My reply:

The flat Earth/weak Sun con game was created specifically to frame atmospheric CO2 as being needed to keep the Earth from being an ice planet, as if that proves CO2 global warming without needing more proof.  You hardly ever hear a summary of CO2-driven global warming without the -18C/-20C lie, for example, from the British Geological Survey:

[[‘Greenhouse gases’ are crucial to keeping our planet at a suitable temperature for life. Without the natural greenhouse effect, the heat emitted by the Earth would simply pass outwards from the Earth’s surface into space and the Earth would have an average temperature of about -20°C.]] -

It's all irrelevant anyway because you can't just weaken the Sun's power without lowering its temperature, because it's ruled by the T^4 Planck black body law. Even they can't mess with Mother Nature and get away with it.  What a big laugh when they claim that the Sun's power has not been increasing enough to account with their fake global avg. temp. (GAT) numbers.

Here's my deeper analysis of the U.N. IPCC flat Earth hoax.  Like all leftists, they love to accuse opponents of what they are, so guess what they call us "climate deniers"?

The global Marxists have hijacked every scientific and academic org. to grab for the brass ring.  Their weird version of climate science is a beehive of lies that takes a million words to dissect.  It would be funny if it weren't so tragic, but the only real climate scientists left are those banned by the U.N. IPCC.

A doctorate in astrophysics?  Big wow.  Charlatans such as Kneel in the Grass What's His Name have one of those.  Like I've tried to tell you before, no one needs to delve into the intricacies of climate science to disprove the U.N. IPCC's sick Victorian steampunk greenhouse gas warming hoax, just know how to count like a 5th grader.  

Yes, it's an all-out attempt to deny Nature's ironclad Second Law of Thermodynamics (entropy), but it ultimately rests on a blatant denial of the First Law (energy conservation), because it relies  on a sleazy carnival shell game of energy double-counting, claiming that atmospheric CO2 molecules trap and reemit surface IR cooling photons, adding to the solar photons to cause global warming, but that requires them to do it all with those IR photons before they even left!  Shell game, double-counting, circular reasoning, sleazy carnival garbage.  We want all that money back.

 

As to Nikolov-Zeller, yes, the stagnant atmosphere can be considered as a bunch of thin tubes extending from the ground to space, in each of which the Ideal Gas Law rules, where PV=nRT, or T=PV/nr, creating a temperature gradient without need for radiation or convection.  It still doesn't explain the boundary conditions at the ground level, where everybody knows that hot asphalt in Phoenix on July 4 may get way higher (up to 10C higher) than the air temperature at the 5 ft. level where surface temperature measurement stations place their thermometers.

The temperature drop is too large to be caused by gravity, and indeed it's caused by convection, which uses ground heat to power an atmospheric heat engine that generates all winds and storms by turning heat into work.  These can be considered as Le Chatelier responses to solar radiation.  Every wind or breeze uses up some solar energy irreversibly.  Worse, the conversion of short wavelength solar radiation by the surface to heat (increased internal energy density) then to long wave IR increases entropy, dispersing some of the heat energy irreversibly to the heat death of the Universe, making it forever unavailable for heating or doing work, without violating the First Law. That's why every time I hear talk of an Earth-Sun balance to justify the fake greenhouse gas effect and calling on the First Law I have to restrain the urge to ROTFL.
