in the other thread that also contains the video discussed
in this thread , you asked me to describe the video because
you could not view the video due to your system problems.
you also stated that:
Paul, I don't watch videos such as this, because they often cause my computer to freeze. Plus, I don't think they are "peer-reviewed" or authoritative enough for a science forum.
peer-reviewed?
you must mean only those who allow their minds to accept
the claims that are dictated to them by the propaganda
machine or the IPCC that has been constructed by non scientist and relies on non scientist to further their agenda , because the claims are not constructed by scientist or supported by scientist.
so when you say peer-reviewed you mean reviewed and accepted by
non scientist.
so , I thought I would also post my description here in the
mostly viewed thread.
but theres something that I noticed that you might want to
explain about this physical occurrence.
it is said that the IR light would pass through
the atmosphere to the surface were it not for GHGs
that block or trap the IR , then portions of the IR
is either reflected or absorbed and then re-emitted
by the surface.
correct?
I find it hard to believe that this video does not show
any trace IR heat signatures that should be seen as the
IR is absorbed beyond the glass cylinder and re-emitted back into the cylinder then absorbed by the CO2 and re-emitted downwards as you have said.
there should be a overall glow on the screen from all of
the re-emitted IR that is emitted by the CO2 , but theres no
evidence of re-emission in any direction towards the thermal imaging camera.
re-emission does occur as IR right?
heres my description of the video.
the man in the video has made an experiment that shows how
IR is trapped in the atmosphere by CO2 gas.
the experiments materials consist of:
a thermal imaging video camera. (the surface of the earth)
a candle.( the source of thermal heat )
a sealed glass cylinder that has transparent ends.( the atmosphere)
a bottle of compressed CO2 ( the source of CO2)
a control valve on the CO2 bottle
a tube that leads from the CO2 bottle through the valve and
into the glass cylinder.
a video monitor that is displaying the video feed from the
thermal imaging camera.
the experiment :
the man in the video lights the candle.
he holds the candle to one end of the glass cylinder.
the thermal imaging camera is mounted on the other end of
the glass cylinder.
the glass cylinder is apx 1 meter long and 15 cm in diameter.
he then directs the focus of the video to the monitors display
that shows the white yellow and red thermal heat signatures
of the lighted candle that are picked up by the thermal imaging camera
located at the opposite end of the glass cylinder.
he then opens the valve that allows CO2 to flow into the
glass cylinder and as he does the thermal image of the candle
quickly and fully dissipates and the monitor shows only a cool blue screen.
showing that the CO2 has blocked the thermal portion of the
light emitted by the candle.
