Nick Schroeder: Greenhouse theory goes kerbluey

Greenhouse Emissions say, without Greenhouse Gases, Earth becomes -18 C ball of ice.Science says not so.K-T balance graphics show a 396/333/63 GHE energy loop.Science says bad math & badder physics.GHE says Earth upwells "extra" energy as a BB surface. Science says not possible. No Greenhouse Emissions, no Greenhouse Gas heat, no catastrophic anthropogenic global warming.
Fact 1: Remove the Earth's atmosphere or even just the GreenHouse Gases and the Earth becomes much like the Moon, no water vapour 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 our distance from the Sun space is hot (394 K) not cold (5 K).

That's NOT what the Radiative GreenHouse Effect theory says.

EVIDENCE:

RGHE theory "288 K w – 255 K w/o = a 33 C colder ice ball Earth" 255 K assumes w/o keeps 30% albedo, an assumption akin to criminal fraud.

Fact 2: The GHGs require "extra" energy upwelling from a surface radiating as a black body.

EVIDENCE:

According to the K-T atmospheric power flux balance, numerous clones and SURFRAD the GHGs must absorb an "extra" 396/333/63 W/m^2 LWIR energy upwelling from the surface allegedly radiating as a black body. 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 black body.

EVIDENCE:

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

CONCLUSION:

No RGHE, no GHG warming, no catastrophic anthropogenic global warming or mankind/CO2 driven climate change.
