Howard “Cork” Hayden, Prof. Emeritus of Physics, UConn, corkhayden@comcast.net |
Abstract: One fact at a time
This short essay is the first in a short series about basic (meaning all-inclusive) physics that pertains to the subject
of climate.
Bear in mind that my purpose is not to engage in details about wind, rain, snow, storms, historical climatology,
Milankovitch cycles, or any of the common topics discussed about climate.
What I will discuss is some simple
physics.

Basic Climate Physics - Extended UN Deficiency

Howard Hayden |
Abstract: CO2 Emissions - For some wavelengths, infrared travels less than a meter before being absorbed by CO2 at our present concentration of about 400 molecules per million molecules of air (ppmv). For a lot more wavelengths, the IR is stopped before going 10 meters. Accordingly, even with only 1 percent as much CO2 as we have, CO2 would be a strong greenhouse absorber. However, we are concerned with what happens as the atmospheric CO2 concentration increases from 400 ppmv [parts per million in volume] to 800 ppmv, as may happen during the next century.
