27. No, they were debunked. He claims that waste heat accounts for some 75% of global warming.
It is easily shown that waste heat is 1/80th that of simple CO2 forcing. CO2 forcing which is proven by this thing we call physics.

The only "preconceived notions" that I have are thatthings like the laws of thermodynamics don't just go away because someone magically makes something up to fit their own preconceived notions.

No doubt waste heat contributes something, I mean, back to that whole laws of thermodynamics thing, but it certainly does not under any circumstances contribute "75%" of global warming heating. Sorry, it doesn't.

If it did then we would have to figure out why the fuck CO2 under Bo Nerdell's model actually doesn't behave the way it does in the laboratory. Until he explains why it doesn't, then his theory is clearly incomplete, and scientifically wrong.
