IanC:
We sure could use a few red-star "back radiation" photons in Manitoba.
Should I read back to you what you said (last year in the Roy Spencer debunking thread) when I compared the CO2 "back radiation" photons to "back radiation" photons from a full moon (which is a lot closer) ?
I'll bite. are you talking about the reflected sunlight coming off the moon or the radiation emitted from the surface?
last year you seemingly agreed with gslacks' owner that photons magically 'expended' themselves against each other, in open space, with no matter present, and that the energy simply vanished. is that still your opinion?
Don`t worry. I`m not trying to play you for a sucker and offer you a barbed hook.
So don`t try that with me !
Like I "seemingly agreed with SSDD".
You know damn well what my position on back radiation is and why it it the same as that:

Three facts should be emphasized here:
In classical radiation theory radiation is not described by a vector field assigning to every space point a corresponding vector. Rather, with each point of space many rays are associated (Figure 3). This is in sharp contrast to the modern description of the radiation field as an electromagnetic field with the Poynting vector field as the relevant
quantity [99].
The constant appearing in the T4 law is not an universal constant of physics.
It strongly depends on the particular geometry of the problem considered.8
The T4-law will no longer hold if one integrates only over a filtered spectrum, appropriate to real world situations.
So if you want to reconsider your position, that`s Okay by me and I won`t stick it into your face later...
But I will if you keep insisting on stuff like that to "explain" back radiation:
And giggle along with the Nuclear Admiral:
Only if you subscribe to the retarded notion that all of the heat from a heat sink fin must radiate straight to the other fin. Of course, only a complete moron could claim something that outrageously stupid. Thus, you do claim that.

And the water in blackened water glass will cool off way quicker than the water in the clear glass right next to it...
Bullshit. Bullshit. Bull-freaking-shit.
Again, you don't have a clue about what a black body is, or how it works.
Any other 'tards here want to back up PolarBear's nutty claim about how a dark object radiates more at the same temperature?
If only the world knew that they could make heat sinks more effective by painting them flat black. Once more, PolarBear has made an amazing new discovery in physics that the rest of humanity had somehow missed
To which I replied:
Why are car radiators painted black

Why are car radiators painted black?
Car radiators are painted black because it emits the most heat through radiation (highest emissivity). This improves the heat transfer out of the radiator when air isn't moving through the radiator.
Thermal radiation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Quote:
A black body is also a perfect emitter. The radiation of such perfect emitters is called
black-body radiation. The ratio of any body's emission relative to that of a black body is the body's
emissivity, so that a black body has an emissivity of unity.
And you said nothing, but were happy when that freak buried it with with a flurry of more "Nuclear Engineering" posts taunting SSDD, Westwall, Gslack etc.
