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.
