if the real information was available, it would show what a scam all of this is!!3) What is the coupling/relationship of IR radiation with temperature?What's wrong with it, where are things inaptly put, where do we need clarification?
4) What has the given temperature of the earth to do with anything, it is left hanging like an irrelevant factoid.
5) How does an increased infrared opacity of the atmosphere lead to an effective radiation into space from a higher altitude at a lower temperature?
I agree; those are important points at some level. I think part of this whole exercise is what is the target audience. High school level? General college level? Basic college physics level. My interest is involved in the down and dirty math, but I think that's beyond the scope of this forum.
My problem is that as IanC said in his OP there is a dearth of information. I tried looking at the general level of the OP, but it's buried in references that are impossible to get unless you pay $10 to $30 for a reprint of one paper that may not have what you thought it was. The IPCC only lightly summarizes the theory behind GHG's in what I could find.
