Atmospheric Energy Recycling

My reply:

[[A particular layer of the atmosphere is assumed to be at a temperature, T₁. This temperature is the temperature that equalizes the flows of energy entering and leaving that layer. According to the diagram, the layer will emit long-wave radiant energy equally in all directions, with a flux fσT₁⁴ being sent upward and an equal flux being sent downward.]]

This paragraph along with the whole nonsense diatribe is pure dodo climate science.

You can immediately throw it in the trash when you see imaginary atmospheric layers with T^4 arrows coming out of them up and down. This is total ignorance, because gases don't emit black body radiation, only photon by photon radiation at specific wavelengths based on absorption and reemission. A black body must be solid or liquid, and its number one power is the ability to absorb and emit radiation at all wavelengths. In the Earth-Sun climate system, only the Sun and the Earth are black bodies. The atmosphere doesn't qualify. Their total power output over all wavelengths comes nowhere close to anything times T^4, and indeed doesn't depend on T, only the incident photons.

End of this dodo line of reasoning.

I already blocked Wentworth on Quora after finding him pushing every IPCC hoax and then denying any connection with them while coming back over and over palming himself off as an expert. It didn't take long to find out that his understanding of radiative physics is nil, especially when he failed to even mention key laws until I taught him.

Who am I? Go ahead and check me out. Do you believe that Wentworth has any credibility? Would you like to learn real climate science that destroys every IPCC lie? The only place to go is my free Climate Science 101 course that I spent years perfecting to cover every key physical law methodically and answer all objections. Until you master it you'll always be a climate science dodo, open to IPCC-twisted brain manure dumps like this one.
