I have been writing for many years about the methane/global warming scam, and even the most die hard fraudsters are starting to back down from this massive fraud. Understanding Methane Emissions In Global Warming

Bill McKibben is now terrified of Methane. Global Warming’s Terrifying New Chemistry | The Nation Methane was 2 PPM in 1984, and it is 2 PPM now. ftp://aftp.cmdl.noaa.gov/products/trends/ch4/ch4_annmean_gl.txt Radiative transfer models show that Methane has almost no impact on downwelling … Continue reading →

Kevin Trenberth of NCAR told this nonsense to the Washington Post : Methane is a substantial contributor to global warming Science: Global Warming and the Government The radiative transfer model used by Trenberth’s NCAR is RRTM. That model shows that … Continue reading →

Dr. Peter Wadhams of Cambridge University warned in the Guardian during summer 2013 that the Arctic will be ice free in a few weeks, and that a “methane catastrophe” will occur. Ice-free Arctic in two years heralds methane catastrophe – scientist … Continue reading →

One of alarmists’ favorite lies is that “methane is 30 times worse than CO2” This is complete BS. Methane’s absorption bands almost completely overlap with H2O, and methane concentrations in the atmosphere are very low.  CH4 quickly oxidizes and disappears … Continue reading →

One of the standard alarmist claims is that Methane is 30 times more potent than CO2 at wrecking the climate, and that cow farts threaten the future of humanity. Radiative transfer model show that methane has almost no effect on … Continue reading →

Saturn’s moon Titan has more natural gas and other hydrocarbons on it than Earth. The assumption that most methane is a fossil fuel doesn’t make a lot of sense. That being said, I did have a fraternity brother in the … Continue reading →

Methane is unstable and breaks down quickly in the atmosphere, and even if it doubled would have essentially no impact on the greenhouse effect. In the tropics, the effect would be an increase in downwelling longwave radiation of about 0.04%. … Continue reading →

Methane makes up less than two parts per million in the atmosphere. If everyone at the Rose Bowl represented one molecule, odds are there would be no methane molecules represented. RRTM, the radiative transfer model used by NCAR, shows that … Continue reading →

I had a fraternity brother at ASU, whose hobby was lighting farts. Reminds me of what Reggie wrote here two weeks ago : June 26, 2013 at 10:55 pm
