While each of you buy into the insanity that is man-caused global warming and are determined to strip the taxpayer's wallet with expensive, ill-conceived government programs to reduce CO2 emissions and drive us back 100 years, the rest of the sane scientific world has burst the balloon on CO2 as the cause of global warming. One scientist came up with three easy experiments that even a kid could do, to clearly show that CO2 cannot and is not the cause of global warming. But then hey, I know each of you doesn't want to be confused by the facts because it would take away your reason for adding even more controls and regulations on the people you are supposed to serve. However, if you are even remotely interested in the TRUTH, take the time to read the following excerpts from the essay by scientist Marshall Smith. If a middle school kid can do his experiments, maybe you grown ups can, as well. But then .......... I don't know. Politicians tend to think different than normal people.

And those of you in Washington State who have eyes to see and a sense of touch, know very well that the winter of 2007 - 2008 produced one of the coldest average temperatures on record and produced the greatest snow fall in the mountains in years. Newspapers all around the world tell of this winter as being one of the coldest in many decades. In the meantime you folks set out to try and stop us from getting warmer by passing legislation to regulate and control the people even more than they already are. It might lead one to question your motives, if not your sanity.

When will you finally know what almost everyone else knows? Man isn't causing global warming and we don't need a government program to fix a non-existent problem. Ron Ewart (WA)

EXPERIMENT ONE -- FUN WITH KITCHEN SCIENCE

Run to your kitchen and pull out a tray of ice cubes from the fridge. Hold the tray over the kitchen sink vertically and place your other hand about one inch away so your palm is facing the ice cubes. You can feel the cold ice cubes even though you are not touching them. Why? Are the ice cubes radiating cold? No. Nothing radiates cold. Only heat can radiate from a warm spot to a colder spot. What is happening is that the warmth in your hand is radiating toward the much colder ice cubes. As the heat in your hand radiates much faster toward the cold ice cubes it lowers the temperature of your hand and you feel it as cold.

This is a simple experiment in heat radiation, which uses the most basic simple scientific instrument called - your hand. If you are a teacher, let the kids experiment with tilting the ice tray at different angles to eliminate the cold air coming from the cubes, wrapping it in plastic wrap, finding ways to measure the distance of hand to ice, etc. There are many variations which make very nice school science projects, with write ups on taking data, explaining radiation and even methods of taking measurements. But as you will see, it is one of the most powerful and important experiments you can do, since you are learning about using "you" as the scientific instrument.

EXPERIMENT TWO -- YOUR CONNECTION WITH THE UNIVERSE

On a warm summer evening, with no wind or clouds, and only a clear starry night sky, use your "now calibrated" scientific thermometer instrument, your hand, and aim the palm of your hand toward the ground. You don't feel any heat or cold. Now lift the palm of your hand so it faces the sky. Wow, it feels cold. That's because it is very cold way out there in outer space. You are using your own hand to take the temperature of the cosmos. That is your very own cosmic connection to the universe. Do this several times aiming your hand at the ground and then at outer space. Prove for yourself that it is cold out there, just as if you were inches away from an ice cube. You can "touch and feel" the cold of distant outer space just with the palm of your hand. I betcha didn't know that.

For the second part of this experiment, you need to wait for another evening when there is a high cloudy overcast so you can't see the stars. But not a stormy or windy night, just overcast. Then when you repeat the same experiment, as you aim the palm of your hand to the sky, you can't feel any cold. Why? What is happening is that the cloud is blocking all the heat coming from both the earth and your hand and the cloud is reflecting it back to you and the earth. It is also a true fact that it is always much colder on clear starry nights than on overcast nights. The cloud cover causes local warming like a blanket, so you feel warmer. Unless the globe of the world becomes completely surrounded by a thick cloud layer there is no global warming - only local warming where the clouds are.

PROVING YOUR CONNECTION TO OUTER SPACE

When you did the first experiment with the ice cubes your hand had a temperature of 98 degrees F but the ice cubes were at freezing or 32 degrees F. That is enough difference to feel the cold from a distance of about an inch. But on a cloudy night, both the earth and the bottom of the clouds are at a temperature of about 60 degrees. That is not enough difference to feel the cold. So pointing your hand toward the ground and at the clouds show they are about the same temperature. But on a clear starry night, the temperature of outer space is actually around minus 459 degrees while your hand is plus 98 degrees. That is a difference in temperature of about 560 degrees. That's why space feels so cold.

With the ice cubes, the temperature difference is about 70 degrees, but with outer space the temperature difference is about 560 degrees. In the science of thermodynamics it is shown that the amount of radiation is equal to the temperature difference raised to the fourth power. That means multiplying the number by itself four times. That humongous difference between your temperature and outer space is why the dark sky feels so cold even though it is so many light-years away.

