The Surface Energy Budget

My reply:

 [[The energy budget for the surface is different from Earth’s energy budget. A look at the surface energy budget reveals that radiation is not the main factor in cooling the surface. The dominant factor in surface cooling is convection, responsible for the removal of more than three quarters of the surface’s energy. ]]

Funny, but that's what the first critics of G.S. Callendar's CO2 radiation-driven Earth surface heating theory observed back in 1938:

"The temperature distribution of the atmosphere was determined almost entirely by the
movement of the air up and down.  This forced the atmosphere into a temperature distribution which was quite out of balance with the radiation." -  https://tambonthongchai.com/2018/06/29/peer-review-comments-on-callendar-1938/

Too bad, the leftist-run U.N. IPCC has no interest in real science, only in framing CO2 emissions as evil so they can get governments to force the shutdown of the fossil fuel industry that is the engine driving capitalism to pave the way for mass poverty, starvation, anarchy, and finally global Marxism.

To fool the public, plus a number of kept useful idiot scientists, they push the narrative that the Sun alone can't keep the Earth from freezing, and that only atmospheric CO2 saves us, but at the same time it's at a dangerous tipping point threatening climate Armageddon if the CO2 emissions aren't completely shut off now. This is pure moose hockey, because atmospheric CO2 can't melt an ice cube with its 15 micron absorption/wavelength that is the same as -80C dry ice and can't even interfere with Earth's surface temperature range of -50C to +50C.

Yes, some of the heat deposited on Earth's surface by solar radiation radiates harmlessly to space, but most of it conducts to the air in contact with it then slowly convects toward space, wasting most of its energy to convert heat to work as it expands against the decreasing pressure, generating winds and weather. The Earth's atmosphere isn't a greenhouse but a gigantic chimney that's also a Carnot heat engine that uses solar heat as fuel to drive our weather system. And I'm not even mentioning clouds which use the almost magical powers of water to keep Earth surface temperatures livable, but are more likely to force runaway cooling AKA ice ages than runaway heating.

Nobody interested in the Earth climate field can afford to ignore the fatal-80C problem with the IPCC's fake physics CO2 warming hoax. Here's my essay explaining all the details, furnishing an education in radiative physics. I wish the general public would catch on and laugh the IPCC octopus into oblivion, but unfortunately they control the media and use their great power to spread lies while suppressing the simple fatal truth that should be the end to their whole circus. I wish that one of the duped billionaires like Bill Gates would happen on this message and write a check for a billion or two to pay for the big lie about CO2 to be preached throughout the world.
