These vast water vapor plumes across Antarctica (mentioned in a WUWT article) accompanied by record ice levels, are further evidence that the greenhouse gas water vapor cools rather than warms. So too does the 0.04% of the atmosphere which is carbon dioxide. I agree with Roy Spencers post about the fact that this CO2 hoax is costing lives and enforcing poverty even upon many families in developed countries. Ive said that many times. Australia has just diverted $200 million from humanitarian aid to carbon dioxide aid - just as I predicted would happen years ago. So why is it that some people dont seem prepared to study the real thermodynamics which clearly shows why water vapor and carbon dioxide cool rather than warm? Our group (all having physics degrees) all agree with the fact that there is downward convective heat transfer that is carrying out the process described in statements of the Second Law of Thermodynamics. (The hot to cold corollary of the Second Law only applies if potential energy does not change and thus alter entropy.) Now that it is explained in English and German on our website whyitsnotco2 (run by a group of physicists and being visited by over 1,000 a week) you dont even have to buy my Amazon book Why Its Not Carbon Dioxide After All. The Suns direct solar radiation cannot raise the mean temperature of Earths surface to existing levels. The surface receives a mean of only about 168W/m^2 as per NASA energy diagrams. That could only heat a black body to -40C. There are rocks exposed at the top of Mount Everest where, in mid summer at noon the surface probably receives over 1100W/m^2, but how hot does it get there? The surface is not a black body because it loses energy by non-radiative processes. Hence all the garbage about Earths surface receiving 390W/m^2 (mostly back radiation) to get to 288K is a travesty of physics. Why do people support such a travesty that claims back radiation can help the Sun to raise temperatures? You have to understand the thermodynamics that operate in all planetary tropospheres. I have explained the major breakthrough in physics which does give the right temperatures and explains the required energy flows throughout the Solar System and no doubt beyond. You only have to study two pages on our website.
