Despite what feels like a very cold winter right here in Lawrence, new ScienceBlogger commonground observies that January's Heat Record Isn't Broken it's Smashed.
Here's a little experiment I suggest for all who doubt the consequences of global warming.
Find in or near your home a closed model of the Earth's atmosphere, a place with roughly 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, .93% argon, 0.04% carbon dioxide, a little bit of water vapor and trace amounts of, say Neon, Helium, Methane, Krypton, and Hydrogen. Your garage is a perfect location.
Now, come up with something that might recreate the last hundred and fifty years or so of burning coal, wood, and petroleum that generally constitutes the years of the Industrial Revolution. An internal combustion engine, for example. Got a car in your garage? Perfect. Your little experiment is set.
Get in your car and start the engine and contemplate how manmade consumption of carbon-based fuels has no effect on the earth's atmosphere.
Get back to me with your results.
