There is renewed confusion about Methane. The idea of regulating belches and farts is back. That’s in spite of the fact that Methane has been diminishing for almost a decade (2007 U.N.IPCC Fourth Assessment Report, Report 2, page 142). What is the reports explanation? “The reasons for the decrease in the atmospheric CH4 growth rate and the implications for future changes in its atmospheric burden are not understood (Prather et al., 2001) but are clearly related to changes in the imbalance between CH4 sources and sinks.” The problem is that the Global Warming Models have serious holes and the political non-science is taking over. (Report One: The Global Warming Models can’t model clouds – 95% of greenhouse gas is water vapor. They can’t get “consensus” without adjusting the inputs – the “Monte Carlo” method. Etc.) Let me simplify Global Warming. Every day there’s Global Warming. Every night there’s Global Cooling. Every summer there’s Global Warming. Every winter there’s Global Cooling. There are also Global Warming and Cooling cycles over 100’s of years. 1,000 years ago Greenland was green and there were vineyard in the north of London. It was know as the Medieval Warm Period. Before Al Gore, it was also called “Climate Optimum”, the optimum climate for man. 500 years ago was the “Little Ice Age”. The ‘Little Ice Ace’ was spawned by 5 major volcanoes in a 10 year period. Glaciers wiped out entire villages in Europe. England changed staples from wheat to potatoes. Life was hard. The problem with cycles of 100’s of years is that humans can not relate. So drop back to the yearly cycle and add a little talked about part of Greenhouse Gas. This is the critical insight overlooked by the U.N. IPCC Reports. Greenhouse Gas is not evenly distributed around our planet. All Greenhouse Gas is in the Troposphere. The Troposphere is 12 miles thick at the equator and zero to 4 miles thick at the poles. During the summer, the oceans warm, ‘exhale’ greenhouse gas, and there is 4 miles of Troposphere at the poles. During the winter, the oceans cool, ‘inhale’ greenhouse gas, and the Troposphere is indistinguishable at the poles. That is why there are Northern Lights on the North Pole every winter. But that’s another story.
