Why the implications of the "heat creep" process turn current thinking on its head.

Like most people, you probably think planets are all just cooling off from some original and much hotter state.  Right?  Wrong!

For starters, there is no compelling evidence that the planet Uranus is losing any energy at all, and so why, we might ask, is the base of its 350Km high nominal troposphere hotter than Earth's global mean surface temperature when the planet is over 19 times further from the Sun than we are and no solar radiation reaches down there?

Yes, Jupiter is known to be losing energy having greater outward radiative flux than the incident solar radiation. But that is because, unlike Uranus, it has no solid core to help prevent it slowly collapsing.  As it does so potential energy converts to kinetic energy and temperature is proportional to the mean molecular kinetic energy.  It is this extra kinetic energy which increases the outward radiation.  So this exception does not prove wrong what I am about to explain. 

And, just in case you're losing interest, thinking all this is irrelevant, in fact it has everything to do with why carbon dioxide and methane do not, and never will raise the surface temperature of Earth.  The detailed proof is in my 2013 paper "Planetary Core and Surface Temperatures."

In the above-mentioned paper I explain from the Second Law of Thermodynamics how the process I called "heat creep" takes place in all planetary systems from the top of the troposphere, through the crust and mantle and down to the core.

This discovery is as significant as when it was understood that the Earth is in orbit around the Sun, and not vice versa.  We can deduce that planets are not cooling but rather were originally warmed up to current temperatures by energy from the Sun. 

If you think about it, this must be the case because the original matter must have passed through interstellar Space where the temperature is only a degree or two above absolute zero.  When some of the matter got trapped in orbit around the Sun then the gravitational force between such lumps of matter has drawn them together into some rough shape.  But, as solar energy warmed them to melting point, they took on spherical shapes becoming planets and moons.  The core of our Moon, for example, is kept at over 1,300°C.

All this evidence supports the "heat creep" hypothesis that is correctly explained from long-standing and valid laws of physics, and that process is what keeps you alive by warming the Earth's surface.  It is not radiation from carbon dioxide, methane or water vapor that does so. 

Plan your company's future knowing that the false science of climatology will soon be overthrown and related laws withdrawn.
