The type of GWarming experimental demos that teachers are doing are COMPLETELY bogus.. They should be ashamed of themselves if they knew any better. You cannot recreate the GreenHouse in a Mason jar or a 20gal aquarium..
But what you're asking for is really puzzling.. Because you want to simplify the atmospheric insulation of the Earth in one "experiment"..
If you two guys want that experiment soooo badly --- you should at least tell us what it would look like and how you would design it...
What would you use to model the Earth's surface? What energy source would you use? How would you contain it without influencing incident radiation or heating effects??
You could avoid most of this dirty work by going and buying a book on Atmos. Physics.. Would be a better investment..
Odd that we can create a mini black hole in a lab, but a 200PPM change in atmospheric gas is beyond our capabilities
That's a good point chief..
It's easy to prove that CO2 will absorb and re-radiate thermal energy. Don't even NEED to do that part.. The experiment would have to be realistic enough to extrapolate MEASUREMENTS of the back radiation and cooling vents in the atmos.. to be of any use.
I'll give you a reason.. To figure out HOW MUCH the net thermal flow from the surface to the heavens is DECREASED by your 200ppm --- you'd have to model both the BBody output of the Earth and the heat sinking ability of space..
PERHAPS -- Lawrence Livermore could pull that off -- but NOT in a milk jug or aquarium..
The IPCC has pulled it off.
What can be proven in a milk jug or aquarium is the absorption behavior of GHGs.
