Global warming experiment for beginners
Okay, inspired by Marina's post on heat capacity (surely not a girl?), anyone can do this experiment at home and disprove global warming for themselves.
Equipment:Water
Saucepan
Ice cubes
Thermometer
Bunsen burner
Method:Water and ice placed into a saucepan. A thermometer shows the initial temperature of the water to be 2 degrees centigrade. Heat is applied to the saucepan and is continued to be applied until I got bored and went home.
Conclusion:No increase in temperature of the water was detected during the experiment. Rather, despite continued and vigorous heating, the temperature dropped and maintained zero degrees centigrade. This is not fully explained but it is concluded that a saucepan warming theory is complete and utter bulltulip. HTHComment
