Waterworld

No, I am not going to talk about that turd starring Kevin Costner although his vision of how the Earth ends up is a kernel of my topic. I have skimmed the topic of greenhouse gases to see for myself how they affect the escape of the sun’s warmth. What I have found provides pretty good insight into the cause of weather changes and temperature variations from epoch to epoch.

The amazing thing about greenhouse gases is that the major component of their group is not carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, or the chloro-floro carbons from our aerosol cans. The major contributor to greenhouse gases is the Earth itself. The sun warms the oceans and the resulting water vapor becomes the largest contributor to the mix. Yes, water vapor is the largest component to our global climate villains list. Our burning of fossil fuels has caused an increase in the carbon dioxide levels, but a burst of solar activity would contribute more to greenhouse gas in one day then we would do in a year. Of course you have other contributors to greenhouse such as people breathing, volcanoes, animal flatulence, or burning hydrogen. I don’t hear anyone talking about any of those issues as ways of stopping greenhouse gas emissions.

But the true villain is the sun. It has its own cycles that cause varying amounts of solar radiation to reach the Earth’s surface. The arrogance of a group of pseudo-scientists who want to compare man’s influence on his environment to that of the sun’s effect on global change is like comparing a nitrogen atom to the Himalayan Mountains. Sure there are rocks in the mountains that contain the atom but it has little effect on the entire chain. Our power output is not remotely significant compared to one day of the suns.

What amazes me even more is that hydrogen is touted as the savior for eliminating greenhouse gases. We want to replace our fossil fuels and substitute hydrogen as the fuel of choice. Now for all those versed in chemistry, what happens when you burn hydrogen? You get water. Now what is the biggest component of greenhouse gases? Somehow, these pseudo-scientists think that the average person is truly stupid. If we stop producing carbon dioxide and start producing water, won’t global warming get worse? Right now we have vegetation that consumes excess carbon dioxide. Where will the water go? What a tangled web we weave, when we practice to deceive.
