Don't you sit here and tell me two stories in 20 minutes hillbilly. Is the average TEMPERATURE of THE ATMOSPHERE at large,
LOWER than the TEMPERATURE of the PLANET it's WASHING HEAT off of, or NOT?
We can take three days while you face up to the fact the atmosphere is a COLD NITROGEN FLUID BATH, therm-0-billy.
It's up to you how painful it is for your stupid #$%.
I think the average temperature in the atmosphere is lower than the average surface temp. Do you think that negates AGW somehow? Please tell us how that works. The atmosphere does not represent a cold nitrogen bath.
OBVIOUSLY you're suffering from some kind of nearly permanent learning disability like Mr My Flashlight Won't Come On in the Daytime.
You've got major problems if you're unable to verify for yourself the atmosphere is on average many degrees colder than the planet, and is made almost entirely of Nitrogen and Oxygen.
When scientists count up the temperature of the Earth what is the first thing they check?
They check to see how much light is striking the surface, don't they.
When they start off with one value at the top of the atmosphere,
and wind up with another value about 22% lower at the SURFACE,
WHAT in YOUR estimation, HAPPENED to NEARLY a QUARTER of the sun's
otherwise available warming firelight spectra?
In other words we know it didn't reach the surface but what happened to it?
We most CERTAINLY don't COUNT that part - the difference between the TOP of atmosphere
and the bottom.
We start with ONE wattage at the TOP,
then at the SURFACE, we have a LOWER wattage don't we.
WHAT MADE that LIGHT not REACH the SURFACE?
This is your story about how a cold nitrogen oxygen bath is a heater so - you can at LEAST help
with WHAT you THINK MADE that LIGHT not WARM the PLANET.
Find out how many watts difference there are,
and WHAT makes those energy spectra NEVER WARM the PLANET.
