As an example of what I mean by the ”laws of physics,” take the lake effect snow and the evaporation of water from the lakes, it is true that if the water becomes warmer it will evaporate faster, but there is another factor involved in the rate of evaporation, and that is the atmospheric pressure. Has anyone measured the barometric pressure at the level of the lake water during the variations in the evaporation rate. Why is it assumed that the barometric pressure has no effect in natural phenomenon, when it has been proven to have a very significant effect in laboratory experiments? Why is it assumed that the only energy source that can raise the level of water temperature in a lake is the sun? Has anyone measured the heat output of all industrial operations including all nuclear power plants and their water exhaust temperatures going into the lakes? A lot of little amounts can add up to a large amount, does anyone KNOW how much the little amounts add up to, or are they simply guessing? Also, the chemical explanation such as the, carbon compounds in the atmosphere, does not explain the various effects that seem to be related, such as the temperature increase of the atmosphere and the ocean water plus the increase of the size of the ozone holes at the poles. It is interesting to note that these effects have accelerated during the time that the use of nuclear energy was implemented on the planet.
