I have to make sense of situations where different sciences have incompatible axiomatic bases? For example, the H+ is sorta unspeakable in chemistry, because an actual proton is bound inside an atomic nucleus. By the strong nuclear force. Entirely different order of magnitude of energies involved, nuclear physics reactions only. If you are interested in my own contributions, I like to consider water itself a form of deprotonated peroxide H2O2. Explains a bunch of stuff.

CO2 is by far the heaviest atmospheric component, and its concentration in water depends overwhelmingly on one factor - pressure / depth. Until, a few kilometers down, there is none whatsoever, possibly because the oceans don't mix so well? Just found this interesting link with a different explanation: https://people.ucsc.edu/~mdmccar/migrated/ocea213/readings/15_GeoEngineer/C_sequestration/adams_2008_Elements_CALDERIA_Ocean_CO2_Storeage.pdf I quote At typical ocean pressure and temperature, pure CO2 is in gas form above a depth of 400–500 m and in liquid form below. At a depth of 1000 m, liquid CO2 is about 6% less dense than seawater. Because liquid CO2 is more compressible than seawater, at a depth of 3000 m its density is similar to that of seawater. Thus, liquid CO2 would be positively buoyant and rise if it were injected above 3000 m, but it would sink if injected deeper. So, what those guys are really saying is that liquid carbonic acid exists between 500m and ~3km and is compressible. Which would also explain the deepest ocean depths having barely any / being a huge available empty sink. (because the CO2 dropped out onto the seafloor in a solid hydrate form) It is certain that the oceans have seen much higher concentration before, judging from impressive sizes of ancient seashell fossils. On a related note, I fail to comprehend the whole "greenhouse effect" thing. Intuitively, is the CO2's supposed role in the story that of the greenhouse roof.

This quotation is in line with a previous post of yours. Not quite. I claimed that CO2 concentration drops quicker with attitude than for other atmospheric components. Unfortunately, you cannot really see it, but you can see something similar with, say, chlorine, which looks like green fluff sticking to the ground. A similar effect is also known for water vapor and there is a related scare https://www.nasa.gov/feature/langley/studying-earth-s-stratospheric-water-vapor/ It goes something like this. There is barely any water in the upper atmosphere. But, if it gets there with help of aircraft (or some other anthropogenic means) it somehow stays there, which is horrible, because it is the most powerful greenhouse agent of all. What's true for water vapor, is true for CO2 even more, because water vapor is lighter than CO2. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yet, is most of it hanging out at the ground level! Does it not disturb anyone? Not too sure how that works out but consider this: 1. www.pmel.noaa.gov> eoi > education > pressure If you are at sea level, each square inch of your surface is subjected to a force of 14.6 pounds. The pressure increases about one atmosphere for every 10 meters of water depth. 2. www.carbon=dioxide-properties.com> aboutco2 Carbon dioxide has no liquid state at pressures below 5.1 atm. ( which is > 50 meters below sea water). The question is .............. how do you get free flowing CO2 in the open sky to go down on its own that far to form a liquid? If gas CO2 remains at 1 atmospheric pressure, we assume solubility happens only on the surface, yes? This brings to another point........ Regardless how heavy CO2 is, upon released from the source, it will disperse on its own to less dense area in the air. 'Hot air rises' indicates that it will go up to higher altitude of the air instead of sticking on the surface of water or land, or everywhere under surrounding temperature, yes? Therefore, we could probably deduce that CO2 can only be found in minute amount right above sea level and dissolves mildly? How much change would this create is awaiting confirmation, yes? Regarding greenhouse effect.................. It was probably an idea from winter agricultural farm....... How they kept the enclosed farm green throughout the winter. It was a warmth place to start with. On environment........ Imagine dry air and humid air condition possibly found in any concrete high rises filled city. Dry air can be cleared easily with wind. Humid air would take some times to be cleared. It might indicate that water vapour, with the highest capacity to retain heat among all waste gases released, traps heat. On climate, it refers to a blanket of warmth formed when heat was retained within cloud and water vapour... This blanket of cloud helps to regulate temperature within a certain or minute range in many places. Places without cloud usually have extreme temperature and coldness. Quoting this from a discussion board posted on an online course " Designing a climate neutral world, by DELFTx" " It is speculated that since water vapour is considered important factor to us and farmers, it is conveniently taken out to accommodate CO2 as the major culprit and target of action. This act of cutting corner provided misleading argument, policy and mostly futile yet costly mediation. There is probably a need to revise what is known to make effort ahead not in vain and more cost effective."

