Venus is very hot, but has no weather. This is partly because they have a uniform temperature across the surface, day and night. There is no mechanism to produce heat flow. The Arctic is very cold, but has a large flow of heat, as indicated by the high frequency of storms.. Heat and temperature are different things, and should nt be conflated.

Heat flow is driven by differences in energy. Storms occur at frontal boundaries, because there is warm moist air on one side, and cold dry air on the other side.

Electricity flow is driven by differences in energy. When you purchase a 1.5 volt battery, it has 1.5 volts difference between the two terminals. Over time, the voltage difference decreases and the amount of power the batter can generate can degrade.

People build dams to increase the potential energy upstream. Similar to the glass in the greenhouse, the dam creates…

The headline says more than 2/3  of U. S. capacity from wind in October.  They left out the word “new.”

Greenhouses receive solar radiation through the glass. Essentially all of that energy has to escape back out of the greenhouse. The only place for it to escape is back out through the glass.

Heat flow between two points is proportional to the temperature difference, and also proportional to the thermal conductivity. The glass has low thermal conductivity, so the temperature inside the greenhouse has to rise to keep the heat flowing out at the same rate it is coming in – creating a large temperature drop across the quarter inch of glass.

Without the glass, the heat would escape much more efficiently, and the temperature would be lower. The energy flow through the system is the same with or without the glass, but the temperature is higher with the glass in place.

Einstein joked :

If the facts don’t fit the theory, change the facts.

He was mocking fake scientists who tamper with data, like the ones in the US government which create fake temperature graphs.

The White House is engaged in a big push to create an imaginary “climate legacy” for the narcissistic in chief. Actual temperatures provide no support for the agenda, so NCDC simply makes up fake data. They show US temperatures for October as 4th warmest since 1895

Their own thermometer data shows nothing of the sort. October temperatures in the US haven’t warmed since 1895, and this past October was unremarkable.  The animation below alternates between NCDC measured and reported temperatures. Note how they bumped October 2014 up a full degree.

Do they actually believe that all of their observers were reading temperatures a degree too low in October 2014? That isn’t even remotely credible. Te next graph…

Or how does warming cause more snow or the polar vortex or more polar ice?
