Why carbon dioxide does not cause warming – gas physics from the private sector

The testers monitored the cooling rate of CO2 in lab tests. There are numerous ideas about the role or non-role of radiative gases in the atmosphere, but here’s another angle. Summary: New laboratory tests show carbon dioxide cools rapidly after heating, raising questions about claims that CO2 traps heat in the atmosphere.

Gas physics was discovered and developed by factory engineers who invented gas physics instruments, starting with the American Meter Company’s invention of the gas meter in 1836.

Academia ignored the private sector and did not learn the subject, says James T. Moodey @ Climate Dispatch.

There is no curriculum for gas physics in academia. Engineering and physics classes merely touch upon the subject with centuries-old, misleading postulates such as continuity of energy and thermodynamics.

Professors use these to leap to the conclusion that energy cannot be destroyed, or at least migrates on and on. Thus, they proffer the false theory that gases retain heat from day to day (global warming).

Theoretical gas physics is like theoretical math – it leads to false conclusions. This article offers true gas physics from the private sector.

Energy does not migrate on and on. Kinetic energy (motion) is continuously destroyed in a gravitational field. Put bluntly, a six-year-old can see that a baseball rolls to a stop. Professors say that energy continues in the form of vibration, sound, and/or heat.

All matter, including gases, is affected by gravity. Temperature is a measure of kinetic energy. The definition of temperature is “an indication of the speed that atoms and molecules are moving” [Dorling Kindersley Science Encyclopedia, page 140].

A heat source causes them to accelerate, collide with one another, and when they cool, they slow down. They do not go elsewhere.

Professors skip over this simple truth: the definition of temperature. Temperature simply speeds up and slows down – like the atoms in a mercury thermometer. Any migration of energy ends abruptly, like sand under a rolling baseball.

We need to stop thinking, “It has to cause at least some warming.” No, it doesn’t – obviously it doesn’t. The question we should be asking is, “Why doesn’t CO2 cause warming?” That leads to the proper scientific conclusion: Measure it.

At our Weights and Measures gas-physics test facility, we conducted a test of vaporous (70 percent humidity) atmospheric air, including CO2 and other trace gases therein. The air-CO2 mixture matched actual conditions.

The air-CO2 mixture was isolated in our climate-controlled proving (test) room and heated. Once the heat source was discontinued, the temperature dropped steadily at about one degree Fahrenheit every 32 minutes.

During a typical sunny day, our atmosphere absorbs about 22 degrees Fahrenheit. The vaporous air-CO2 mixture in this test cooled 22 degrees in about 11 hours, 45 minutes. This, by no coincidence, closely matches the cooling rate of our atmosphere.

In our next experiments, we tested pure CO2. We measured the time it took for the CO2 to cool 22 degrees once the heat source was removed.