The pressure increases about one atmosphere for every 10 meters of water depth. 2. www.carbon=dioxide-properties.com> aboutco2 Carbon dioxide has no liquid state at pressures below 5.1 atm. ( which is > 50 meters below sea water). The question is .............. how do you get free flowing CO2 in the open sky to go down on its own that far to form a liquid? If gas CO2 remains at 1 atmospheric pressure, we assume solubility happens only on the surface, yes? This brings to another point........ Regardless how heavy CO2 is, upon released from the source, it will disperse on its own to less dense area in the air. 'Hot air rises' indicates that it will go up to higher altitude of the air instead of sticking on the surface of water or land, or everywhere under surrounding temperature, yes? Therefore, we could probably deduce that CO2 can only be found in minute amount right above sea level and dissolves mildly? How much change would this create is awaiting confirmation, yes? Regarding greenhouse effect.................. It was probably an idea from winter agricultural farm....... How they kept the enclosed farm green throughout the winter. It was a warmth place to start with. On environment........ Imagine dry air and humid air condition possibly found in any concrete high rises filled city. Dry air can be cleared easily with wind. Humid air would take some times to be cleared. It might indicate that water vapour, with the highest capacity to retain heat among all waste gases released, traps heat. On climate, it refers to a blanket of warmth formed when heat was retained within cloud and water vapour... This blanket of cloud helps to regulate temperature within a certain or minute range in many places. Places without cloud usually have extreme temperature and coldness. Quoting this from a discussion board posted on an online course " Designing a climate neutral world, by DELFTx" " It is speculated that since water vapour is considered important factor to us and farmers, it is conveniently taken out to accommodate CO2 as the major culprit and target of action. This act of cutting corner provided misleading argument, policy and mostly futile yet costly mediation. There is probably a need to revise what is known to make effort ahead not in vain and more cost effective." If gas CO2 remains at 1 atmospheric pressure, we assume solubility happens only on the surface, yes? NO, you have no idea what you are talking about. think about how much CO2 you can put into water in a soda bottle.. pressure is greater than one atmo in the bottle and the amount of CO2 in solution is far greater than sea water....now think of at 100 atmos ....very deep water how much CO2 can be put into solution ......far greater amount than at 1 atmo first the partial pressure that CO2 exerts at sea level is not 1 atmo......You can put more CO2 into water at a higher partial pressure (related to the 410 ppm) than existed in 1750 related to the 260 ppm....CO2 can dissplace the dissolved nitrogen and oxygen as the partial pressure of N2 decreases slightly as you increase the partial pressure of CO2. Got it?????? if you do not go back to college and take some chemistry classes and surface chemistry classes and try to understand how gases interact with liquids In addation amount of CO2 at sea level (at the surface) is not at saturation for CO2 meaning that CO2 keeps dissolving into sea water at the surface and at a rate of 1.6 times (415/260) today than it did 250 years ago. Soluble CO2 or CO2 dissolve in seawater then can speciate to Carbonic acid according to ..................... if you do not understand the following you are just babbling BS In aqueous solution carbonic acid behaves as a dibasic acid. The Bjerrum plot shows typical equilibrium concentrations, in solution, in seawater, of carbon dioxide and the various species derived from it, as a function of pH.[4][5] The acidification of natural waters is caused by the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which is caused by the burning of increasing amounts of coal and hydrocarbons.[6][7] Expected change refers to predicted effect of continued ocean acidification.[8] It has been estimated that the increase in dissolved carbon dioxide has caused the ocean's average surface pH to decrease by about 0.1 from pre-industrial levels. The stability constants database contains 136 entries with values for the overall protonation constants, β1 and β2, of the carbonate ion. In the following expressions [H+] represents the concentration, at equilibrium, of the chemical species H+, etc. The value of log β1 decreases with increasing ionic strength, {\displaystyle {\ce {I}}}. At 25 °C: {\displaystyle {\ce {CO3^{2-}{+ H+}<=> HCO3^-}}} : {\displaystyle \beta _{1}={\frac {[{\text{HCO}}_{3}^{-}]}{[{\text{H}}^{+}][{\text{CO}}_{3}^{2-}]}}} {\displaystyle \log \beta _{1}=0.54I^{2}-0.96I+9.93} (selected data from SC-database) The value of log β2 also decreases with increasing ionic strength. {\displaystyle {\ce {CO3^{2-}{+ 2H+}<=> H2CO3}}} : {\displaystyle \beta _{2}={\frac {[{\text{H}}_{2}{\text{CO}}_{3}]}{[{\text{H}}^{+}]^{2}[{\text{CO}}_{3}^{2-}]}}} {\displaystyle \log \beta _{2}=-2.5I^{2}-0.043I+16.07} At {\displaystyle {\ce {I}}}=0 and 25 °C the pK values of the stepwise dissociation constants are pK1 = logβ2 - logβ1 = 6.77. pK2 = logβ1 = 9.93. When pH = pK the two chemical species in equilibrium with each other have the same concentration. Note 1: There are apparently conflicting values in the literature for pKa. Pines et al. cite a value for "pKapp" of 6.35, consistent with the value 6.77, mentioned above.[9] They also give a value for "pKa" of 3.49 and state that pKa = pKapp − log KD (eqn. 5) where KD=[CO2]/[H2CO3]. (eqn. 3) The situation arises from the way that the dissociation constants are named and defined, which is clearly stated in the text of the Pines paper, but not in the abstract. Note 2: The numbering of dissociation constants is the reverse of the numbering of the numbering of association constants, so pK2 (dissociation)= log β1 (association). The value of the stepwise constant for the equilibrium {\displaystyle {\ce {HCO3- <=> CO3^{2-}{+ H+}}}} is given by pK1(dissociation)1 = log β2 − log β1 (association) 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You might want to take the MOOC that the skepticalscience site is advertising called "Making Sense of Climate Science Denial." It could be helpful. Here is the quote again, "Age control. All radiocarbon dates were recalibrated", the data were recalibrated using another system. That is the point. And the other point was also simple. If CO2 levels are at extraordinarily high levels, why does temperature not continue to rise? A simple question. The answer is not in those links you give, they just do not consider the issue. The graphs indicate a cooling trend commencing at high levels of CO2, which contradicts the CO2 theory. But the problem with the lags is still unanswered, I do not see an answer there in your links. There have been so many papers that have published the lag with temperature leading CO2, which is fatal to the CO2 hypothesis.
