you still can't prove your position. fail!!!!The greenhouse effect warms the planet by slowing the release of IR, not trapping it forever. As you have noted, as the Earth's temperature has gone up, its OLR has increased. You seem to have missed the critical sup-phrase: "...as the Earth's temperature has gone up"
Actually it doesn't slow the release of IR because if it did, the predicted hot spot would be the inevitable result...there is no hot spot...and slowed cooling does not equal warming...it is not possible for a body to warm itself with its own radiation..if you believe it can, then show me the physical law that says as much.
Actually it doesn't slow the release of IR because if it did,
Every photon of IR that is absorbed by a GHG molecule, instead of instantly escaping into space, is slowed.
and slowed cooling does not equal warming
DERP!
it is not possible for a body to warm itself with its own radiation..

. It's not warming "with its own radiation", it's warming because the solar radiation escapes more slowly. .
Come on Todd, anything that emits from CO2 is a neutral or COOLING process, then you say this confusion:
"it's warming because the solar radiation escapes more slowly. "
Not it means cooling down more slowly, there is no actual increase in warming at all since molecules don't generate any heat by itself. With an increase in CO2 molecules in the atmosphere is an increase in emission rate back to outer space.
I posted HERE that any increase in the postulated warm forcing of CO2 is more than countered by the system energy OUTFLOW from the planet. CO2 increase in the air isn't stopping the increased outflow of energy as clearly shown by Satellites.
Come on Todd, anything that emits from CO2 is a neutral or COOLING process,
You don't think that the CO2 in the atmosphere speeds the escape of IR from the surface, do you?
