inches of ice on calm water with
a few inches of snow might actually prevent very cold air from
freezing more ice. A house feels much warmer on a real
cold night if there is new snow on the roof, which apparently
slows the loss of heat.

It is things like this that make even the well thought out
weather or climate news articles questionable at best.

Incidently, when I mentioned a dam in the Bering Strait
to stop water flow across the Arctic, it is because I don't think
a dam any place else would be possible, and a dam any place
would stop the flow.
But it would also affect weather/climate in England, western
Europe, Iceland and Greenland.

The contradictory stories about Polar Bears, seals and other
mammals would seem to be enough to cause a reasonable person
to want more and better information before making major financial
decisions. But there are very few people that are able to make
decisions that will have much of an effect, and perhaps none of
them read this newsgroup.

Woo, to think that anyone should modify their 'modern' existence in
any way! Other people are stupid enough to pollute, why shouldn't we?

The current rate of exploitation of carbon fuels is not sustainable
for long, your existence is going to be modified whether you like
it or not. Better plan for the future.

Way too much emotion. If your arguments were persuasive you wouldn't
need to behave like this.

At higher energies you need to look at the appropriate part of the
absorption spectrum. At higher temperatures gases begin to radiate.
But if you watch the ignition sequence on the shuttle main engines, you'll
see the exhaust go transparent after combustion stabilizes. You can look
through the hot, dense gas and clearly see the opposite side of the bell,
which is white hot. The flame is essentially invisible, so it's not
radiating much.

I'm not necessarily saying the numbers are correct, because it would take
too long for me to check them. I think Hyperphysics has a radiative

You might want to browse through hyperphysics, as they will be able to
help you a lot more than I can. It's getting way over my head.

Well let's analyse the basics which clearly prove 'prince' Phil a
charlatan and the other theorists of AGW completely fraudulent in
their theory and in their claim to have any validity at all in physics
or any knowledge whatsoever of gases, temperature, energy or the
subject of their concern.

Pressure and temperature are directly proportional.
Average velocity increases as a square root to the mean kinetic energy
due to 1/2mv^2.
Average velocity and number of collisons in unit time are directly
proportional.
Mean kinetic energy increases directly proportional to temperature as
kT.

So from 300K to 1000K is 700deg temperature increase which is a 233%
increase in temperature and pressure.

Pressure is a product of average velocity x number of collisions. So,,
square root of 1000 - square root of 300 = increase in average
velocity and also increase in number of collisions in a specific time
interval.
31.6 - 17.3 = 14.3,,,14.3 / 17.3 = .8266 or 83%

Average velocity and number of collisons both increase by 83% with
temperature increase from 300K to 1000K.

However, the energy radiating from the piece of metal in the air duct
increases from 460Wm-2 to 56,700Wm-2.
56,700 - 460 = 56,240,, 56,240 / 460 = 122.26 or 12,226%

The energy radiated per second from the metal which is recieving it's
energy through the gas increases by 12,226%.

The average velocity increases by 83%
The number of collisions per time increases 83%
The energy transfered increases by, 12,226% due to the Stefans Law and
the increase of energy as a fourth power to absolute temperature.

It is impossible that the energy is being transfered by the collisons
and kinetic energies of the molecules.

The existence of a radiation field within the gas is entirely proved.
The density of the energy of this field is the determination of
temperature and energy which is transfered. The gas molecules of O2
and N2 absorb the infrared frequencies in order to transfer the
energy. They cannot possibly be tranfering energy by their mechanical
motions as is claimed by the fraudulent theory of 'grenhouse gases'.

The stated theory of the 'grenhouse gases' which entirely depends on
their false idea that O2 and N2 are transparent to infrared
frequencies and that these frequencies are absorbed by specific gases
is complete fraud.

Well let's analyse the basics which clearly prove 'prince' Phil a
charlatan and the other theorists of AGW completely fraudulent in
their theory and in their claim to have any validity at all in physics
or any knowledge whatsoever of gases, temperature, energy or the
subject of their concern.

Pressure and temperature are directly proportional.
Average velocity increases as a square root to the mean kinetic energy
due to 1/2mv^2.
Average velocity and number of collisons in unit time are directly
proportional.
Mean kinetic energy increases directly proportional to temperature as
kT.

So from 300K to 1000K is 700deg temperature increase which is a 233%
increase in temperature and pressure.

Pressure is a product of average velocity x number of collisions. So,,
square root of 1000 - square root of 300 = increase in average
velocity and also increase in number of collisions in a specific time
interval.
31.6 - 17.3 = 14.3,,,14.3 / 17.3 = .8266 or 83%

Average velocity and number of collisons both increase by 83% with
temperature increase from 300K to 1000K.

However, the energy radiating from the piece of metal in the air duct
increases from 460Wm-2 to 56,700Wm-2.
56,700 - 460 = 56,240,, 56,240 / 460 = 122.26 or 12,226%

The energy radiated per second from the metal which is recieving it's
energy through the gas increases by 12,226%.

The average velocity increases by 83%
The number of collisions per time increases 83%
The energy transfered increases by, 12,226% due to the Stefans Law and
the increase of energy as a fourth power to absolute temperature.

It is impossible that the energy is being transfered by the collisons
and kinetic energies of the molecules.

The existence of a radiation field within the gas is entirely proved.
The density of the energy of this field is the determination of
temperature and energy which is transfered. The gas molecules of O2
and N2 absorb the infrared frequencies in order to transfer the
energy. They cannot possibly be tranfering energy by their mechanical
motions as is claimed by the fraudulent theory of 'grenhouse gases'.

The stated theory of the 'grenhouse gases' which entirely depends on
their false idea that O2 and N2 are transparent to infrared
frequencies and that these frequencies are absorbed by specific gases
is complete fraud.
