The Big Lie

YES one big lie is about how Carbon dioxide acts like a heat pump to continually heat up the gases of the atmosphere like a perpetual motion machine. CO2 becomes saturated with IR radiation then emits at a LOWER frequency. For every collision that heat is exchanged the frequency is lowered greatly so the heat is lost to space. The "concentration of CO2 in layers" does not keep retaining heat but loses it quickly in a ratio of 400/ 10000. No heat is gained from O2 or N2. Every collision CO2 has with other gases, heat is exchanged and the IR frequency is lowered as a result. That is a simple law of the conservation of energy. IR frequency is lowered so it travels less and has much less energy to heat any other gas. It quickly dissipates. The Ecosystems are not threatened by rising CO2 levels, these systems are disturbed by pollutions, loss of habitat, population rise, deforestation and consequent dessication, declining water quality. All these issues are for the most part ignored by the media. The media is concerned about the latest fashion and technology with high hopes that some great breakthrough will arrive for Clean energy to emerge. It is here already for the past one hundred million years. Diatoms in the world's Ocean have forged an alliance with cyanobacteria eons ago to give us Oxygen to breathe. Spectacular blooms of phytoplankton cover many square miles that feed zooplankton and provide the base of a food chain for fish and whales of the deep. Calcium carbonate skeletons protect the phytoplankton symbiotic pair from intense cosmic rays so they can bathe in the photic zone. This gives them an advantage over their predators and bacteria which lack the hard reflective shells. Coccolithophores look like miniature globes floating in the universe of the Ocean. Should we not protect these tiny wonders that make life possible for us to breathe, swim in her water and eat of her bounty. Tiny things like cosmic rays and coccolithophores are easily overlooked and do not make headlines.

Galactic Cosmic Ray guy beats up Bacteria

I have a new theory as yet untested that states that Galactic Cosmic Rays deter bacteria in the upper layers of the Ocean causing them to migrate to deeper waters during a Solar minimum and thereby increase Phytoplankton production. This results in more Cloud production, Cooler Climate, more zooplankton, more fish. The important link is between GCR and bacteria. Bacteria in the Ocean congregate near phytoplankton to assimilate dimethyl sulfide, taking nearly all the product before it can be released into the atmosphere. When the phytoplankton are eaten by zooplankton they release dimethyl sulfide into the sea water to reduce predation, then bacteria congregate. When the Sun is quiet, bacteria are exposed to GCR and their populations are greatly reduced. Coccolithophores with their calcium carbonate shells are protected and thrive in the upper layers where there is more sunlight, populations skyrocket. This results in the food chain multiplying and fish catches peaking. Also the dimethyl sulfide is released into the atmosphere at maximum concentrations resulting in cloud formations and a COOL Climate. So thank COOL Cosmic Ray Guy, he beats up Bacteria so Plankton is happy and then there are lots of Crabby Patties.

Clouds cool the planet

Temperature is a function of the radiation of the Sun incident upon the surface of the planet. Temperature is higher at the equator because of the direct inclination of the planet to sunlight. Temperature will drive relative humidity but clouds require condensation nuclei to form. Forests and phytoplankton that cover many square miles on the planet’s surface intercept the sunlight. In response to the high intensity of radiation, sulfur aerosols are released by the plants to reduce the albedo and protect the plants from Ultraviolet through cosmic rays. If the coverage of plants are reduced then the cloud cover will be reduced and more infrared will be intercepted by carbon dioxide since clouds are missing. So how does the climate change as a result of mankind’s activities? Deforestation and polluting of the ocean can definitely result in heating up the land masses by lessening the cloud cover. Adding more anthropogenic sulfur dioxide and other pollutants certainly is not the answer to cooling. Adding more carbon dioxide will not in itself raise global temperature but it is the best indicator to show mankind’s footprint, pollution and devastation of ecosystems around the globe. A turbulent Sun will protect us from galactic cosmic rays but will had harmful solar cosmic rays and ultraviolet rays. The best way to protect ourselves and conserve resources is Reforestation and Ocean protection. Protect those tiny plankton that produce more oxygen and clouds than all the forests of the world combined. Again tiny organisms like voters stand together to protect the planet from cosmic rays. Before plants evolved these organisms with calcium carbonate shells took in alga to form a symbiotic relationship and forge a dynasty that lasts to this day. Together they form a union , one protects the alga from harmful radiation, the alga photosynthesizes the Sun’s energy to make sugar. Together they produce dimethyl sulfide after lysis by zooplankton. This compound is the primary nuclei for cloud formation. Bacteria assimilate most of this compound, especially when phytoplankton are weak from strong UV radiation.
When the Sun is Quiet during times of low sunspots, more cosmic rays penetrate to the Ocean surface. These are more damaging to bacterial populations than to phytoplankton so their numbers skyrocket, more food for zooplankton and fish. Also with far less bacteria to assimilate DMS, more is released to the atmosphere and more clouds are formed. Much of the theory can be credited to Lovelock and many others besides but I differ in how the planet is regulated. Lovelock thinks the planet is self regulating but I think there is much evidence for regulation from outside the planet, namely the Sun and galactic cosmic rays from supernovas. This is important because it implies the origin of life itself and how it evolved or was created. Creation implies an event from which all things come forth. Evolution implies a continual creation of forms from an unknown origin. It is your point of view but at some point the forms of life change and adapt to adverse factors such as cosmic rays.
