German Physicists: "Atmospheric Greenhouse Effect is a Fictitious Mechanism"

Gerhard Gerlich and Ralf Tscheuschner have written a paper that completely kicks the legs out from under the global warming hoax. Here are some interesting excerpts:


The atmospheric greenhouse effect, an idea that authors trace back to the works of Fourier 1824, Tyndall 1861 and Arrhenius 1896 and is still supported in global warming climatology essentially decribes a fictitious mechanism in which a planetary atmosphere acts as a heat pump driven by an environment that is radiatively interacting with but radiatively equilibrated to the atmospheric system. According to the second law of thermodynamics such a planetary machine can never exist.

What will be the effect of an increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?

It is obvious that a doubling of the concentration of the trace gas CO2, whose thermal conductivity is approximately one half that of nitrogen and oxygen, does change the thermal conductivity [of the atmosphere] at the most by 0.03% and the isochoric thermal diffusivity at the most by 0.07%. These numbers lie within the range of the meauring inaccuracy and other uncertainties such as rounding errors and therefore have no significance at all.


Does atmospheric CO2 cause any warming whatsoever?

Global climatologists claim that the earth's natural greenhouse effect keeps the earth 33 degrees C warmer than it would be without the trace gases in the atmosphere. 80 percent of this warming is attributed to water vapor and 20 percent to the 0.03 volume percent CO2. If such an extreme effect existed, it would show up even in a laboratory experiment involving concentrated CO2 as a heat conductive anomaly. It would manifest itself as a new kind of 'superinsulation' violating the conventional heat conduction equation. However, for CO2 such anomalous heat transport properties have never been observed.

Some more conclusions of the authors

There are no common physical laws between the warming phenomenon in glass houses and the fictitious atmospheric greenhouse effect, which explains the relevant physical phenomena. The terms "greenhouse effect" and "greenhouse gases" are deliberate misnomers.

The temperature rises in the climate model computations are made possible bu a perpetuum mobile [perpetual motion] of the second kind. This is possible by setting the heat conductivity in the atmospheric models to zero, an unphysical assumption.

You heard it correctly. The models developed by the perpetrators of the global warming hoax rely on an assumption of perpetual motion.
