Some of this terrestrial radiation is trapped by greenhouse gases and radiated back to the Earth, resulting in the warming of the surface known as the greenhouse effect. As we will see, trapping of terrestrial radiation by naturally occurring greenhouse gases is essential for maintaining the Earth's surface temperature above the freezing point. [/COLOR]
And where is the descirption of the mechanism by which that happens rocks? CO2 absorbs IR and immediately emitts precisely the same amount of energy, and it happens at, or near the speed of light. Where is the "trapping" mechanism? Describe how it might happen and please try to describe it without violating the laws of physics.
Of course this is just a Harvard physicist, and not a Bent all knowing internet poster stating what GHGs do, and how they do it.
I couldn't help but notice that your "harvard physicist" has based his greenhouse hypothesis on a flat earth that doesn't rotate and has no night and 1/4 of the actual amount of incoming solar radiation just like trenberth. Do you believe that a flat earth model can accurately represent the earth's atmosphere in any way resembling reality?
One might ask where your harvard physicist's funding comes from and why he is using a flat earth model and has represented the earth as a black body, and has corrupted the Stefan Boltzman law and the second law of thermodynamics in order to represent a greenhouse effect. Any explanations?
By the way rocks, I provided you with the satellite data over 30 years that show no trapping of outgoing LW radiation whatsoever despite large increases in atmospheric CO2. How do you square that with your harvard physicists claim that a gas with no capacity to trap LW is doing that?
