Why does the greenhouse effect only work in one direction?

[rupol2000]

Modern science as a basis proposes not to be based on experience, but to build everything on a previously invented dogmatics. This is the same method as the Christian scholastics.

 

[Colin norris]

You did not understand, I meant scientific experience

Oh so your a scientist also. I apologise.
I was assuming you were just another idiot that makes outrageous ratbag statements on religious grounds or you don't research anything.

If the greenhouse effect is due to the atmosphere not transmitting infrared radiation from the earth to the sky, then how does it transmit them in the opposite direction, from the sky to the earth?

Visible light from the Sun (mostly) isn't blocked by the atmosphere.

 

[Crick]

And that visible light warms the land and the sea. And being warmed, they radiate energy in the infrared band, which IS absorbed by the atmosphere. This acts as a blanket and slows the escape of that energy to space and thus increases the temperature of the planet.

sure that visible light only?

 

[rupol2000]

in fact, the atmosphere delays for the most part, on the contrary, the ultrashort spectrum

 

[toobfreak]

modern science does not use the scientific method

WHAT? You one of "those" people, eh?

 

[toobfreak]

Speculative dogmatic method, at least [modern]physics

So you can make an analytic critique of physics while not even understanding the tenets of basic thermodynamics well enough to understand the mechanism of IR trapping and heating?

blablabla

blablabla

I'd say he GOTCHA .

Maybe think before you post.

Lysenkoism (Russian: Лысенковщина, romanized: Lysenkovshchina, [ɫɨˈsɛnkəfɕːʲɪnə], Ukrainian: лисенківщина, romanized: lysenkivščyna, [ɫɨˈsɛŋkɪwʃt͡ʃɪnɐ]) was a political campaign led by Trofim Lysenko against genetics and science-based agriculture in the mid-20th century, rejecting natural selection in favour of a form of Lamarckism, as well as expanding upon the techniques of vernalization and grafting. In time, the term has come to be identified as any deliberate distortion of scientific facts or theories for purposes that are deemed politically, religiously or socially desirable.

More than 3,000 mainstream biologists were dismissed or imprisoned, and numerous scientists were executed in the campaign to suppress scientific opponents. The president of the Agriculture Academy, Nikolai Vavilov, who had encouraged Lysenko, was sent to prison and died there, while Soviet genetics research was effectively destroyed. Research and teaching in the fields of neurophysiology, cell biology, and many other biological disciplines were harmed or banned.

Other countries of the Eastern Bloc including the People's Republic of Poland, the Republic of Czechoslovakia, and the German Democratic Republic accepted Lysenkoism as the official "new biology", to varying degrees, as did the People's Republic of China for some years.

Did I ever say only?

 

[rupol2000]

Did I ever say only?

in that case, what did you mean by that? Infrared radiation goes both ways. From Sun to Earth too

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

Infrared goes both ways, but visible light is (mostly) unimpeded.

 

[justoffal]

The "greenhouse effect" that global warming doomsday cult moonbats incessantly and mindlessly and stupidly refer to is an extremely misleading term.

Greenhouses do not work by blocking infrared light. They work by suppressing convection.

Exactly

 

[rupol2000]

Infrared goes both ways, but visible light is (mostly) unimpeded.

And? What does this have to do with the topic under discussion?

 

[westwall]

What does science use?

Real science is bound by the scientific method. Pseudo science, is not. Climatologists pushing the global warming fraud, are Pseudo science aficianados.

 

[justoffal]

If the greenhouse effect is due to the atmosphere not transmitting infrared radiation from the earth to the sky, then how does it transmit them in the opposite direction, from the sky to the earth?

The basic theory is based on the Earth's reflectivity index. Mind you this is still only a theory but this is how they think it works. A certain percentage of the Sun's light is reflected back out into space from the surface of the Earth both by water and by certain types of mineral-laden deposits that make up the surface of the Earth. As it makes its way back up through the atmosphere different molecules interact with the light in different ways. Nitrogen is mostly inert and has a very low heat index. CO2 on the other hand can absorb energy from the light passing through the atmosphere which translates into temperature. So the theory is that the denser the CO2 PPM in the atmosphere the more the solar energy trying to escape back into outer space becomes trapped as a heat transfer to the gases in the atmosphere. This is probably a sound scientific principle. The real question that the anthropogenic argument is based on is whether or not we are responsible for the CO2 increase that we have a detected over the past 100 years. It really is virtually impossible to tell but what's not impossible is continuously finding false information, tampered facts and doctored data in pursuit of an alternate energy agenda which is really just another money vhase no different from the hydrocarbon industry.

A greenhouse allows visible light to enter and slows the escape of infrared.
Just like our atmosphere.

Are you worried the planet will freeze if the
atmosphere stops some infrared from the sun before it reaches Earth's surface?
