If less solar radiation was reflected during the lockdown, it stands to reason that more was absorbed, contributing to “global warming”. Meaning when we don’t drive and travel and produce and consume as much, we exacerbate the problem?

[@solanumtinkr8280]

Earth Shine... OK then, let's go with that! Run it to it's logical conclusion! So for the Moon to get colder during Lock Down, the Earth would have had to be adsorbing more heat/light from the Sun? That would be the conclusion from that first paper, as it's reflection not heat directly from Earth.... That would be... unexpected, it would also turn global models on their head (not a minor error if that were true), the reverse of what that first paper seemed to be pushing in refence to Lockdown, sloppy work... Very sloppy, seems to have been a conclusion looking for a paper to publish in, rather than the normal reverse. Good video, Anton🤗

[@bodiless99]

Agreed 100%. Greenhouse gases went down, meaning Earth should have been radiating MORE heat, thus warming the moon. If they want to spin it as decreased earth albedo caused the moon the cool, it means the Earth WARMED because we produced LESS greenhouse gases. They cannot have their cake and eat it too.

[@peterdeans4635]

What if the environment in our local space was the reason for the lockdown. I was looking at the list of symptoms and they reminded me how I used to feel the day after I had been roasted by the sun when I was younger. Very early in the lockdown I remember people were found in their gardens after dropping while pruning their roses when they were fine the day before. They made quite a big deal in the media and the directive was given ,,don't go out at all if you can avoid it,,,. Normally a doctor would advise to get some fresh air and sun, it didn't make much sense.

Good video. Both you and the researchers don't seem to be aware of the pretty big change in reflectivity based on a change in the formulations of the fuel used for oceanic shipping in 2020. Check it out if you get a chance. It's interesting. Here's a brief except from google on it, "In 2020, new international shipping regulations drastically cut sulfur emissions from ships, leading to a sharp reduction in the formation of bright, reflective clouds known as “ship tracks.” These clouds had been playing a subtle but significant role in cooling the planet by reflecting sunlight back into space."

[@DudaelMorgan]

Was a counter balance to climate warming ?

[@carmenmccauley585]

Yikes!

[@RobertCampsall]

@@DudaelMorgan In one way, yes, but does it actually counter balance the increase in greenhouse gasses created by those same exhaust emissions? I don't mean to say you're incorrect, because you're not in that one dimension, however we also have to account for the acidification of the ocean (and rain) due to atmospheric sulfuric acid that was caused by those sulfur emissions. That's why some geoengineers think putting sulfur compounds into the upper atmosphere will lead to cooling - which it will, to some degree but at what cost? So, yes, a tiny bit of cooling lost but without a lot more calculations to decide the true cost of either.

[@tvviewer4500]

Sure they have

[@Yezpahr]

So what you're suggesting is that they changed that formula and then they changed it back to the old formula or started cheating? I think it was just the fact *all* industries cut down on emissions, including the ones burning/exhausting certain unregulated things (which indeed the shipping industry was very guilty of).

[@stevenkarnisky411]

Earth's albedo varies depending on the total amount cloud cover, regardless of the level of pollutants present. The extreme brightness of Venus is directly attributed to it's dense, uniform cloud cover. These dips may occur because of periodic variations in weather patterns.

[@Holy.HannaH]

Let's also not forget(among the many possibilities mentioned by other folks) that iodine is also increasing in the atmosphere which contributes to the depletion of the ozone. However, my guess would be that its due to the effects of the solar activity on what little electromagnetic field the moon has. Allowing it to retain a bit more warmth in places at times before it decreases again.

The energy the Earth reflects is not OLR (outgoing longwave radiation. Longwave in the atmospheric physics jargon means the thermal emission of the Earth in the infrared (we do not see it). It's the one affected by greenhouse gases. What the Earth reflects is the shortwave range, the one (mostly visible light) which is emitted by the Sun. I think both the shortwave reflection (albedo) and OLR affect the Moon temperature but they are two different things.

[@slartybarfastb3648]

It seems to me that the dramatic decrease in high altitude contrails, absent during the lockdowns, would have drastically reduced albedo.

