I wonder how much influence clouds have in our changing climate.

If the world heats up then we should have more clouds

If we have more clouds then we have more albedo and thus reflecting heat

Seems like a self regulating system.

I feel it is not that that simple..

Have I missed something?

clouds trap heat in

less sunlight to grow crops

And also reflect heat

less sunlight to grow crops

And hotter more humid conditions

the way it works is that the sunlight is the main growth factor

you could have all the water you needed but proper sunlight makes crops grow according to a schedule

if the soil is wet i’d bet that most crops apart from maybe sugar cane would rot in the ground

when that volcano went off in java in 535 ad it created the dark ages literally, there was less sunlight

it makes me wonder if we might be making a nuclear winter

i keep meaning to look into that interplay between carnon dioxide, carbon monoxide and soot (carbon) at high temps and pressure

it means that we could remove the carbon from the air quite simply by using sunlight

i found the reaction in an old marine technology boiler operation book ages ago but the book has been lost at someones house and can’t be found

Boudouard reaction

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Boudouard reaction, named after Octave Leopold Boudouard, who discovered it in 1905, is the redox reaction of a chemical equilibrium mixture of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide at a given temperature. It is the disproportionation of carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide and graphite or its reverse: 2CO CO2 + C

Oh, I realise that we are talking about now.

To invoke a past where the continents and ocean currents were different is not relevant

been working on a few childrens books

“wookiemeister saves the world!” was my first

“wookiemeister gets high” was banned

not sure what you are talking about

i’m just saying that if theres less light and the ground is wetter the crops would just rot before ever growing to maturity

it makes me wonder if more methane would be produced with all that stuff rotting

Methane is from anerobic decomp, which would not be the case so much here.

unless the rotting stuff was submerged under water if there was ongoing rain for weeks on end

i’m thinking that more rain means more methane

in the summer methane production would increase by my thinking

summer wet
winter dry

I wonder what influence clouds have as the world heats.

you’ll have more clouds to negate the increased temperatures

We need Zarkie to get this thread really rockin’

The clouds will deposit a thin layer of oil across the surface of the oceans…

Brett the link below seems to cover what you want.
I havent read it but a cursory flick through it would indicate that it is kosher.
From what I did read there is some interesting stuff there and I’ll read it properly when I have more time.

Thanks for the link PWM.

Prof Ole Humlum is making me squint.

He certainly knows his data sets and where the dots are.

Although all becomes a bit clearer with the long term
trend line

After much consideration

all I can say is

I have looked at graphs for some time now
from up and down and still somehow
It’s graphs illusions I recall
I really don’t know graphs, at all.
