The Dunn Raman Spectroscopy Climate Debate Fallacy
The Dunn Fallacy A persistent fallacy has developed from a group of thinkers as part of a rebuttal to my work, primarily from physicist Michael Dunn, whom I have communicated with extensively on this issue and to whom I give name credit on his claim. This is a strawman fallacy. Dunn and others respond to my work (words to the effect): "Blair, there is no Raman effect in the atmosphere that contributes to the greenhouse effect". This is something I have never claimed and never thought of claiming because it is just not true. No one has ever suggested this. Dunn and others have brought this claim into existence in a red herring fallacy or a special pleading fallacy. Dunn and others are maintaining, saving the status quo, that only the IR-active spectra emit and absorb IR heat radiation and the Raman active modes do not. I am proposing radiating pure N2 with infrared heat and measuring the temperature change (or not) with the Raman CARS spectrometer. I h...
