the source of global warming

Introduction

Global warming, once thought to be a certainty, is still evolving, although many scientists believe that there is no question as to its validity. Measurements show that average temperatures around the earth increased from 1980 to 2000, and decreased in the following years. This supports the idea that the earth’s average temperature varies through periodic cycles. However, many regions around the globe have clearly seen an increase in average local temperatures. In Antarctica, for instance, the ice is melting at a rate equivalent to 100 billion gallons of water per year. The ice covering the North Polar Sea has shrunk by at least 30% since the first satellite photographs were taken in the early 1970s. The ice that once covered Glacier Bay in Alaska has retreated 22 miles from the mouth of the bay at the Pacific Ocean. Similar melting has occurred for the Greenland ice sheet, and for most of the earth’s glaciers. There is also clear evidence that islands in the South Pacific are experiencing higher tides as higher ocean levels invade their coastlines. The only thing that melts ice is heat, so it is safe to say that at the very least, the land and water near these large areas of melted ice is heating up. But the question is, “What is causing it?”

Most scientists believe that the ice is melting because greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, are trapping heat in the atmosphere, thus raising temperatures above normal levels. To support this claim, scientists cite studies that show that the amount of carbon dioxide in the lower atmosphere has increased from 350 parts per million (ppm) to almost 380 ppm over the past 200 years. Many other scientists, however, do not agree with this conclusion. Scientific and other literature (not actual temperature readings) from the early 1700s say that during the Maunder sunspot cycle, a rare event characterized by the an absence of sunspots, the average temperature in Europe fell several degrees. It was so cold that the Themes River in London froze to three feet deep, and snow covered the ground south to the Mediterranean Sea. This is good evidence that global temperatures vary over time, and that they are not unique to our age. On the other hand, “What about the ice and the higher sea levels?”

Greenhouse gases have to contribute to global warming to some degree, but it is not certain how much, because other phenomena may contribute to global warming, including increased numbers of high energy particles that are thrown from the sun by magnetic storms. There is also the question of the accuracy of the scientific models and equations that link global warming to greenhouse gases. If global warming is an atmospheric phenomenon, why is its most prominent effect the melting of what had been permanent sheets of ice?

The theory proposed here is that global warming is: 1) local rather global; 2) caused mainly by an increase in average temperatures inside the earth. The earth is not getting hotter from the atmosphere down to the surface–it is getting hotter from the inside out to the surface. The cause of “local warming” is the use (misuse) of nuclear energy and nuclear bombs, and the interaction of nuclear events with the quantum vacuum. One might at this point stop reading, or if not, might say something to the effect that there is no way that the energy released by all of the nuclear reactions that have ever taken place on earth since the nuclear age began in1945, is enough to cause any aspect of global warming. However, the energy released by nuclear reactions is not what is causing the earth to warm. Instead, it is the secondary release of energy from the effect that these reactions have on the quantum vacuum.

While there is almost no physical evidence that supports this theory, other than the general evidence of global warming, research could determine whether or not the earth’s interior is undergoing an increase in temperature, and it should also be possible to determine whether increased temperature is local or global. It may be possible to find out what role nuclear reactions play in this increase, but this would be more difficult. In either event, the dangers posed by global warming are great enough to require looking into every phenomenon that might possibly cause it.

The Quantum Vacuum

The existence of the physical state of energy called the vacuum was proposed by P.A.M. Dirac in 1928. Working with quantum mechanics (QM), Dirac showed that because of a square root value in quantum equations, there had to be two (instead of one) quantum value for every quantum property. The positive square root value (the one that was known) defines the “positive” quantum properties of an electron. The negative value was not known of before Dirac, but it defines the “negative” counterparts of the positive states. Based on this theory, electrons should have negative counterparts (now called antiparticles), and this was confirmed when the positron was discovered in 1933 in particle accelerator experiments.

The vacuum provides the quantum energy of the photons that occur when electrons interact in space, and it produces the mass-energy of positrons that are derived from high velocity electrons. It is not known how the vacuum makes these phenomena, but their occurrence proves that the vacuum exists. The vacuum or zero point energy that makes vacuum phenomena has been estimated to be the energy equivalent (E) of 5 x 10 93 grams per cubic centimeter of mass (m), where: m = E/c2 , where “c” is the speed of light. In recent years, several theories have been proposed that link the vacuum with the following phenomena:

1. The vacuum or zero point energy prevents the hydrogen atom’s electron from collapsing into its proton nucleus, something that cannot be explained by conventional theory (Puthoff).
2. By resisting their motion through space, vacuum energy gives particles the property of inertial mass (Rueda).
3. Gravity is a vacuum effect, where the EM field produced by the atom’s internal charges (its protons and electrons) neutralizes the effects of the vacuum inside, but not outside the atom, the result of which is a net inward force, or gravity (Sakharov and Puthoff).
4. The long range charge of the electron is masked by the negative energy of the vacuum, which creates a positive charge hole.
5. The Lamb shift, a slight broadening of the frequency spectrum of hydrogen, is produced when the atom’s lone electron interacts with the zero point energy.

The vacuum is what might be called an “equilibrium phenomenon.” It maintains the equilibrium of interacting electrons by sending photons to the sites where they occur. These photons generate positron – electron pairs, which occur with the weak nuclear force, also a component of the interaction. The earth is also an equilibrium phenomenon, or more precisely, a phenomenon in equilibrium. The earth’s mantle is considerably hotter than its surface, and its core is hot enough to turn its metal atoms (mostly iron and nickel) into a heavy, plastic like mass of material. If the temperature of the earth’s interior were to increase, the plasticity of its surface (crust) would likewise increase, the results of which would be an increase in the frequency and magnitude of earthquakes and volcanic activity. If the heating were great enough, the earth’s weather and geography could change substantially.
