SCIENTIST
FIRED BY UNIVERSITY FOR EXPOSING TRUTH ON CLIMATE FRAUD
Written by John O'Sullivan
Highly qualified and well-respected professor, academic
teacher and climate scientist, Murry Salby has been performing important and
groundbreaking research exposing myths about the so-called "settled
science" around greenhouse gases and their impact on climate. Uniquely,
his work is based solely on empirical evidence rather the dubious ideological
whims of post-normal climate 'science'. Other leading researchers have
validated his findings and, as such, Salby is now very much a thorn in the side
of promoters of man-made global warming alarmism.
For simply pursuing the truth, as any good scientist should
do, Salby has been fired by his employer, the University of Macquarie,
Australia.
This is despite the fact Macquarie University had originally
appointed Salby as their Chairman of Climate Science. He is a scientist of such
repute that he has held visiting professorships at Paris, Stockholm, Jerusalem,
and Kyoto, and he’s worked at the Bureau of Meterology in Australia.
Principia Scientific International (PSI) is so horrified and
angered by the retaliation of pro-green anti-scientist administrators at
Macquairie University that we have secured a generous donation from our
publisher, Stairway Press, to sponsor Professor Salby's visit, if he agrees, to
London in October to make a high profile public presentation of this attack on
science.
As such, PSI and other supporters of traditional scientific
methods will ensure this outrageous attack on an honorable researcher will be
exposed at a key British climate science gathering.
Below is Professor Salby's outline of the backstory of his
victimization proving that essential academic freedoms in Australia are being
supplanted by unprincipled self-serving promoters of Big Green.
ON FIRST PRINCIPLES OF HEAT TRANSFER
Written by Alan
Siddons
How surreal climate concerns look when you examine modern
assumptions ("the settled science") on the basis of first principles
like conductive, convective and radiative heat transfer, specific heat (where
water is king) and density.
Yes, my view of what factors influence the earth’s
temperature is 180° from the consensus greenhouse theory.
In my view the earth’s surface can do nothing except heat
the air that surrounds it and thus be cooled in turn. Yet the prevalent opinion
is all about how air heats the surface. To me, this is surreal.
The following collection of quotations could be thought of
as refuting the IPCC story of "back-radiation”. But it’s mostly just a collection of what
academic and engineering sources have to say about heat transfer, i.e., the
conditions by which Body A is able to raise Body B’s temperature. Quite simply,
if A is radiating 100 watts per square meter at B and B is radiating 50 at A,
heat transfer follows a one-way path from A to B — B alone gets hotter and no
"mutual heating" occurs.
So the assertion that A (the earth’s surface) gets hotter by
thermally exciting B (IR-reactive gases) is a meaningless statement. Since the
2nd law prohibits this, "radiative forcing" by IR-reactive gases is
entirely a product of imagination, a complete reversal of cause and effect.
Moreover, if the focus of earth’s temperature then turns to
heat RETENTION rather than heat GAIN, the FIRST thing to investigate is a
substance called water, which covers 70% of our planet, is 800 times denser
than sea-level air, and is FAMOUS for retaining heat! Solids are roughly 2000
times more dense than air and so must also be considered.
1. Professor M. Quinn Brewster, University of Illinois:
Thermal Radiative Transfer and Properties
Like conduction, thermal energy is in harmony with the
second law of thermodynamics such that, in the absence of work, thermal energy
is radiated spontaneously from higher temperature to lower temperature matter.
2. Heat transfer
Thermal energy flows from higher temperature to lower
temperature. This process is called heat transfer.
There are three ways heat flows:
heat conduction,
convection, and
thermal radiation.
RECYCLING OF HEAT IN THE
ATMOSPHERE IS IMPOSSIBLE
Written by Nasif S.

Introduction
Some diagrams on the Earth’s energy budget depicts an
exchange of energy between the surface and the atmosphere and their subsystems
considering each system as if they were blackbodies with emissivities and
absorptivities of 100% [1, 2]
This kind of analyses show a strange “multiplication” of the
heat transferred from the surface to the atmosphere and from the atmosphere to
the surface which is unexplainable from a scientific viewpoint. The authors of
those diagrams adduce that such increase of energy in the atmosphere obeys to a
“recycling” of the heat coming from the surface by the atmosphere [1, 2] as if
the atmosphere-surface were a furnace or a thermos.
However, such “recycling” of heat by the atmosphere does not
occur in the real world because of the causes that I will explain latter in
this paper.
Few authors have avoided plotting such unreal recycling of
heat and only show the percentages related to the flow of energy among systems
and subsystems [3, 4]
We do know that serious science makes a clear distinction
between heat and internal energy. However, we will not touch this abnormal
definition of heat from those erroneous diagrams [1, 2] on the annual Earth’s
energy budget.
In addition to the wrong concept of heat that the authors
let glimpse in their articles [1, 2] the recycling of heat by the atmosphere
does not and cannot occur in the real world. There are many physical factors,
already proven experimentally and observationally [5], that nullify the ideas
on the recycling of heat by the atmosphere.
The principal physical factor that inhibits the recycling of
heat in the atmosphere is the degradation of the energy each time it is
absorbed and emitted by any system [10].
This degradation of energy is well described by the second
law of thermodynamics [6,] whose fundamental formulation is that the energy is
always dispersed or diffused from an energy field with lesser available
microstates towards the field with higher available microstates. [5]
In other words, the energy is always dispersed or diffused
from the system with a higher energy density towards the system with a lower
energy density. [5, 10]
The purpose of this essay is to demonstrate that some
evaluations 1, 2 on the Earth’s annual energy budget are not considering the
laws of basic physics and thermodynamics…..

CO2 Absorption Spectrum
There is no Valid
Mechanism for CO2 Creating Global Warming.
Proof one: Laboratory
measurements show that carbon dioxide absorbs to
extinction at its main
peak in 10 meters under atmospheric conditions.* This means
there is no radiation
left at those frequencies after 10 meters. If then humans
double their 3% input of
CO2 into the atmosphere, the distance of absorption
reduces to 9.7m. A
reduction in distance is not an increase in temperature.
Convectional currents
stir the heat around removing any relevance for distance.
Scientists who promote
the global warming hype try to work around this fact by
claiming something
different happens higher in the atmosphere, which they claim
involves unsaturation.
The difference due to height is that the absorption peaks get
smaller and sharper, so
they separate from each other. Near the earth's surface, the
absorption peaks for
water vapor partially overlap the absorption peaks for CO2.
Supposedly, in some
obfuscated way, separating the peaks creates global warming.
There is no real logic to
that claim. It is nothing but an attempt to salvage global
warming propaganda through
obfuscation of complexities.
What it means is that
climatologists admit there is no mechanism at lower
levels of the atmosphere,
and their rationalization for higher up is phony.
It's important to realize
that radiation from the sun does not greatly heat the
atmosphere, because the
sun must give off high frequency radiation in the area of
visible light, which goes
through the atmosphere. Something as hot as the sun
cannot give off low
frequency radiation, called infrared. This means that the sun's
radiation heats the
surface of the earth, and then the heat moves from the earth's
surface into the
atmosphere through conduction, convection, evaporation and
infrared radiation. The
infrared radiation can be absorbed by so-called greenhouse
gasses.
The Absorption Peaks
Carbon dioxide absorbs
infrared radiation (IR) in three narrow bands of frequencies,
which are 2.7, 4.3 and 15
micrometers (µM). This means that most of the heat
producing radiation
escapes it. About 8% of the available black body radiation is
picked up by these
"fingerprint" frequencies of CO2.
