Suppose a group of astronauts traveled to another Earth-like planet. They get off their space-craft, take off their space suits and begin sunbathing, unclothed. As their immune system has not evolved on this planet, would they immediately die as a result of exposure to alien microbes? So, even...

How does radiative forcing relate to the greenhouse effect? Is radiative forcing part of the greenhouse effect? Or does radiative forcing cause it? I'm confused. Clear explanation needed. Thanks

This is great. Thanks. Does this experiment relate to a math / physics equation (fundamental classical gas theory)?

Hi there :) Thanks for the reply. I have starting reading about radiative forcing and the greenhouse effect, and am trying to put this into context (a logical chain of cause - effect). If you could direct me to the mainstream (popular) peer-reviewed references, that would be great! If you...

There are two ideas: (1) C02 is increasing. (2) The global temperature is increasingI am looking for the specific mechanism (most likely an equation / theories of physics) which climate scientists use to connect (1) and (2) together, and infer that (1) causes (2). I am looking for the math /...

Thanks for reply. I'm just trying to let the person who reads the formula know that I have used this formula to calculate 5 mean values x_1, x_2, x_3, x_4 and x_5. eg/ result number one x_1 of 5 results x_5 YELLOW 499 ORANGE 317 PURPLE 545 BLACK 110 AVERAGE 367.75 The data...

Homework Statement I'm trying to formulate a formula based on an experiment I did. Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution [/B] where x_1 = mean (one of 5 mean values) x_i = value of variables (there are 4 of them added together) n = number of variables My problem is, for the left...
