Solar Storm Dumps Gigawatts into Earth's Upper Atmosphere

[Subdeacon Joe]

For the three day period, March 8^th through 10^th, the thermosphere absorbed 26 billion kWh of energy. Infrared radiation from CO₂ and NO, the two most efficient coolants in the thermosphere, re-radiated 95% of that total back into space.

 

 

Gee.....CO₂ and NO are COOLANTS for the atmosphere....I thought they heated it up....

That was then, this is now.

That's because there really is no scientific concensus as the greeies would have you believe, nor do they truely have any understanding of how weather works.

[Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984]

Maybe they keep what's in in, and what's out out.

[G. Wiz, SASS #33962]

As a Ham Radio Operator, I knew it was there.

We are in a Thermos apparently

 

 

Three professors were arguing between themselves as to the greatest invention in the history of man.


The first progfessor argued that controlling fire was the greatest,
since it opened the way for man to rise above the apes. The second
argued that it was the wheel, since it paved the way for man to travel.
The tird insisted it was the internal combustion engine, since it opened
the doors to the industrial revolution.



Finally, in a deadlock, they decided to seek an outside party to help
them decide. The only person available was the old man who cleaned up
the lab every day. After a short debate the agreed the old man would do
so they posed their question to him.



Each professor argued his point passionately. Finally, after hearing
each of their cases the old man stroked his chin thoughtfully and said,
"I don't know, fellers. I really think man's greatest invention was the

Thermos bottle."



"The Thermos bottle!" the professors exclaimed. "How on earth can the
Thermos bottle compare to fire, the wheel or the internal combustion
engine?"



"Well, it keeps hot things hot an' when you put cold things in it it keeps 'em cold".



The professors looked at each other and then to the old janitor said, "Well, OK. It does that. But . . .well . . . so what?"



The old man just shrugged and said, "How do it know?"

Just don't let it hit the flux capacitor, or we'll all be going back in time. Or maybe forward, but my vote would be for back.

This calls for some deep thinking. The old man does have a point.hmmmmm

Is that something related to the innie and outtie stuff?

[Kendoo KId]

Actually global warming is only a phenomenon understood by the most extreme leftist's. The parts of science that really happen are lost on them.

[Rock Hound]

They cool when they are in the Thermosphere, which is in the upper atmosphere (the international space station's orbit is in the Thermosphere).

 

Marshal Mo Hare has it right.
