Zippy, why is pulling out of a cold rut going to ruin everything? Did everybody die when it was much warmer in our recent past?
You seem to be mistaking me for an alarmist. My claims are not that global warming is going to "ruin everything." My claim (in the last few pages) was that warming water expands. A prior claim was that carbon dioxide absorbs and radiates energy in the infrared. Not exactly alarming stuff. Fairly self-evident, I'd have thought. Apparently not. :lol:
You have no common sense..
If you have a 3 inch diameter tube of water being heated up going into a one eight inch straw....the expansion up that straw is proportionate to the change in diameter and not the same as you would see if the expansion stayed in the 3 inch tube..
If you can't understand that...........you're hopeless
It's how a mercury thermometer works...
So what is there to worry about other than the unelected dictatorship based out of NY selling doomsday?
I understand that. I just don't understand why you would say that straw isn't a straight-sided tube.
According to you, a mercury thermometer doesn't work. It's--what did you call it?--"trickery."
Unelected dictatorship? And you call me the alarmist.
I didn't watch but I'm assuming the used a graduated tube in a stopper inserted in an ehrlenmeyer?
I have one here and graduated cyclunders, I'll do both side by side on video. The small tube is to make it more dramatic for school kids but we'll try it.
Global depression is a sound ecological approach to solve this CO2 problem. As the depression deepens the world will be able to meet it's commitments to lower CO2 emissions due to the drastic reduction in productivity by plant closures.
Does the mercury expand or is it drawn up the tube by some other mechanism? Gravity perhaps.

Capillary motion can draw a fluid up a thin tube. Has to be pretty thin though.
You're either a moron or deflecting and twisting my words around.....my bet is on moron
Interesting stuff capillary action.

Yes we call it "the free market" . Something that does not now exist since it's murder by central banks. You don't don't like fresh air or polar bears do you?
Be careful with that one, feathers are weighed using the Avoirdupois system while Gold is in Troy weight (12 oz. to the lb.)

THe air is fresh where I live and the polar bears would do just fine if left alone. Of far more concern is the influx in sea lions that are eating too much fish here.
It's a moot question anyway- to even heat the entire ocean by 0.1C you'd use up all the oxygen in the atmosphere and another thing it doesn't matter how much you heat it or cool it the water on the ocean floor will always be 4 degrees C.
About 10 lbs. to the gallon or 62 lbs per cubic ft.
Since you're the expert on capillary action explain this one to me...
In both my car and my snow blower....if I have synthetic oil, if I check the oil in the morning after the engine has been off overnight the oil shows about one inch or more overfull...I wipe the dip stick and check it again it's right on the mark
some type of Capillary action ...right?
Why doesn't it do that with standard 5 - 30 motor oil??
Because it's under pressure. When you are canning meat or fish at 15 lbs, the boiling point is about 230 F.
I'm not an expert in capilary motion. That's interesting though. Have you figured out what it is? Better question--can I put regular (5W30) in my motor after I've put in synthetic? Someone tld me I shouldn't do that.
Yes I think that's true because 4 deg C is the most dense that H20 gets. I don't understand what you mean about higher temperatures sucking oxygen out of the atmosphere though. How does that work?
