A ‘wrongful conviction’ in the climate change case?

My reply:

HR: Your article is such a crackpot theory that you make the IPCC octopus look good.

[[The premise that the atmospheric gases do not absorb radiated energy from the sun and are heated by the Earth’s surface violates the law that ALL objects absorb radiated energy and all objects above absolute zero radiated [sic] energy. This includes the nitrogen and oxygen in the atmosphere. They do not absorb visible light but they do absorb energy from shorter wavelengths.]]

This is a strawman argument. Not all objects absorb radiated energy if the quantum levels don't permit it, and once they do, they usually just heat up a little and slowly cool via Planck radiation at a far lower wavelength, which is based on the object's final temperature after absorbing the collected photon energy into its kinetic energy.

The upper atmosphere absorbs almost all solar UV, blocking it from reaching the surface, meaning it can't be absorbed any more further down. The temperature of this thin high altitude region is irrelevant to Earth's surface temperatures. Why do you confuse the two? The Sun's wavelengths in the heating range are all visible wavelengths, which the atmosphere is transparent to, contradicting your Simple Simon statement. When they are thoroughly absorbed by the surface, it heats up then starts to cool via Planck radiation at far longer IR wavelengths, but the numerous other cooling processes keep it in the range of -50C to +50C even though the Sun's temperature is 5800K.  A mirror farm concentrating all solar energy in a single point might reach near 5800K, but the same field with no mirrors stays within -50C to +50C.

The IPCC fake physics theory is that CO2 absorbs surface IR everywhere and heats the atmosphere and surface at the same time, when CO2's absorption/emission wavelength of 15 microns has a Planck temperature of -80C which isn't even heat. Too bad for them, photons aren't all the same but have a temperature, because their energy is dependent on wavelength and 15 micron photons can't impart enough kinetic energy to raise the temperature higher than -80C.

Cold is not hot, and cold can't heat diddly. Like all leftist power grabs, the leftist-run IPCC will even turn cold hot and hot cold to get their hands on the gold, er, cold cash. Clouding the issue with strained manipulated historical temperature correlation moose hockey and bureaucracy is like trying to find a pony in a stream of liquid manure and announcing after an expenditure of billions that they found a few hairs. That leftist-run Wikipedia blocks user edits and claims the issue is closed shows the sad result of politicizing science. They too shall pass because the truth will win in the end. Either way, HR is a crackpot and it's sad that P-S publishes his articles instead of letting him do it on his own crackpot blog.
