Most people who post here have read many studies on the topic. Nobody questions physics. What is being questioned is the assumptions, the data, the conclusions and the proposed remedies. The hoax is that money will change the climate.

Eric===>> ChatGPT AI says your WRONG===>> 1. Physics has not changed in fifty years:
This is false.

is this statement true?... Physics has not changed in fifty years. The physics of AGW was proved way, way back in the 18th century. In fact, the 17th century.

This statement is partially true, but it oversimplifies the history of physics and climate science.

  1. Physics has not changed in fifty years:
    This is false. While the fundamental laws of physics (e.g., Newtonian mechanics, thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, and general relativity) remain valid, physics as a discipline has evolved significantly in the last 50 years. New discoveries, such as the Higgs boson (2012), advancements in quantum computing, and a deeper understanding of dark matter and dark energy, have transformed modern physics. Research continues to refine and expand upon existing theories.

  2. The physics of AGW (Anthropogenic Global Warming) was proved way, way back in the 18th century, and in fact, the 17th century:
    This is misleading but contains some truth:

    • The understanding of the greenhouse effect, a key principle behind AGW, began in the 19th century—not the 17th or 18th century.

      • Joseph Fourier (1824) described how Earth's atmosphere traps heat.
      • John Tyndall (1859) identified specific gases like CO2 and water vapor that absorb infrared radiation.
      • Svante Arrhenius (1896) calculated the warming effect of CO2 doubling in the atmosphere, establishing a foundational understanding of AGW.
    • The 17th and 18th centuries laid the groundwork for modern physics (e.g., Isaac Newton’s work on mechanics and optics), but they did not include a robust understanding of atmospheric science or the greenhouse effect.

Summary:Physics has evolved continuously, and while the basic principles underlying AGW were established in the 19th century, attributing this understanding to the 17th or 18th century is historically inaccurate.
