CO2 and the atmosphere dont 'warm' the surface. they change the equilibrium at the surface as the sun's input goes through the system and exits into space.
The claim of climate science (aside from your own description of the mechanism by which CO2 causes warming) is that CO2 radiates IR from the atmosphere back to the surface where it is reabsorbed and causes warming.
FAQ 1.3 - AR4 WGI Chapter 1: Historical Overview of Climate Change Science
Page 115 - Frequently asked question 1.3
"what is the greenhouse effect"
"The Sun powers Earth’s climate, radiating energy at very short wavelengths, predominately in the visible or near-visible (e.g., ultraviolet)part of the spectrum.
Roughly one-third of the solar energy that reaches the top of Earth’s atmosphere is reflected directly back to space. The remaining two-thirds is absorbed by the surface and, to a lesser extent, by the atmosphere. To balance the absorbed incoming energy, the Earth must, on average, radiate the same amount of energy back to space.
Because the Earth is much colder than the Sun, it radiates at much longer wavelengths, primarily in the infrared part of the spectrum (see Figure 1). Much of this thermal radiation emitted by the land and ocean is absorbed by the atmosphere, including clouds, and reradiated back to Earth. This is called the greenhouse effect."
You like to go on about what you call "my" theories on radiation when your own ideas about how CO2 causes warming are off the reservation as well ian. Climate science officilaly states that backradiation from the atmosphere back to the surface of the earth is the mechanism of the greenhouse effect, not the (also impossible) "slowing down" IR in its exit from the atmosphere.
Now you didn't come up with the idea that CO2 slows down IR from exiting the atmosphere any more than I came up with the physical laws, science, and mathematics that I use to support my position. Those that I reference, however, are not only supported, but are predicted by the laws of physics. (which, by the way is the reason that I believe they are correct) Those you use, on the other hand, are neither supported nor predicted by the laws of physics, and as you have shown repeatedly, you must alter the statements of the various laws in order for your position to even begin to make sense. This is the pseudoscience that you have adopted because it supported your already held belief that CO2 somehow must have the capacity to cause warming.
You picked the wrong horse ian. When will you admit it.
Oh, wow, Wienerbitch went to an FAQ. You got an estimate, for EFFECTS, of radiation, including backradiation, which diffuse, after you spammed up these threads, a couple of weeks ago, with crap, theorizing neat reflectivity, by clouds, as if the Earth's water works like a tin-foil hat.
Since you are so methodical, regal queen Wienerbitch, I see you have worked out "effect," to the degree needed, to go after FAQs, at a website, describing an "effect."
Let's see if you can get to FAQs about GWP for all the different kinds of methane and other GHGs. GWP looks like pretty good effect-theory, to me. Of course, now that you are into effects, you can quote yourself and fuck yourself, and ask yourself, frequently, why don't you, Wienerbitch, take off with your wingpunks, and fly up each others' butts?
Don't forget to go over to Dr. Climate Change, and see if the staff will answer you, if you can't get to FAQs, where you've been doing that, finally. I guess your FAQ trend means you, Wienerbitch are smart, for a stupid, posing queer.
You sure are an effete, bullshitting, chickenshitting bitch, trying to play "effects." Calc this
