Have you ever wondered how hot it can get?
Sometimes the simplest answer is the best answer.

While doing some research this evening I came across a curious video about temperature and how hot temperatures can get.

Here it is for viewing entertainment:

While viewing the above video I couldn't help but recall a much simpler and straightforward explanation of hotness provided by the insightful and delightful Jen Davies. Here is her wonderfully simple and straightforward explanation.

Rarely does anyone provide such concise and detailed explanations of technical issues as Jen.

If only that idiot Brad could quit acting the peanut gallery.

I think it is clear to everyone, the egg headed pseudo scientist quickly began backing himself into a corner with his techno babble jargon. Eventually his “logic” got him so deep into the corner, he ran out of techno bable phrases to explain is way out and could no longer explain his very own his perceived fantasies.

On the other hand, it should be obviously just as clear Jen has a complete grasp of the topic and can clearly the technical details. No thanks to Brad’s moronic interruptions.

What is your take on this very interesting topic?

Although I cannot open the videos you posted, I can say this:

I live in Chongqing, China, which has the reputation in this country as being one of the "three furnaces of China" and in that regard it is well named.  This city-state is a kind of bowl, with the city being surrounded by mountains.  For a big part of the summer the temperatures hover around 40 degrees centigrade and alleviate only slightly at night. On sunny days during the summer the heat is so intense it causes most people to use umbrellas for shade, and many of the plentiful motorbikes have canopy-type covers not only to ward off the sun, but because both late spring and early autumn are rainy seasons.  Here is a photo indicating what I mean about the motorbikes:

"Sometimes the simplest answer is the best answer."
Isn't that known as Occum's Razor?

Sometimes. It has other names - Mountain City, and Misty City.

Buzz, I apologize, I did not provide the link and title.

Everything I wrote is pretty much meaningless without watching the videos.

I hope these can get converted for you.

BTW, thank you for the beautiful picture and information about Chongqing .

What you call techno babble this environmental scientist calls sound science.

I had no idea what Jen was talking about. It was babble. She even had to ask what half of 360 was.

You missed the little humor tag.

My daughter was invited there for a summer when in high school, but lyme prevented her from attending.

P.S. With some of the recent discussion I was in a bit of a mood for fun.

Should mention, this is a physics discussion and has nothing to do with environment, although the environment will definitely have affects from what physics has in store for us as.

Here are the references supporting the discussion in video #1.

Welllll, nothing I posted from beyond the published date survived. Not sure I want to try it again.

I am surprised there are so few challengers to Jen's exquisite explanation.

Are all the deep thinkers caught up in circular political rhetoric?

That's because she's 100% right.....temps can be described in radians.

Finally, someone brave enough to stand out from the crowd and confirm the facts.

Parting knowledge from Jen.

How close is England to the sun?
