The Greenhouse Gases and Infrared Radiation Misconceived by Thermoelectric Transducers

Hello everyone, I have recently put out my second paper called   The Greenhouse Gases and Infrared Radiation Misconceived by Thermoelectric Transducers complementary to my earlier paper  Quantum Mechanics and Raman Spectroscopy Refute Greenhouse Theory . As the title(s) suggest, I spent a lot of time on those titles, but the greenhouse gases are no more than the thermo-electric gases. Moreover, radiation theory is all based on thermoelectrics; I have also addressed this. I have concluded that all gases are greenhouse gases. According to quantum mechanics, they all absorb and emit IR radiation; we just need two instruments to measure them. The so-called greenhouse gases are really the thermoelectric gases. There are no special gases, only special instruments. There has been a systematic error. Read a summary article I put together:  Settling The Climate Woo With Quantum-Based Raman Spectroscopy

THE FULL COMPLEMENT OF GREENHOUSE GASES

I have now published my theory of the atmosphere.  Augmenting 19th Century Thermoelectric Greenhouse Theory with 20th Century Quantum Mechanics Raman Spectroscopy: Towards a Coherent Radiation Theory of the Atmosphere THE FULL COMPLEMENT OF GREENHOUSE GASES This is a diagram of all the vibrational modes ('absorption bands') of the Earth's atmospheric gases; in the near-infrared range of the electromagnetic spectrum. Gases are detected by thermoelectric thermopile or bolometer detectors (below), 'what is incorrectly termed 'IR spectroscopy'; and by thermoelectric's complement, Raman (Laser Lidar) spectroscopy (above). Notice that O2 and N2 (some 99% of the dry atmosphere) are only detected using Raman spectroscopy. This is due to their one (and only) vibrational mode being non-thermoelectric: they both have only symmetric vibrational modes, with no electric dipole moments to generate an electric charge by the thermopile and so are not transduced and ...

The Gassy Messenger: the magic of IR thermopiles

I have now published my updated theory of the atmosphere.  Augmenting 19th Century Thermoelectric Greenhouse Theory with 20th Century Quantum Mechanics Raman Spectroscopy: Towards a Coherent Radiation Theory of the Atmosphere Update: 22,04,2015 I have recently (and finally) published: Reinterpreting and Augmenting John Tyndall’s 1859 Greenhouse Gas Experiment with Thermoelectric Theory and Raman Spectroscopy  at: academia.edu/  and http://vixra.org/abs/1504.0165  . Here is a youtube presentation of my findings: Abstract Climate science's fundamental premise – assumed by all parties in the great climate debate – says the greenhouse gases – constituting less than 2% of Earth’s atmosphere, first derived by John Tyndall in his 1859 thermopile experiment and demonstrated graphically today by infrared IR spectroscopy – are special because of their IR (heat) absorbing property. From this, it is – paradoxically – assumed the (remaining 98%) ...
