>is completely incorrect.
You claim it is so, and yet, simply saying so does not make it so.
I note that you still dodge questions regarding how actual greenhouses work. Curious.
> You don't appear to know what radiative heat transfer is or how it works.
No, I think that is you.
>I've already addressed your heatsink analogy by trying to explain the difference between radiative heat transfer and conductive heat transfer.
No you haven't.
The earth is hotter than the air and it heats it up.
>Sun heats up earth
>earth conducts heat energy to the atmosphere
>this heat energy is then released and radiates back to the earth thus heating it up
You're kind of correct but with the exception that it is not possible for it to radiate its heat back out to the earth until the earth stops conducting heat to it, ie, at night or the sun stops transmitting as much energy to the earth.
Your claim literally requires that CO2 amplifies energy. It takes in the infrared, then re-emits it, somehow through some miracle process only known to you this increases the air and/ or surface temperature.
Hello, fundamental physics, conservation of energy.
> CO2 changes the emissivity of the earth, which increases the earth's temperature
Lolllllll now I know for a fact that it is you who does not understand physics
"Hi, you don't understand physics, but by the way, when CO2 is near a radiating body, it increases its emissivity"
Do you even know what the word "emissivity" means?
You are claiming that somehow CO2 increase the amount of energy the earths surface absorbs from the sun.
Yes, a way that industry improves the efficiency of infrared heating elements is by surrounding them with pure CO2, well known fact. This is sarcasm, by the way.
>and T which is the average temperature of the earth.
And here, my friend, is where you and everyone else makes the same mistake. You don't understand averages.
Increasing an average does not imply an increase maximums.
All you have explained is how the greenhouse effect increases the daily average which, if you use your reading comprehension skills, you will note I have more than acknowledged. We would have a bad time without the greenhouse effect, come nightfall.
But what you haven't explained is how the greenhouse effect can increase surface temperatures at noon.Keep trying, I'll wait.
