Quote: Originally Posted by mohawkninja Yes. That Visible Light has energy that is reflected by the surface and trapped due to the greenhouse effect. NO, Visible light that gets reflected will simply pass back though the CO2 JUST LIKE IT DID TO REACH THE SURFACE IN THE FIRST PLACE! Visible...

Quote: Originally Posted by 2Quills Prove it! Many chemical compounds present in Earth's atmosphere behave as 'greenhouse gases'. These are gases which allow direct sunlight (relative shortwave energy) to reach the Earth's surface unimpeded. As the shortwave energy (that in the visible and...

Quote: Originally Posted by mohawkninja Where did I say infrared? Visible light has energy too. Visible light passes through CO2. So when light comes from the sun, incoming infrared is being absorbed by CO2 instead of reaching the surface. Visible light passes through to the surface.

Quote: Originally Posted by mohawkninja I didn't mean that it was trapped in the CO2. It is trapped in the atmosphere once it reflects back up. You are even further into the weeds now. Greenhouse gases (which are part of the atmosphere) absorb infrared period, coming or going. It just doesn't...

Just wait. A lot of Docs aren't taking new welfare cases. They can afford to accept the reduced rates medicaid pays as long as they don't make up too large a percentage of their patient population but once you reach the tipping point docs will refuse to accept any new Medicaid patients. The...

Quote: Originally Posted by mohawkninja So you are saying that light from the sun that goes into our homes has no energy left and doesn't heat our homes?? That's ridiculous. Maybe it should be you doing the reading. "Originally Posted by mohawkninja Yes, but all the other energy still has...

My bird thinks he's a dog. If I let him out he'll go down on the floor and follow the black dog around whistling and saying "get over here" He doesn't like the Beagle and will try to vice grip his tail given the chance.

Quote: Originally Posted by mohawkninja Yeah, and visible light has energy. That energy is trapped. Light passing through an object precludes the possibility of it's energy being trapped in it.Otherwise it wouldn't "Pass through" because there would be no energy left to drive it. Read how the...

Quote: Originally Posted by Flower Hi, So sorry about your sun Conjure...I bet it's sadly quieter in your house now...unless the toe chewer learned to mimic that sound, either way, I'm very sorry for your loss. LOL..Was the grey menace a hand fed baby?... Meaning is he friendly towards...

Quote: Originally Posted by mohawkninja Yes, but all the other energy still has to go somewhere, and that is the energy that is trapped by the CO². CO2 absorbs infrared, visible light passes through it.

I am down to one parrot now. The sun conure I believe croaked from a heart attack last week so now we just have the grey menace, the toe chewing African Grey. Still have my reef tank but one foots out the door. Bored with it. I grew up in SoCal, Moved to Phoenix for a couple years, decided...

Quote: Originally Posted by mohawkninja The sun doesn't only emit infrared. No but it emits more infrared than any other spectrum.

Around here it's "illegal" to even throw old electronics in the trash. They have recycling centers that will take your stuff, for a fee LOL!. Whatever can fit in a trashbag will go out to the trash man.
