Everything You Need to Know About Global Warming in 5 Minutes

Show consistant evidence to back up the Global Warming claims. They couldn't do it so it became "Climate Change". A term that can't really be nailed down or rebuked because the climate chages all the time.
The Global Warming/Climate Change folks want us to move from oil/fossil fuels, to solar/wind/geothermal/tidal power but when someone wants to build such a facility the very people that say we need to get off of fossil fuels cry about having an alternative energy plant in their area. It happens everytime.
It's amazing how every paper published on the "warming" comes up with different numbers. Some say we're raising temps by 1-2 degrees a year, other say 1-2 degrees a decade, some call for the flooding of coastal cities ect, but whenever their data is scrutinized there is always information ommitted to make the numbers work out to their predetermind findings.
Missing temperature readings from polar regions for example. They leave the coldest climate info out of the equation, thus raising the temperature.
Scientist bring up the fact that the Sun in in a warming period and Global War,ing/Climate change people dismiss it saying that the sun can't have that kind of effect on the Earth's climate.
The real problem is the believers fell for Gore's scam hook, line, and stinker.

BS Fail is Fail.

I think you meant "some solutes." Table salt's solubility increases pretty close to linearly with temperature, and only slightly at that. The solubility of some substances decreases with increasing temperature (sodium sulfate, for example, (iirc.)) Regardless, this point is ridiculous since A) I doubt you're even remotely close to saturation even at room temperature. At 20C, the solubility of sugar... oh heck, just think of how much sugar is dissolved in an ice cold can of soda. And, most non-polar things, such as oil, do not dissolve in water anyway.
And more importantly B) Washing dishes is both a mechanical and chemical process. There are surfactants added to compliment the mechanical process of using a washcloth, sponge, etc., removes the majority of the food.

There actually was a study done on restaurants and washing temperatures. While the FDA insists on 110F for washing (ditto health departments), it was found that when washed properly, temperature made little difference. Furthermore, the reason for the temperature had less to do with dissolving materials and more to do with killing bacteria.

OK, if you want to go that route... The equilibrium solubility doesn't have much to do with it unless you are soaking the stuff - it is the removal rate we're interested in. Mass transfer rates increase nonlinearly with temperature due to changes in solubility, diffusivity, and viscosity. Increasing temperature results in higher solubility of most solid and liquid solutes (while lowering that of gases), increases the diffusivity of any species, and decreases viscosity - all three of these trends support higher mass transfer coefficients. Soap and water are combined to get hydrophobic substances off of a surface you're trying to clean. As temperature increases, hydrophobicity becomes less of an obstacle as the ratio of surface energy to enthalpy of mixing decreases dramatically. So yes, you can use a combination of surfactants and temperature to more easily remove some solutes, particularly those that bond more strongly to the surface you're trying to clean.

You're showing your ignorance. The term "climate change" been in use since the at least the late 1980s. Want proof?

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is a scientific intergovernmental body tasked with evaluating the risk of climate change caused by human activity. The panel was established in 1988 by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), two organizations of the United Nations.

Do you think building a windmill always has a net negative carbon footprint?

Sorry. Couldn't resist.

I spam a lot of articles on Climate Change
