Quality, not Quantity: A Sequence of Strange Events in Climate Science

My reply:

 Screw climate science, we need to go back to real solid physics especially thermodynamics.

The U.N. IPCC's climate science want to solve the Earth's temperature with the Stefan-Boltzmann Law? Sorry, the S-B Law only applies to condensed solids, i.e., liquids and solids. It doesn't apply to gases. Hence you can use it with the Moon but not the Earth, because Earth's huge heavy atmosphere gets in the way, and all the fake physics U.N. IPCC calculations of Earth's so-called radiative energy balance don't mean diddly squat. The IPCC clowns actually try to use it backwards by attempting to derive the temperature of Earth's surface from the total energy radiated on the upper atmosphere from the Sun, as if there's no atmosphere to worry about. Then they do a double swindle by treating Earth as flat and quartering the Sun's power without accounting for how that would lower its temperature to stay a Planck radiator, i.e., you can't just take a Planck radiation curve for 5800K and reduce the vertical axis and keep the power vs. wavelength distribution the same, you have to use a lower temperature curve with one-fourth the power.

Earth's atmosphere isn't a vacuum, it's a Carnot heat engine, converting energy to work to generate wind and storms. This is what keeps the Earth's surface from overheating, and what makes a radiative energy balance into mental doodoo.  An engine uses up energy generate work, and doesn't send the energy back to the source in the same useful form, which would be a great trick with a NASCAR racer with a recirculating hose from the tailpipe to the gas tank that doesn't need refueling stops :)

The atmosphere's gravity and heat capacity keep the surface from freezing. It's pure thermodynamics, starting with good ole PV=nRT, with CO2 radiation being irrelevant. Richard Feynman figured it out and explained it in his famous Feynman Lectures, which only top physics students at Stanford, Cal Tech, MIT etc. can follow, even though most physics students buy a set and display them on their shelves for prestige: IPCC's so-called climate scientists weren't smart enough to major in physics, especially at those institutions, so no wonder they developed their own weird fake science from 19th century physicists they didn't even understand. What a racket clowns like Trenberth had going for them, getting paid to live and work in ski town Boulder, Colo. in a fancy facility developed by I.M. Pei with deer outside your window :)

Why keep lambasting the IPCC's garbage science mountain when we should be trying to refound climate science on a sound basis? We won't get our work accepted by their kept academic journals, but if any of you want to leave a legacy, the ball's in your court. We can probably get far enough to write our own textbook without a single big-buck grant like they enjoy. What a rush!

Start with a clear understanding of why Planck's radiation law, the most general law regarding thermal radiation, proves that CO2 can't melt an ice cube with its radiation, and tell Trenberth to go take a hike.
