The First Law of Thermodynamics:

It's possible for things to heat up, right? That's not disputed. So this boils down to "can CO2 reduce the outflow of energy to below the inflow?". After some thought, I'm not sure it can't. Hear me out.

CO2 absorbs outgoing energy, right? Not incoming, but only outgoing? So it doesn't affect the incoming energy, so it boils down even further to "does CO2 reduce energy outflow?".

So imagine a photon coming from the Earth. It hits a CO2 molecule. It gets absorbed. Now the CO2 radiates the energy again, at (about) the same wavelength. This new photon is travelling... we can't say where. It's in a random direction.

But since about half of the directions that could be chosen point at Earth, there's a coinflip chance as to whether it'll return to Earth. Let's say this photon does. It hits the Earth's surface.

What happens?

The photon could have gone to space today. It almost did. But it didn't. The energy that would have been in space - where is it now? It can't disappear! It has to have gone into Earth - but that means it would heat up! Aaaaaah! We could be wrong and the Earth could be heating up and natural disasters and floods and melting ice caps and we couldn't even tell because we can't measure the temperature! AAAAAAAAA

CO2 absorbs incoming IR. Everything can absorb incoming IR. Oxygen. Nitrogen. You name it. Light absorption is specific to atoms, not to molecules, which are made up of atoms.

If you place a 100 C cup of water in a room at 20 C. If you place a 100 C cup of water in a room at 10 C. In which room will that 100 C cup of water cool faster? Obviously the cooler room. Likewise, the atmosphere reduces cooling of the surface by adding heat to it. That's how the greenhouse effect works. Without the atmosphere, the surface would cool down much faster, and will have less temperature.

False. Patently false. The shortwave radiation from the Sun does not overlap significantly with the absorption spectra of CO2. And absorption spectra are properties of MOLECULES. Not atoms. Molecules.

But the atmosphere is part of the Earth system, not some external surroundings. That would be SPACE.

In your example, you have a teacup which is being looked at, and then this external room. This does not represent the atmosphere adequately.

Also, the "adding heat to the Earth" part - where is that heat coming from? It's people like you that IB and Into get the idea that warmists think that the atmosphere is a magical 1st-LoT-defying substance from.

Greenhouse effect reduces cooling. At night, the surface does not cool off as much and when the sun rises again the ground heats up more than it would have otherwise.

The air can only heat to the ground if it is warmer than the ground. Otherwise it will not do anything to the ground. The ground will heat the air.

You are using a false equivalence. The cup of water in the two rooms is an example of the 2nd LoT. The rate of heating is dependent on the difference in temperature. That does not show anything about which way heat is flowing for the air at night.

Heat always flows 'downhill', towards the cooler substance, whichever that is, at the rate determined by the difference between them.

No. Anything that has heat transfers heat to other objects. The air has less heat than the ground, but it transfers heat to the ground, making the ground cool off slower at night, therefore the ground heats up faster at day, reaching higher temperature than otherwise.

Here's where you are going to allow yourself to be confused if you are gullible enough to listen to warmizombies.

The 2nd LoT is pretty clear. Heat flows from warmer temperatures to cooler temperatures.

Warmizombies will try to confuse you by creating an overly convoluted scenario based around the phrase "net flow."

Anyway, if you are speaking to any actual scientist and you assert that heat is flowing from cooler temperatures to warmer temperatures then s/he will simply stop you right then and there, tell you that you are violating the 2nd LoT and won't bother wasting time discussing the matter with you until you are no longer violating the 2nd LoT. I guarantee that it won't help if you start hurling around a "net flow" this and a "net flow" that.

Scientists pretty much consider the laws of thermodynamics to be inviolate. If you see someone arguing "greenhouse effect" and Global Warming and "climate change" using the phrase "net flow" (or some variation thereof) then you will know that person is not an actual scientist.

Heat flows from hotter to cooler. Yes. On Earth the air has very little temperature different from the ground, in contrast with the case on Mars. This is why on Earth the night is warm because at night the ground radiates very little heat to the air above it.

This is why, if you have an 80 C cup of water. You put it in a 70 C room or you put it in a 10 C room, it radiates faster in the 10 C room than in the 70 C room, so it cools faster in the 10 C room than in the 70 C room.

The air is pretty much the same temperature as the ground, so the ground radiates very little heat to the air at night, so the ground stays warm at night.

Greenhouse gases in the air do not back radiate heat to the ground because they are cooler than the ground. Therefore the greenhouse effect advocated by scientists is wrong.

The ground radiates to the air because the ground is warmer than the air. The air does not radiate to the ground because the air is cooler than the ground. The air is almost the same temperature as the ground, so at night the ground barely radiates to the air and therefore stays fairly warm when the sun rises again.

The greenhouse theory is wrong because it claims cooler CO2 in the air radiates heat to the warmer ground which violates the laws of physics.

No no no no that is all wrong. Except for the insulation that air does.

The cup will radiate the same, whether or not there is air surrounding it. IF there is an atmosphere, it will radiate some heat to the cup - ignoring conduction and convection, the cup will lose or gain temperature until it is at the same temperature as the atmosphere.

Since the atmosphere is cooler than the Earth, it cannot heat the Earth - on its own! But when combined with the Sun... It can.

Nope.

It cools faster in the 10C room because of convection/conduction.

However, a cup of 80C water RADIATES per its temperature, irrespective of the temperature of other things. Hence the 80C water radiates the same in a 70C room as it does in a 10C room. Review Stefan-Boltzmann.

People are forever confusing thermal radiation with thermal convection/conduction. When they do, it becomes an easy matter to anticipate resulting erroneous conclusions.

First, emissivity *is* absorptivity; it is a percentage.

Second, albedo *is* reflectivity; it is a percentage.

emissivity = 1 - albedo. albedo = 1 - emissivity. If you know one, you know the other.
e.g. emissivity of 89% means albedo is 11%
e.g. albedo 23% means an emissivity of 77%
e.g. an ideal black body has emissivity 100% and 0% albedo.
e.g. an ideal white body has albedo 100% and 0% emissivity.

Energy radiated = energy absorbed = incident energy * emissivity

---------------------

So energy radiated is dependent ONLY upon: The body's temperature (as one increases the other increases) which is determined by energy absorbed, the body's constant of emissivity, the Stefan-Boltzmann constant

Well, yes, I know the equation. But how do you apply it to gases? They have their own emission spectra, you know.

Let's walk through this.

Post here in this thread one of your favorite spectrographs for a specific gas.

I can't. I won't have computer access for several hours. Let's pick good old CO2. (Could you upload it?)

I'm going to apologize but a quick image search didn't reveal a convenient CO2 emission spectrograph (but plenty of absorption graphs which are not what I want) but I found an emission spectrograph for Hydrogen, Carbon and Oxygen:



Now let's look at Planck's:



Notice that the function E has two parameters: temperature and wavelength.

Planck's is a generalized model for radiation so pick your substance (let's say Oxygen). The spectrograph above gives you the DOMAIN for the wavelength parameter. The temperature domain is the set of all physical temperature values.

Now all you need to do is find just one E(lambda,T) that does not produce the correct E value for what is measured and you will have shown that the substance does not radiate per Planck's.

Sounds simple enough, yes?

Planck's Law predicts that all wavelengths will be emitted. (Well, besides the ones that don't have enough energy for a single photon.) If I plug a wavelength that O2 (or is that just O?) doesn't radiate, I get a nonzero expected emission energy (or flux, but meh, same difference for our purposes).

I might not have understood your question though.
