Understanding Climategate: Who's Who – a video

between 13.5 and 16 microns is the answer, with a peak of 15 microns
That is for one molecule of c02 just as any other molecule. There are 3000 other molecules apart c02 in th esame voume of air so the chances of one c02 molecule colliding with another are quite thin, and the equalisation thermslisation is quite small for the vibration. On average at 15C radiation leaves earth at 10 microns which gives a clear exit of radiation without being absorbed by c02, so c02 is most active in the mid-upper troposphere, as it does little at the surface. When put against temperatures ranging from -30C to -70C however that is precious little energy for c02 to absorb. Since the energy that c02 absorbs is fixed by the 1st 100ppm, climatologists had to invent a cascade theory, since extra c02 doesn’t add extra heat – meaning that the energy inthe system is constant, and absorbed overhead, it percolates back down to earth. At this point however, its thermally equal to subzero, so not a fraction of extra energy is added below.
c02 excitation is quite a rare phenomenon in the atmosphere and a co2 molecule doesn’t have the energy to cause other molecules to vibrate. If we were in a warming world, then c02 would absorb even less heat, as the atmosphere would move further away from teh 1 micron wavelength.
It’s a bold statement to say that doubling c02 would not give even an extra fraction of added energy anywhere in the atmosphere due solely to these windows, though as it stands the efefct of c02 is so miniscule that it hasn’t actually, and can’t be measured.

After reading just a few emails, its abvious that Briffa didn’t believe tree rings telling a complete climate picture, and even a little contetemps with Mann followed. However, he wielded to his senior, Jones, and the demands of Mann. Briffa expressed that the demands of science and those of the IPCC are not the same.

When I first became aware of “Climategate”, I Remember my late Mum used to say to us kids:-
” Don’t tell lies, I always know when you’re lying, and one lie leads to another, eventually no one will believe anything you say”.
How right she was, after watching this video, only one word comes to mind “Nuremberg”.

What’s up with the line that says that Phil Jones received £2,725,000 in grants since 1990? Shouldn’t that be £13,718,547 (~$22,630,526 at today’s exchange rate)? That is what the grant amounts total up to on the pdj_grant_since1990.xls spreadsheet.

Just noticed my “who’s Who” video got used by the Examiner. http://www.examiner.com/x-25061-Climate-Change-Examiner~y2009m11d28-Climategate-the-video–Whos-who-and-what-was-said
It’s great to see the information getting out and want to thank Anthony once again for posting the video here.
I also want to say that I’m placing the video in the public domain, so that there’s no Copyright, IP, or other barriers to other organizations using the video.
