As much effort as you put in.The capillary action shown in the video could be said to be a syphon, thus gravity assist. A gravitational impetus can be used as a source of energy in any filter. Capillary action uphill would be creditable as a theory.
So capillary theory is fake your saying?
I tried squeezing tissue and liquid came out.Quote from: Bored ChemistIf capillary action made water run uphill...That's what trees do - a fine capilliary in the trunk raises the water quite high, and transpiration does the rest...
But it uses solar power to drive the water cycle.
Mars too has an atmosphere of 95% CO2 yet has a temperature of around 200K. Admittedly its atmospheres mass is only 0.5% of Earth's but its surface area is 1/4 that of Earth's.Quote from: DeecartI even heard that when CO2 ppm reach some high value it will have the opposite effect of an greenhouse gaz.The atmosphere of Venus is 95% CO2, and the surface temperature is a whopping 467 °C, or 872 °F.
That doesn't sound like the opposite of a greenhouse effect to me (even allowing for the fact that Venus is closer to the Sun than the Earth).

Your doctor, with his white jacket, and glasses at the end of his nose, looks at you and says you're dying of ALS or penis cancer or whatever, what fun thing would you insist on doing before your eternal dirt nap?3 gallon bucket, plastering bucket, galvanised bucket, kentucky chicken bucket, mop bucket, paste bucket, champagne bucket, window cleaners bucket, red bucket, Charlie Bucket.
.Again you are diverting from the point I made initially, lack of moisture means temperatures are higher. Rainfall cools things down. Water evaporating cools things down. Please read things more carefully rather than reading what you want it to say. I am unwilling to ceede my point to a statement about something else.
I will repeat this one more time and then drop it since you seem completely unable to comprehend this simple fact; high temperatures are not required for a drought, all that is required is abnormally low precipitation.
The summer of 2018 was the UK's second-warmest - shared with 1995 - since 1884. The hottest was in 1976.https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-61825371.amp
In the Southern US: The rain will cool things down or The rain will cool things off. I always say the second one.
You seem to be avoiding the point.Please evail yourself with evaporative cooling.Do you think that has something to do with this discussion?
Please evail yourself with evaporative cooling.Lack of moisture means temperatures are higherNo, this is not that difficult. Lack of moisture means lack of moisture. High temperature makes droughts worse, but high temperatures are not a requirement for a drought.
Mankind will be forced to relocate between ice ages, global warming is not at the speed of a tsunami or even costal erosion, it is very slow in mankind's time frame. Relocation is relocation, it is not difficult to understand. As you know I believe fossil fuels will end with a cold contraction that will happen almost immediately, unlike ice ages that happen slowly. We have 50 years worth of fossil fuels left, once expended there is no going back.Furthermore there is not a thing man can do about the ice age cycles anyhoo so catagoricaly sometime in the future makind will have to migrate, catagoricaly.Man-made global warming is not about the fluctuations in climate associated with the ice ages. It is about the short term human induced climate effects that we are currently seeing. Why is this distinction so difficult for you to understand?
Lack of moisture means temperatures are higher, dry air is easier to heat. That is simple physics. Moisture in the soil cools the air, the latent heat is the device. Rain always cools things down, evaporative cooling has been used for millennium. Over a space like california, the irrigation of dry land and desert is enough to seriously alter weather patterns.you cannot have drought in these places without an increace in temperature (very simple physics).That is quite simply false. Droughts are due to low rainfall.
The landmass es to the north are huge and sparsely populated, the only thing that keeps them sparsely populated is the weather. California isn't popular because of its witty banter.Sea level rise due to heating will be outpaced by the rate of house construction. Houses are built with a 60 year time frame in mind.Seriously?? Your answer to global warming is don't sweat it, just move inland?
The present temperature is almost exactly what you would expect it to be if you had no other information than the Vostok ice cores. Yes, there has been a rapid increase in recent history but nothing unprecedented in the geological record or out of the geological time sequence. There has also been a rapid increase in human population and activity, but it is still a one-way correlation.What is the margin for error in the ice cores? It is very simple to give ice core data without accounting for any alterations over time whilst they where compressed. On the one hand vostok ice cores support the CO2 hypothesis, yet sediment cores and tree rings do seem to alude to periods of drought in very recent history, you cannot have drought in these places without an increace in temperature (very simple physics).
.Sea level rise due to heating will be outpaced by the rate of house construction. Houses are built with a 60 year time frame in mind.Let's face it global warming just means siberia and Canada will develop a pleasant climate.I live pretty far north so yeah it is kind of nice to have warmer weather. It is rather unfair for the billions that will have their homes under water though, if nothing is done.
That temperatures have fluctuated.Oh gosh no. It is my belief that when man stops using fossil fuels we will cause a catastrophic cooling event and the water cycle will freeze us, the earth is running on the midnight oil we will have no wiggle room. I predict famine war and pestilence as the earth freezes, the future will look like zombies with snow on. Let's face it global warming just means siberia and Canada will develop a pleasant climate.
Normalise - to return to the normal or usual situation
So your belief is that the current temperature rise will reverse and the earth will cool back down with no change in man's activity concerning greenhouse gasses. Is that a correct description of your position?
Because you said it was an anomoly.Oh.
Yes, it is an anomaly caused by human activity. This temperature anomaly will continue to increase as long as our current activity of pumping greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere continues. If we were to suddenly stop dumping greenhouses gasses into the atmosphere the global temperatures would begin to decrease after some time.
That statement is dangerously ambiguous Evan.Quote from: opIs global warming man-made?I would say that women played a large part in it, too...