EXPERIMENT THREE -- DISPROVING THE GREENHOUSE LAYER

The third part of this experiment is only a thought experiment, since it always fails - you can never make it work. If there ever were a layer of "greenhouse" gases which is reflecting heat from the earth and raising the temperature of the earth, then it should still be there as a gaseous layer at night. Why would it go away just when the sun goes down? It couldn't and it wouldn't. But if that "greenhouse" layer did exist, then when you do the experiment with your hand on a clear starry night, then you could not feel the cold of outer space since the "greenhouse" gases would reflect heat back to your hand, just like a cloud, and you couldn't feel the cold of space. It would be just like a cloudy night, but you would still see the stars. I have done this experiment with my hand and shown it to students for over 40 years. It always worked and still does even today. Thus proving that there is NO "greenhouse" gas layer which reflects heat back to earth and to your hand - and never has been and never will be.

EXPERIMENT THREE -- WHAT GOES UP?

This is a very simple and fun experiment which even kids can do and shows much about scientific principles. You take two balloons and blow them up to the same size, about one foot or so, depending on the size of the balloon. The size is not important, just simply that they are the same size when blown up with air. One of the principles of chemistry and thermodynamics is that if I have two balloons of the exact same size, they will have exactly the same number of molecules of gas in each one.

Advanced students can find out what that number of molecules is called and even how to calculate that number. But let's just call it one jillion molecules. Since the air is made up mostly of di-atomic molecules of Nitrogen and Oxygen, there are two atoms inside each molecule of air. So each balloon has exactly TWO jillion atoms inside. If they both have the same number of molecules and atoms then they should weigh exactly the same. If you hold up both balloons and then let go, they will slowly drift down to the floor. You've probably seen this a lot at birthday parties and such. You know what it looks like.

WHAT DOES NOT GO UP

Now take one of the balloons and instead of air, blow it up to the same size with Carbon Dioxide gas. But the CO2 molecule is made of two atoms of Oxygen, just like the air, and then also has an extra Carbon atom inside each molecule. That's why it is called Carbon DiOxide - or one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms in each molecule of gas. So if I have the same size balloon filled with CO2, now instead of just two jillion atoms, this balloon contains THREE jillion atoms. That means the weight of the CO2 balloon is half again heavier than the balloon full of air. In science, that is called the specific gravity and for CO2, it is 1.5 times that of air, meaning it weighs half again more than 1.0 which is the specific gravity of air. This is like weighing two tennis balls, and then three tennis balls, and saying that three tennis balls weighs much more than just two tennis balls. Thus the CO2 balloon is much heavier than air. If you hold up the CO2 balloon and let go, it drops like a rock. Why? Because it is much heavier than air.

What this proves is that CO2 molecule which comes out of cars burning hydrocarbon fuels, does not make a gas which rises miles high up in the atmosphere and creates a thick layer of Carbon Dioxide which reflects heat and becomes a "greenhouse" layer gas. No No. If you have ever watched smog coming from cars, it hangs close to the ground, and then disappears over night. At most it will rise up several hundred feet into the air during the daytime and no higher. Why does it disappear? Because all the components of smog, such as: CO2, Ozone and smoky unburned hydrocarbons are all much heavier than air, and over night when it is cool and calm they all sink to the ground. They do not magically rise up high, all by themselves, into the sky to become a high altitude "greenhouse" layer.

Hot air balloons can rise up in the air, but heavier-than-air craft, such as airplanes do not rise up all by themselves to become a thick layer of heavy airplanes floating in the sky. It will never happen, could never happen and has never happened. It cannot happen with CO2 which is also much heavier than air. And as I just showed you, with these three simple experiments, which you can do yourself -- you can prove it for yourself.

THE PRIESTHOOD GOES "HIGH-TECH"

When the "greenhouse priests" quote you chapter and verse from their computer model "greenhouse" scriptures, just ignore it. It is no more valuable than preachers who quote to you biblical verses, such as John 3:16, to "prove" the biblical model of the universe. It only works, if you "believe it." But it provides no scientific evidence other than itself. It is not useful nor provable.

Of great shame, is the action of Science magazine several years ago, when they decided not to accept any more articles attempting to present arguments to disprove the greenhouse global warming theory. Science magazine once was the most respected world journal of modern technology, but no more. For years, there had been an ongoing debate about "greenhouse" gases. But Science magazine simply decided that there IS "greenhouse global warming" - and that's that, end of debate. It was a doctrinaire statement of belief, and not a scientific finding.

THE HERESY OF THE GREENHOUSE

Well, I am fed up with such false "religious science" based on belief and not real science, which has been produced by the "new priesthood of science" in the last 50 years. That is why I wrote the three experiments as I just did. I did it to prove with real scientific accuracy and proof, that the "global warming greenhouse priesthood" along with the "new priests" at Science magazine are Wrong. And provably wrong. They should be ashamed. Science magazine has taken a debate between "belief systems" and made an arbitrary decision. It is the same as Science magazine entering the debate about who is God - is it Jesus or Allah? And Science magazine arbitrarily and without any proof or evidence declared "Jesus is Lord" and Allah can go to hell. All very "scientific." I am fed up with such cheap fiction.

If you don't "believe" what I just proved about there being no greenhouse layer made of CO2, then I invite you to do the three simple experiments above, and then decide for yourself whether a greenhouse layer does or even could exist. You don't need to rely on the "greenhouse priests" with their complicated computer model scriptures to explain simple facts to you. You can do it yourself...
