ABSTRACT:

Earth is cooler with atmosphere/water vapor/30% albedo not warmer.

Ubiquitous RGHE heat balance graphics don't plus violate GAAP and LoT.

Kinetic heat transfer processes of contiguous atmospheric molecules render a surface BB impossible.

RGHE is bogus & CAGW is a scam!

FACTS & EVIDENCE:

FACT 1: Remove the Earth’s atmosphere or even just the GHGs and the Earth becomes much like the Moon, no water vapor or clouds, no ice or snow, no oceans, no vegetation, no 30% albedo becoming a barren rock ball, hot^3 (400 K) on the lit side, cold^3 (100 K) on the dark. At Earth’s distance from the Sun space is hot (394 K) not cold (5 K).

That’s NOT what the RGHE theory says.

EVIDENCE:

RGHE theory says “288 K w – 255 K (-18 C) w/o = a 33 C colder ice ball Earth.” 255 K assumes w/o case keeps 30% albedo, an assumption akin to criminal fraud. Nobody agrees 288 K is GMST plus it was 15 C in 1896. 288 K is a physical surface measurement. 255 K is a S-B equilibrium calculation at ToA. Apples and potatoes.

FACT 2: The GHGs require “extra” energy upwelling from a surface radiating as a BB.

EVIDENCE:

According to TFK_bams09 atmospheric power flux balance, numerous clones and SURFRAD the GHGs must absorb an “extra” 396 BB/333 “back”/63 2nd net W/m^2 LWIR energy upwelling from the surface allegedly radiating as a BB. These graphics contain egregious arithmetic and thermodynamic errors.

FACT 3: Because of the significant non-radiative, i.e. kinetic, heat transfer processes of the contiguous participating atmospheric molecules the surface cannot upwell “extra” energy as a near Black Body.

EVIDENCE:

As demonstrated by experiment, the gold standard of classical science.

CONCLUSION:

No RGHE, no GHG warming, no CAGW or mankind/CO2 driven climate change.

ACRONYMS & DEFINITIONS

RGHE: Radiative GreenHouse Effect

GAAP: Generally Accepted Accounting Principles

LoT: Laws of Thermodynamics

BB: Black Body: A thermodynamic system that absorbs ALL incoming energy and emits ALL that energy by radiation alone. Only possible in a vacuum.

CAGW: Catastrophic Anthropomorphic Global Warming

GHGs: GreenHouse Gases, all of them including water vapor

K: Celsius degree units on the Kelvin scale used for serious science (No such thang as a Kelvin unit)

hot^3: hot cubed, i.e. hot*hot*hot

cold^3: cold cubed, i.e. cold*cold*cold

albedo: Ice, snow, clouds, etc. that reflect incoming solar radiation thereby cooling the Earth

C: Celsius degree units on the Celsius scale

UCLA: Univ of Ca LA

JWST: James Webb Space Telescope

HVAC: Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning

F: degrees Fahrenheit on the F scale. Not useful for formal science.

ISS: International Space Station
