Quote# 9942
[Blissfully unaware that global warming happens due to greenhouse gases, which cause the atmosphere to become opaque to the infrared radiation emitted by the Earth, not the total amount of heat produced or received by the Earth.]
Rather than continue to listen to the emotional hysteria of the Envirowackos, let's pause for a moment and consider, for example, the amount of "global warming" power coming from natural causes (i.e., The Sun) versus the amount of "global warming" power caused by burning coal, oil, and natural gas to produce electricity and heat our homes.
This way we can begin to get a handle on how big a factor Man's behavior is in producing the much-ballyhooed "global warming" versus how big a factor the Sun is.
[Math showing that the sun produces more energy than coal.]
IOW, the “global warming” from the Sun is approximately 650,000,000,000,000,000,000 times greater than that due to the total amount of “global warming” caused by all the coal, oil, and gas that is burnt to produce electricity and heat. But to be fair, we should also consider the amount of oil burnt to propel our cars, planes, boats, and trains, but the amount of heat produced by doing that is in the ballpark range of that produced by producing electricity and heating our homes.
Then again, facts don't mean much to the typical "global warming" theorist....
