Postscript (11 April): Breitbart has published a mind-blowing misrepresentation of the Willeit et al. study, in an article titled “Scientists Prove Man-Made Global Warming is a Hoax”. It’s that old non-sequitur “if climate has changed naturally in the past, humans can’t be causing the ongoing global warming.” RealClimate has asked Matteo Willeit to comment. Here is what he wrote: Human CO2 emissions have already so massively disturbed the natural climate cycles that within the last hundred years they have more than undone the previous 5000 years of natural cooling due to the precession cycle, and global temperature is now already higher than at any time in the Holocene and thus the entire history of human civilization. The same model that, in the present study, has been shown to be able to simulate the past 3 million years of natural climate variability also predicts that our CO2 emissions since the industrial revolution were so large that they will disturb the natural ice age cycles for tens of thousands of years to come because of the very long legacy of our fossil CO2 in the atmosphere (Ganopolski et al., 2016).also your hero does not understand "collisional broadening" - with increased CO2 then the quantum frequency absorption coefficiency also increases (the wavelength broadens). https://geosci.uchicago.edu/~rtp1/papers/PhysTodayRT2011.pdf
energy is actually based on frequency, as the foundation of reality, not classical amplitude from symmetric logarithms (as everyone is taught in high school physics). So CO2 works at certain frequency levels to absorb light - just as the Photoelectric effect works. But as more CO2 is added then the rotational energy of the CO2 molecules "overlap" as a phase shift - causing the frequencies to broaden at the "same" pitch. I'll give you an example from music theory - as Fourier analysis is used for nonlinear dynamics. So if 1 is the "root tonic" as C for geometric phase and the octave is 2 as a doubling of frequency - it is still the same PITCH - the same phase. While 3 is the Perfect Fifth, a different frequency, as a phase shift of 3/2 with the geometry as G but 2/3 is ALSO a Perfect Fifth as a phase shift in the opposite direction with the frequency as 2/3. So then G=3=F at the same time. This is called noncommutative phase as explained by music theory. If you want a more fancy rendering of the above just watch Fields Medal math professor Alain Connes lecture on music theory and quantum relativistic science as the truth of reality. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIziuv-WLMM
