This is a very good energy supply plan for the world for the long term, proposed by an engineering expert. Today, many politicians and heads of corporations are focused on special interest gains that have led to poorly designed cities and...
The current controversy over the cause of increasing global temperatures since the middle of the 20th century comes from the IPCC First Assessment Report issued in 1990. Current, reliable evidence shows the Earth has just come through a warm period. It...
the authors concerning the very minor role of atmospheric carbon dioxide in warming the planet. See more articles by Douglas Lightfoot and Gerald Ratzer, click here.
The temperature recorded by AccuWeather includes all the local physical effects from latitude, elevation, Sun angle, Sun's variability, proximity to oceans and lakes, clouds, any recent volcanic action, as well as the interaction of the 99% non-GHG...
Plants make our food and oxygen. Plants take CO2 and water into their cells. Then, sunlight and chloroophyll, the green coloring matter, convert them into simple sugars and release oxygen to the atmosphere. The plant transforms the simple sugars into...
For over three decades, worldwide R&D expenditure has risen steadily, reaching $1.3 trillion in 2011. Underlying this unprecedented growth is a deeply-held belief that R&D is a prime mover of economic growth. Ironically, despite three decades of...
in 2020, then by 2100 only 8 ppm of human CO2 would remain in the atmosphere. Siimon Aegerter, Eric Jelinski and Douglas Lightfoot offer comments from different perspectives.
The psychrometric mathematical model of the Earth's atmosphere accurately separates the warming effects of carbon dioxide (CO2) and water vapor. The methodology uses empirical data to show that the warming effects of CO2 and water vapor are...
The data show water vapor is one thousand to seven thousand times more effective at warming the atmosphere than CO2. The warming effect of CO2 is linear with concentration. CO2 is above its boiling point, and the relationship is linear. Water vapor is...
Douglas Lightfoot, Mechanical Engineer, Founder, Lightfoot Institute, http://www.thelightfootinstitute.ca: A new study by H. Douglas Lightfoot and Orval A. Mamer finds that the effect of carbon dioxide (CO2) on atmospheric temperature and climate is so...
We constructed the following material to help you in your efforts to bring a rational discussion to the study of climate. There is a need for more people to critically analyze climate policy and news, much of which is misinformation. We hope this...