[@Lightningchase1973]

I guesstimate, short way reflected light is the thing. Less planes, less high clouds, less earth shine... The greenhouse gasses still used, only slower, do no big change... And definitely, white high clouds, do some job...

[@DSAK55]

@@Lightningchase1973 if that were correct then it would be easy to confirm

[@mrbaab5932]

Longwave Infrared radiation is roughly 7.5um to 15um wavelengths with CO2 absorption around 10 um and another around 14.5um wavelengths. Shortwave Infrared radiation is 1um to 3um wavelengths. Midwave Infrared radiation is roughly 3um to 5um wavelengths and has a CO2 absorption band around 4.5 um. Visible radiation is 0.4um to .7um during the day and 9.4 to .8um with dark adapted eyes 👀. Visible is not included in the Shortwave Infrared radiation band.

[@cyber5515]

There was another researcher in the US who studied temperature on earth during the Sept. 11 shutdown. He also found the temperature on earth went up when the planes stopped flying. He speculated that this was due to less particulate matter in the atmosphere (global dimming), but he could be wrong there. => This moon temperature research suggests changes to the upper atmospheric gas composition affects how the upper atmosphere reflects heat. i.e. more plane emissions means more mirrorball effect.

Major flaw in premise of excluding moon's daytime temps. Variations in lunar daytime peak temps will have a direct effect on night time temps, same as here on earth. Probably even more so on the moon since there is no "weather" to affect it.

[@blacksmith67]

The Moon’s daytime is roughly the same as a lunar month since it’s tidally locked to Earth.

uhm.. The conclusion seems to be the reverse of what makes sense to me. If the concentration of greenhouse gasses on earth is lower during lockdowns, then less light gets absorbed in the atmosphere on its way in and on its way back. Thus, earth reflects more light from the sun back into space, thus more of this reflected light reaches the moon. But the moon got colder instead.

This emission is always affecting the moon, unlike reflected light, which only affects the moon when it is between the earth and the sun.

Forget about future changes to the moon in the future. This study implies that lunar temperatures changed dramatically in response to terrestrial climate - my guess is Moon was like 10-20°C during each Snowball Earth period, as Earthshine would've been far more intense. Ditto for regular glaciations, though not in an extreme way - and the inverse, temperate and hot periods were causing the Moon's pro-Earth side to be colder.

[@adelinad3513]

​@@Saleca😢 yes. Can't you tell?

[@charlescowan6121]

@Saleca It's consuming resources that could be allocated to something far more important. I feel the same way about national defense in the usa, a trillion dollars that be used for far more important things. "Scientific research " has become a black hole, it just sucks everything in.

[@Saleca]

@@adelinad3513 i am sorry but i was answering the original comment, regarding this study being pointless. I wonder, do you know how many "pointless" actions were needed for us to reach where we are?

[@yvonnemiezis5199]

Interesting finding ,thanks👍❤

[@raymondcoventry1221]

Some scientists need direction on what they study, and these are some of them.

... there are culture's that consider the moon a kind of mirror.

[@Sylvie_X]

Why? If there is some connection between human activity on Earth, and what happens outside our planet, like the moon, you don't want to understand why? Where is your curiosity?

[@PsillyApeUSA]

Goes to show our collective energy stretches very far, and vice versa

[@iceshadow487]

It's insane for some people to believe that we as a species, who literally cover the entire surface of the earth, who have the potential to wipe out all life on the planet and have already caused mass extinctions, who's presence can be seen from space, somehow could not also cause the earth to rise in temperature, or affect other nearby solar bodies. We are very powerful, it's just a matter of time until we grow up.

[@Dethmeister]

He concluded that the lockdowns didn't change the temperature of the moon.

[@adelinad3513]

​@Dethmeister who cares about his conclusion or the who's conclusion? We know. It was our emotions

If it happens regularly, what is the position of the moon when this happens? How far are the earth/moon from the sun during the dips?

[@gerardmoloney9979]

So the earth was reflecting less heat during lock down sugesting CO2 helps reflect heat not trap heat.

