When I wrote Do Trenberth and Kiehl understand the First Law of Thermodynamics? I imagined that (almost) no one would have a problem with the model created. Instead, I thought perhaps some might question its relevance to climate. It was a deliberate choice to use conduction to demonstrate the point – the reason is that radiation [...]

Interesting Refutation of Some Basics
Posted in Basic Science, Commentary on November 12, 2010 | 16 Comments »
I while ago I wrote an article - Do Trenberth and Kiehl understand the First Law of Thermodynamics? It could have been very short. “Yes”. However, I did produce an extremely basic model to demonstrate that simple systems with heating “from within” can lead to outcomes that – for many people – are unexpected. A huge [...]
The Three Body Problem

With apologies to my many patient readers who want to cover more challenging subjects. Many people trying to understand climate science have a conceptual problem. I have written (too) many articles about the second law of thermodynamics – the real and the imaginary version. Resulting comments on this blog and elsewhere about those articles frequently contain [...]
Theory and Experiment – Atmospheric Radiation

In New Theory Proves AGW Wrong! I said: So, if New Theory Proves AGW Wrong is an exciting subject, you will continue to enjoy the subject for many years, because I’m sure there will be many more papers from physicists “proving” the theory wrong. However, it’s likely that if they are papers “falsifying” the foundational “greenhouse” gas [...]

And The Woody Guthrie Award Goes To..
Posted in Commentary on November 22, 2010 | 6 Comments »
..Nick Stokes with the Moyhu blog. I received this award some time ago from Skeptical Science, and passing it on is long overdue. The idea is the award gets passed on from blog to blog, to those whom they deem a ‘thinking blog’ Nick has frequently commented on Science of Doom and always makes a great [...]
