An Astrophysicist Argues That Climate Change Modelers Made a Basic Error
Opinion - Interviews with Dr. Naomi Wolf
Dr. Naomi Wolf interviews author and astrophysicist Joseph E. Postma on the greenhouse effect and why, in his view, climate change is “sophistry”.
I had only beginning Earth Sciences and I heard both sides of the climate change theories. That green house effect never made sense to me and Joseph Postma says what I learned that makes sense. I actually owned a greenhouse once and know the difference between what he's saying and supposed greenhouses creating gas that heats it. Not in my greenhouses!
Also I'm old enough to remember in the 1950s when it was cold and the psuedo scientists claimed it was the start of a cooling period and we should expect an ice age. That did not make sense either. So when this one came up I almost laughed.
Naomi please consider an interview with Tony Heller , he has made an in depth history of the weather news , and it’s bombastic headlines over the past century .
The earths climate changes PERIOD.
The notion that what humans breath out is toxic , is anti human . Maybe they should have picked on urine , at least we only pee 3-4 times a day ( instead of breath out CO2 18 times a min ) . But wait , urine too is plant food .
My first life as an Aerospace Engineer , required massive study of Physics . Joseph is correct , Climatologist , have nill course work in the High math sciences .
Climatologist speak of a Green house , or blanket, effect of CO2 . As if it creates this layer holding something in. How can it be a diffused and trace gas and be a blanket or like a pane of glass . At least water , forms layers with a difference in transparency and reflection to light. In fact water vapor (clouds ) have a massive effect on daily air temperatures .
The earth is 2/3 oceans . We have only 20 years of ability to do tempreture measurements of the Oceans and of that , only it’s surface . What kind of huberous would claim to understand the history of the earths temperature over the history of man with only 20 yrs of information of the top inch of our oceans .
One more poetic point about ignorance of Physics . As you are aware , an ice skater increases or decreases their rate of spin by increasing or decreasing the distance their mass is from the axis of spin. This observation is defined in the Physics of “conservation of momentum” ... From Newtonian mechanics of motion .
How is the diameter of the Earth going to change (sea level ) with out changing the spin ( day ) of the earth. Next time you are around a hard core and educated climatologist , ask if they have that calculation . We are able to measure our days to the millisecond with atomic clocks.
I enjoy your work , honesty , and true liberal approach to life . We need to defang the grifters and their sleep walkers .