[@Biggles732]

It's the nanoparticles emitted from planes , ships, vehicles and industry that reflect radiation from the sun . CO2 still is a greenhouse gas.

[@cyber5515]

CO2 is the main gas emitted by planes. So yes, the CO2 could be having a "mirrorball" effect on the upper atmosphere. The brightest object in the night sky is Venus, who's atmosphere is 99% CO2. This shows atmospheric CO2 reflects solar radiation.

[@gerardmoloney9979]

@@Biggles732 CO2 is plant food essential for life on planet earth. It's effects on climate is negligible. It has a maximum limited affect just like adding red paint to a door doesn't make it any redder. God knows what he's doing. It makes the planet greener and that's what we want. Stop listening to LIARS like Al Gore. He knows nothing about climate or CO2. None of his predicted changes have happened. Think for yourself and read the Bible for yourself. Maranatha

[@ganrjago]

Could it be a leap year effect and emissions, i.e. differtent axis? They did not cosider 2016 and 2024

"If everyone in China Sharts brutally at once would it change the colour of crap nebula out of lanieka" ..is the title of my peer reviewed paper😂

[@LordAzland]

As the only thing that could (of any substance) affect the temperatures on the moon, why no mention of solar activity?

[@bobman929]

I hope tax payer money wasn't wasted on this research

[@2handsandwiches]

Don't worry,you only pay taxes to give you the illusion your fiat currency holds any value, ..

[@AceSpadeThePikachu]

I wonder what a new moon (in complete shadow) would have looked like during the cryogenian, when the Earth probably had the same albedo as Enceladus.

[@mykelevangelista6492]

Maybe the moon has seasons. That's just as plausible.

[@peterfireflylund]

Surely it must have months, it’s literally in the name!

[@adelinad3513]

28 days moons just like our women cycle here on hearth. Ever though of that? Your biorithm is connected too.

[@cobalius]

this is an odd question to have right after waking up...

[@critchee]

Here’s an idea. Speaking from the UK. We had the clearest skies and season s came back. The first time Iveer seen all airplanes grounded. 🤔

[@iceshadow487]

The effects of COVID on the ecosystems of the world were amazing. Surprise surprise, when everyone stopped dumping smog into the air, things got better!

[@Biggles732]

The earth got just a little warmer from the cleaner atmosphere. First time ever Siberia reached 40°c inside the Arctic circle in 2020 .Extreme weather events and fires increased.

[@martinr2040]

Anton, i would really love to see a climate science overview from you. There are a suprising amount of scientists who disagree with the mainstream interpretation and present good evidence, which i cant understand fully myself.

[@MalcolmYoung-h4k]

My money is on sulphur dioxide. in 2018 many coal plants got retired and some took early adoption of the reduced sulphur shipping rules. in 2019 the shipping rules came into force and in lockdown, reduced industry did the same. it is worse than just cooling the moon. THAT is the energy that slipped through our sulphur shield and warmed our oceans.

[@lilahsadventures5717]

Also when you think about it. A lot of pollution just stopped for the first time in how long,so yes it may have had some impact among other factors.

[@Daryl-u9j]

Go out during a full moon and a infrared thermometer. Point it at the area where the moon is shining vs in the shadow. The area where it is shining is colder than the the shadow.

[@nco_gets_it]

no, it makes not sense. Whether people on earth go to office or not does not affect the temp on the moon. Period.

[@nco_gets_it]

this is as ridiculous as the paper a while back saying that temperature on earth affects Jupiter's red spot. How physicists have come to the concept that earth, not the sun is the source of all things in the solar system would be hilarious if were not so medieval.

[@squa_81]

​@@nco_gets_it Are you sure that a significant change in the lunar night's dominant light source 's green house Gaz levels would have zero effect on temperature during the lunar night?

[@KarstenJohansson]

Having noticed this, does the moon have a temperature fluctuation pattern that doesn't result in longer term "harmonic" cycles? Or is it 16 years of an uneventful sine wave with this singular spike by -5 degrees?
