Gotcha. I was using concentration as in osmosis, for example. Concentration of molecules in a solute or volume of container.


eta: wait...are you saying parts per million of atmospheres is not literally 400 CO2 molecules per 1 million of molecules of the components of air?

Well the atmosphere has a finite volume so I guess talking about atmospheric ppm levels is technically per volume basis even though ppm is dimensionless. Even still, the point is unchanged.

Okay, withdrawing from the original agreement to negotiate new terms? Finally read the article.

Perhaps I should read the article myself before using VN as my sole news source.

It will be too late by then! Trump just single-handedly destroyed the planet, by backing out of an agreement that Obama didn't have the authority to make in the first place.

I looked up definition of ppm.

Ppm: Just as*per*cent means out of a hundred, so*parts per million*or*ppm*means out of amillion. Usually describes the concentration of something in water or soil. One*ppm*is equivalent to 1 milligram of something*per*liter of water (mg/l) or 1 milligram of something*per*kilogram soil (mg/kg).

When your saying dimensionless, your saying we arent talking about a fixed amount of air in a fixed volumne of container (cylinder, sphere, etc). Is that correct; am i understanding you correctly?

I don't know anyone who is skeptical of climate "science" who avoids a more effecient or cheaper way to get stuff done.

Hell, I want to put solar on my house and working on getting our office on it also.

Can we get another doomsday clock going? The date has long passed since Al Gore told us the planet would be destroyed. Trump has triggered another pending catastrophe

In the same way that a fraction is a dimensionless quantity.

It's a well-known fact that climate change only occurs under Republican presidents. Katrina was Bush's fault, the rise of the oceans began to slow and the planet began to heal under Obama, but now Trump has pulled us out of this agreement.

Ok. You lost me. Im gonna go google now so i get on your level

After pissing off old nuerons with definitions, i found a simplified explanation of dimensionless quantity.
Does this adequately define what you're referencing?

Units need definition and conversion factors from system to system, particularly if one wants to build a bridge or plan a road.

Ratio's of quantities where the units are eliminated are universal, whether you are talking of meters or parasangues ( an ancient persian equivalent of kilometer length)

Take the perimeter of a circle and divide it by its diameter. Whatever units you may have used to inscribe the circle, the ratio is*pi, whether a kilometer diameter or an inch diameter.

Given the radius of a circle, whether it is small, in inches, or huge, in kilometers, one can find the perimeter in the appropriate units by multiplying by 2*pi.

This and similar quantities simplify the work not only for geometers, in map making, engineers and architects, but all scientists.

The same is true for units of weight ( don't let me make a long list of them). The ratio allows easy communication and calculations whether for tons or pounds.

That's live? I thought it was a picture of the wave of tears from Hillary supporters on Nov 8, 2016.

Elon Musk, leader of Tesla, just quit as Trump advisor because of this stupid decision. CEO of General Electric just tweeted--"global warming is real." Trumpsters are weird extremists. Trump was laughingstock in Europe, by the way. On the campaign trail, Trump supporters cheered wildly when Trump said he would quit the Paris Accord--and of course none of them know the first thing about the Trump Accord. Trump is a con man--Bannon a crackpot.

Bet Elon keeps sucking from the federal teet, right?

That's the hold up on doing it at the house but since we are an environmental firm, well you do the math.

Math is hard, yo.
