[QUOTE="HoolaHoopMan"][QUOTE="Nibroc420"] 1) HoolaHoop has made the assertion that I'm uneducated, I'm curious where he's getting that information from. 2) I'd simply like him to provide evidence for his assertions. 3) Because, again, the burden of proof is on the claimant.Nibroc420
1) Looking at your posting history. Â More specifically this thread.Â
2) Again, this thread.Â
3) I've asked you before in the past how you can possibly consider yourself an authority on climate science. Â You've even gone so far as to tell me "I have no idea what goes on with regards to the climate science community."
So its no surprise that when you sound off as a denier its only legitimate to ask what your educational back ground is. Â (I already know its none).Â
I've never denied climate change :| The Earth is constantly changing it's climates, there are cycles the earth goes through... Please stop trying to straw-man my arguments, and provide evidence for the assertions.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmosphere_of_Venus
the observation of venus has shown some convincing evidence of the greenhouse effect.
here's an article that was in Icarus
A one-dimensional climate model is used to study the response of an Earth-like atmosphere to large increases in solar flux. For fully saturated, cloud-free conditions, the critical solar flux at which a runaway greenhouse occurs, that is, the oceans evaporate entirely, is found to be 1.4 times the present flux at Earth's orbit (S0). This value is close to the flux expected at Venus' orbit early in solar system history. It is nearly independent of the amount of CO2 present in the atmosphere, but is sensitive to the H2O absorption coefficient in the 8- to 12-m window region. Clouds should tend to depress the surface temperature on a warm, moist planet; thus, Venus may originally have had oceans if its initial water endowment was close to that of Earth. It lost them early in its history, however, because of rapid photodissociation of water vapor followed by escape of hydrogen to space. The critical solar flux above which water is rapidly lost could be as low as 1.1S0. The surface temperature of a runaway greenhouse atmosphere containing a full ocean's worth of water would have been in excess of 1500°Kabove the solidus for silicate rocks. The presence of such a steam atmosphere during accretion may have significantly influenced the early thermal evolution of both Earth and Venus.
