Ever wondered, what the Earth's surface temperatures would be under different atmospheric pressures? This graph shows results from the latest extended NZ planetary temperature model based on the best available NASA data for Venus, the Moon, Earth, Mars, Titan and Triton. These planetary bodies were used to derive universal thermodynamic relationships (valid over a huge range of physical environments) between surface temperatures one hand and pressure, atmospheric density & incoming solar radiation on the other. The predictions for Earth depicted here are so accurate that you can take them to bank, as the saying goes. 🙂 The green curve shows average latitudinal temperatures under the current pressure (0.9855 bar). The overall pattern is that an increasing atmospheric pressure raises the mean global temperature while reducing the latitudinal temperature gradients at the same time. Thus, the higher the total pressure, the more isothermal the planet becomes! That's because molar air density increases with pressure, and a higher density makes the meridional heat transport more efficient due to the presence of large number of molecules per cubic meter carrying heat. Venus with its 93 bar of surface pressure is an example of an isothermal planet surface caused by a very high atmospheric molar density... The relationships are strongly non-linear, however.

Evolution in action... UNBELIEVABLE! 🙂
Here's a video of a Chimpanzee using Instagram. It's eye-opening.

The claimed heat gain of 381 ZJ by the Planet is based on an observed quantity called Earth's Energy Imbalance (EEI), which is the difference between absorbed solar radiation and the emitted LW flux at the TOA. The problem is that EEI has been physically MISINTERPRETED. See this:

Looks like CO2 lags temperature by around 15 million years on this timescale. #CauseAndEffect
No meaningful correlation between atmospheric CO2 and global temperature on a time scale of tens of millions of years! That should tell the thinking people something!

It's not both! There is no possibility in principle for a planetary climate to be affected by invisible TRACE gases. The thermodynamics and available planetary observations across the Solar System clearly show this. The "human-caused climate change" rests on a WRONG theory!

Last night, Russia launched a brazen attack on the people of Ukraine, in violation of international law and basic principles of human decency. Here’s my statement on what it means, and what should happen next.

Here's a newly-processed view of Saturn's north pole, showing the central polar vortex and two bends of the hexagonal jet stream made from image data acquired with @CassiniSaturn on December 10, 2012 #OTD from a distance of about 403,000km 🪐

This is what happened today to my friend Ned Nikolov. Do you think it's justified?

According to 2014 data, only 0.6% of Earth's LAND surface is occupied by human-created "artificial surfaces". i.e. cities, towns, transportation, open mines and quarries and waste disposals. So there is plenty of room for expansion! curiousmeerkat.co.uk/questio…

To all interested in New Climate Science: These 2 presentations made at the AMS 101st Annual Meeting in Jan 2021 introduce new concepts in the areas of: - Paleoclimate Change: youtube.com/watch?v=DpUkPPtk… and - Modern #ClimateChange: youtube.com/watch?v=Gv66_mpJ… Please watch & share!

There are no independent proxies of past pressure at the moment, because science has never looked for them. Paleoclimatology a priori assumes that pressure has been constant for 10s of millions of years... They've been operating in the WRONG paradigm for many decades.

This 2014 paper (dewcommunity.org/uploads/4/1…) discusses the degassing of N2 from upper mantle into the atmosphere. According to the authors, there is lots of molecular N2 in the supercritical fluid of upper mantle. This supports our notion about pressure changes due to N2 degassing!

A new disturbing reality is emerging about Pfizer & Moderna COVID vaccines. They have very low ABSOLUTE efficacies (~1%) while causing 10 times more deaths compared to the flu vaccines. See these threads: - Efficacy: xitter.cf/NikolovScience/status/… - Deaths: xitter.cf/NikolovScience/status/… 🤔
Tucker Carlson (@TuckerCarlson) had a very informative piece today (May 6, 2021) on the topic of deaths caused by COVID vaccines in the US using official data from VAERS: video.foxnews.com/v/62527946… Did you know that since Dec 2020, some 3,700 COVID-vaccine deaths have occurred?

The amount of dust in the atmosphere as a global average is quite low now compared to the Ice Ages.

Not likely. Evidence of heightened tectonic/volcanic activity is only observed during the deglaciation phases, but not in the midst of Ice Ages, when the spike of dust flux occurs. science.sciencemag.org/conte…

Solar wind likely blew it away. Recent satellite observations show that we are constantly losing air to Space. The current rate of loss is estimated at ~90 tonnes per day: phys.org/news/2016-07-curiou… This rate was likely much higher during the Ice Ages.

No, the reduced air pressure was due to a 30% loss of atmospheric mass to Space. In the midst of Ice Ages, the surface air pressure was 68% - 72% of its present value according to our calculations.

Here is our calculation of how the surface atmospheric pressure varied over the past 83 My.

Earth loses atmosphere to Space as a result of changes in the solar magnetic regime, IMO
