You're full of shit. You still, after years, have no source that supports your one-way only photon flow or your matter at equilibrium ceases radiating beliefs.
Only all the laws of thermodynamics...and every observation ever made...
IR from the surface is absorbed by GHGs in the atmosphere.
That results in an atmosphere warmer than it would be absent those GHGs.
Call that whatever you want.
Mental masturbation...and an infantile need to not be wrong. Sorry guy, IR does not warm the air...the air is warmed by the exchange of energy between molecules via conduction...not IR.....and water vapor is the reason that we don't freeze to death..delete the wisp of CO2 from the atmosphere and the difference in temperature wouldn't be measurable..
There is no radiative greenhouse effect...No less than Maxwell, Clausius, and Carnot said that Arrhenius was way off track with his radiative greenhouse effect hypothesis...
Since I'm not defending any definition of greenhouse effect, so what?
You got that right...you aren't defending jack...but you still believe...and without the first piece of actual observed, measured evidence...
Feel free to discuss incoming UV all you want. Is it absorbed by the surface?
What does the surface emit in turn? UV or IR?
So since the incoming UV is changed to IR, you accept that the emission from the earth is not UV but IR...but even though the energy that is captured via collision and is responsible for the temperature of the atmosphere is not IR, you still claim that IR is what warms the atmosphere? Funny that you can't see the flaw in your thinking...but then, you never could.
