Basic Radiation Calculations
The foundation of any calculation of the greenhouse effect was a description of how radiation and heat move through a slice of the atmosphere. At first this foundation was so shaky that nobody could trust the results. With the coming of digital computers and better data, scientists gradually worked through the intricate technical problems. A rough idea was available by the mid 1960s, and by the late 1970s, the calculations looked solid for idealized cases. Much remained to be done to account for all the important real-world factors, especially the physics of clouds. (This genre of one-dimensional and two-dimensional models lay between the rudimentary, often qualitative models covered in the essay on Simple Models of Climate and the elaborate three-dimensional General Circulation Models of the Atmosphere.) Warning: this is the most technical of all the essays
I am sure that you didn't notice (being scripture and all) but there is nothing there more than a claim of some backradiation calculations. They are talking about the calculations used to support the notoriously poor climate models rocks. They are calculating backradiation in models rocks, not providing any observable evidence of backradiation in the real world.
As it has been stated before, you guys have come to the point that you accept output from computer models as if it were actual observed data. That isn't science.
