re: Lordy! Lordy!
You said:
The "vicious attacks" had to do with your claim that manmade radioactive material was significantly warming the planet.
And your claim that depletion of the Earth atmosphere was making some significant affect upon global temperature.
Neither of these two claims is accurate.
You are not being very scientific here, you seem to be accepting RL’s “back of the envelope“ calculations without any proof that those calculations are correct.
What proof do you have that my claims are inaccurate?
RL was mainly talking [screaming] about the significance of any affect any mechanism you were proposing would have. An analogy would be is someone claiming that by lighting a match, one were to noticeably affect the temperature in some room. If the match were instead a pile of wood, that could be a different matter- a match size fire isn't going warm a room by any significant amount. And a million matches in a million rooms will also have little affect [though a million matches in one room could melt steel:]
Your “match†analogy is valid, so lets use it to compare the two types of fires.
Suppose that you were in a large “room†and lit a “match†that had the same burning properties as the uranium that is used in the nuclear power plants.
When you bring the “match†into the room it is already warm [radioactive,] you light it by bringing other warm matches close to it, then all these matches light up and start producing lots of heat, in fact, if they are not cooled by some means they will melt trough the floor of the “room.â€
While these “matches†are burning they create two kinds of “heat,†one is the regular type that all of us are familiar with, the other is far more dangerous, it is powerful enough to change one type of matter into another type.
Everything that comes in contact with this type of “heat†[radiation from nuclear fission] can also become intrinsicly “hot†[radioactive] such intrinsic “heat†remains “hot†for thousands of years and can create deformities in unborn children.
See: http://www.joe-ks.com/archives_jan2004/MissChernobyl2004.htm
If the room is large and the “match†is small and there is only one or two such “matches†in the room, then the effect would be noticeable only in the close vicinity of the flame.
But remember, these matches get hotter as they burn, and the “heat†lasts for thousands of years.
So now if you can tell me how large and how many “matches†there are in this room and how large the room is and how long the matches have been “burning,†then we get some idea of what the situation is at the moment.
Also we may get some idea of how long it will take for this intrinsic heat to become too great for living beings to handle.
The hypothesis that I have presented before is based on the following facts.
1) Radiation of any frequency can impart kinetic energy to molecules. [some better than others]
2) If an object has enough kinetic energy it can escape Earth’s gravitational field.
3) The radiation from radioactive atoms can impart kinetic energy to surrounding atoms.
4) If air is heated it will expand.
5) If the atmospheric density decreases then the wind speeds will increase.
6) The atmosphere has weight.
There are many other facts that play into the hypothesis but if you understand the above laws of nature thoroughly, then you have a good start at understanding why the global changes are happening.
I figure that if a cow can fart and cause the temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere to rise then certainly the many gigawatts of power that is generated around the world should have some effect also.
