In today's episode of "The Greenhouse Effect Has Never Been Experimentally Demonstrated", we present:

Our very own experiment showing that greenhouses, unlike many believe, do not work according to the greenhouse effect!

This misconception has carried on for far too long! 👇🧵Image To recap, a greenhouse stays hot the same way a car parked in the sun does. The sun warms the interior surfaces and objects; these heat the air in turn; the air rises and is physically prevented from escaping by the glass.

I've been reading the IPCC's latest assessment report (), and it's actually disturbing just how deceptively they set up their "proof" that carbon dioxide causes global warming. It completely flips causality on its head!

A quick 🧵👇ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg1…Image Chapter 7, Executive Summary
They outline the whole idea here. Changes like CO2 emissions perturb "Earth’s top-of-atmosphere energy budget".

This is the budget that has the surface emitting 3x more energy than it gets from the Sun.

A common response to the simple fact that an object can't heat itself up with its own heat and so the greenhouse effect's back-radiation can't cause warming is:

"But it must! Where else would it *go*? Energy is conserved!"

Yet seeing how it's (not) measured is eye-opening 👇🧵Image Backradiative infrared radiation is measured using a device called a pyrgeometer.

With some reading we see that it's essentially a thermopile with various coverings and other sensors.

The history of the discovery of Ohm's Law is very relevant to today's climate debate.

It shows that the core dispute is actually a philosophical one - rationalism vs. empiricism.

Rationalists were wrong then about circuitry and are wrong now about the greenhouse effect. 🧵👇Image What are the two sides?

"Rationalism" is not about being rational per se, but rather the belief that knowledge ultimately comes from nothing other than reason itself.

Thus, the validity of an idea ultimately comes from whether that idea is logical and self-consistent.

One of the main problems with the hypothesized greenhouse effect is that it *violates the laws of thermodynamics*!

The debate on this has raged endlessly, yet it is actually *rather simple to grasp*.

Thread below 👇🧵Image As a starting point, consider sensate reality.

Have you ever personally witnessed a situation where bringing a cold object closer to a hotter object, caused that hotter object's temperature to increase?

Actually consider this in your own life. Some examples follow...

The greenhouse effect is said to be so strong that the Earth *would be a frozen ball without it*.

Yet this assertion relies on math that *treats the Earth like a flat disk* that receives *only 1/4th the sunlight*.

Fact, or calculus/geometry fail?

Dig in 👇🧵
Image For the full derivation, follow the quoted post.

The issue revolves around the fact that the strength of the sunlight actually reaching Earth is 1360 W/m^2...

Yet the value used for getting a supposedly-frozen Earth is 340 W/m^2, four times less!

It is well-known that the greenhouse effect *is a misnomer* - actual greenhouses do not work this way.

What is overlooked is the fact that they do not is *direct evidence against the strength of the greenhouse effect*!

Follow along... 👇🧵
Image The misunderstanding of how greenhouses work directly (mis-)informed Arrhenius's hypothesis about the effect of greenhouse gases on the atmosphere.

In the introduction to his renowned 1896 paper he gives the mistaken explanation ().

We have now seen that the greenhouse effect is predicated on a *mathematical discrepancy* caused by *grossly unphysical assumptions*.

Next, we will see how the proposed mechanism *ignores basic properties of matter* overlooking *most of the atmosphere*.

Let's dig in... 👇🧵 To recap, we found that climate scientists modelled the Earth equivalently with a flat disk twice as far from the Sun as in reality.

This gave a value of -18°C for the Earth's temp.

They brought in the greenhouse effect to cover the gap to +15°C.

As we have shown, the IPCC models of higher CO2 levels yielding higher surface temps have *never been experimentally validated*.

But it gets worse! They are based on 1D models of an unrevolving flat Earth *that violate the very laws of physics*.

A thread... 👇🧵
Image We start at the latest state of climate science, the IPCC AR6 ().

The models are based on a conceptual "energy budget". CO2 provides a "radiative forcing" to this budget which causes higher temps.

Details in the quoted post.

A common reply to presenting the fact that the greenhouse effect has never been experimentally proven is that CO2 absorbs IR, or to refer to the works of Foote or Tyndall.

Yet this IR-absorption property *is not* the GHE and *does not* prove it.

🧵A thread...

Image To grasp this one needs to grasp what the GHE actually is.

Interestingly, the AR6 SYR () defines greenhouse gases, but not the GHE itself!

It provides a hint, though: IR-absorption is a property that *causes* the GHE, thus it is not itself the GHE.

What does it mean to validate a theoretical model?

A thread... 👇🧵

The core principle is that of *experimental validation*.

A model or theory can say anything, but, *unless validated by experiments*, there is no factual reason to believe it is true or valid.

1/ This is basic Physics 101. The Physics I textbook by Erhan Gülmez & Zuhal Kaplan covers the topic adequately ().

First comes observation, then a model, and finally the models are **tested through experiments**.

The core premise of the AGW hypothesis is higher CO2 levels --> to higher global temperatures.

Yet this is *completely unsupported* by any experimental evidence!

Worse, it is ultimately only validated *by circularly assuming* the premise is true!

A thread... 👇🧵
Image We start with the latest publication at time of writing, the IPCC AR6.

In Chapter 7 (…) they summarize how higher CO2 levels lead to higher equilibrium temperatures.

Climate is affected by perturbations to the 'energy budget', quantified by ERFs.
