I just laugh at the shear ignorance of those who think they have the facts all sewn up yet they cant even understand basic energy transfer in our atmosphere.
The very basic premise of energy flow calls AGW a lie. One must consider many things when looking at our atmosphere. Can the molecules react to the energy present? How long can the molecule hold onto the energy? How much energy is consumed by the molecule? IF the molecule collides, during its energy residency time, how much energy is transmitted as kinetic energy?
In order to answer these question you must know in which of the 8 ways a molecule will stretch, expand or bend its magnetic bonds with other molecules in the compound. Only 3 of the ways will result in warming of the molecule. Then you must also know how long a molecule can hold on to energy.
No one here is even remotely concerned with the facts. All you see is your political agenda and power. One of our resident idiots likes to post up the bandpass graph of our atmosphere, yet he doesn't have a clue about what it represents. Warming of a gas can only happen within the regions that it is reactive to the energy passing through it and only if the molecule reacts and the energy is trapped long enough for the molecule to consume some of it. All these factors have to happen in the proper sequence and in a duration long enough to cause warming...
This is precisely why LWIR can not warm the atmosphere...
