I don't need to have a scientific argument. I'm not the guy making
extraordinary claims that need serious experiments and observations to
support my position, while you are!

Claudius Denk:
You're not getting it. All of the laboratory evidence indicates that H2O
boils at temperatures much higher than are in the atmosphere. All of it.
There is exactly zero laboratory evidence that contradicts this. So, is it
an extraordinary claim to say that the same is true in the atmosphere? I
think not. James is not making an extraordinary claim. Meteorology has made
the extraordinary claim. Not Mcginn.

pnal...@gmail.com:
Wrong, terribly wrong. The boiling point of H2O has little to do with
gaseous H2O in the atmosphere at temps less than the boiling point. Jim
McGinn is stupidity personified. Not a single experiment or observation to
support his position. Not one.

Claudius Denk:
LOL. Moreover McGinn predicted that none of you would ever be able to find
the evidence of gaseous H2O at ambient temperatures. And so far nobody has.

pnal...@gmail.com:
Hundreds of thousands of people have found such evidence, Bozo...

Claudius Denk:
Do they all live on some lost continent?

Poutnik:
And all of the laboratory evidence indicates that H2O vapour pressure
increases exponentially with temperature and the boiling point is just the
temperature at which it equals external pressure.

Claudius Denk:
Do you not realize you just confirmed McGinn's point? Try answering this
question. Why do you think that the exponential increase just happens to
stop at the boiling temperature? Think about what's happening on the
molecular level. Think real hard.

Poutnik:
What is very strange is that only one person in the entire world who agrees
with McGinn,

Claudius Denk:
The history of science has shown that counting the number of people that
agree with you is a really bad way to do science.
