In short — and we’ll describe it in more detail below — their “expert” argues that the 1st law of thermodynamics and Le Chatelier’s Principle explain why carbon dioxide can’t cause global warming. This is not only wrong, this is high school physics-level wrong. Either the FOX folks are incredibly stupid, or stunningly sociopathic. I’m guessing both.
Short version of this (and many other anti-AGW arguments) is that if they are right, then insulation of any type can’t possibly work. Congratulations, you’ve just proved that wearing a coat in winter is pointless. Surrender your coat.
Thermodynamics proposes, kinetics disposes.
Beer’s law, absorbance being linear with concentration, starts failing around absorbance = 1.5. A saturated absorbance line is NOT linear with increasing concentration, instead varying as log[c] or so. The absolute worst possible Greenhouse Effect, er, Global Warming, ah, Climate Change scenario is massively adding a new and poweful IR absorber into a spectrally wide open atmospheric IR window. That does vary absorbance linear with concentration.
One would then need be a total idiot (making money by banning out of patent freons) to manufacture then vent hydrochlorofluorocarbons into the atmosphere. A social advocate makes virtue of failure. The worse the cure the better the treatment – and the more that is required. Social advocacy maintains the crap level as its bottom is dredged ever deeper.
