This is one thing that distinguishes this site from the vast bulk of others. We point out this error regularly. Well done.

You will see the bottle filled with CO2 heat up faster than the bottle with air. and fools then claim that this proves the greenhouse gas effect.

On this site, we often refer to that little deception as "the standard parlor trick." It is not an experiment. It is a demonstration, and it simply demonstrates that CO2 has a higher absorptivity and radiativity (Kirchhoff's Law) of infrared wavelengths than oxygen or nitrogen.

Otherwise, you'll notice that the standard parlor trick is always performed in a darkened basement where no sunlight can get in and mess up the results. You'll wonder why they claim that the demonstration shows "greenhouse effect" when they never perform the demonstration outdoors in direct sunlight and normal atmospheric conditions.

Our Atmosphere does trap heat.

It is not possible to trap heat.

Our thermosphere is dilute (gases and charged particles) and is hundreds of km thick. In here infrared energy from our sun is absorbed and scattered

Absorption of a photon DESTROYS that photon. It no longer exists. You can't scatter what no longer exists.

In order for a photon's energy/momentum to absorbed by a gas molecule the photon has to hit the molecule/atom.

So there is a scattering cross section based upon the size of the gas molecule and the size of the photon,

Nope. No scattering. The photon is DESTROYED. You cannot scatter what does not exist.

We know that larger gas molecules do absorb more photons as demonstrated by those greenhouse gas experiments where triatomic CO2 molecules heat up faster than air [predominately (90%) diatomic N2 and O2]. Hence confirms scattering cross section of gas molecules play a role

Nope. Photons don't care the size of the molecule or atom to be absorbed. No atom or molecule will absorb a photon that has less energy than the molecule or atom already has.
kent5915 wrote:
What about scattering cross-sections of photons. The size of photons is still up for debate but one can assume that the longer the photon's wavelength, the bigger its scattering cross section

Wavelength is not absorption or scattering.

Quite the opposite. No atom or molecule will absorb a photon that has less energy than the atom or molecule already has.

What about visible light. it is said that 70% of our Sun's visible light makes it through our atmosphere to Earth's surface. Of this a percentage is reflected as color while the rest is absorbed becoming heat.

Light is not heat.
Visible light does not convert to thermal energy when it is absorbed.

Infrared light emitted by the surface cools that surface. Yes... a warmer object can heat a colder one by radiance (not radiation).

Silly


IBdaMann claims that Gold is a molecule, and that the last ice age never happened because I was not there to see it. The only conclusion that can be drawn from this is that IBdaMann is clearly not using enough LSD.

According to CDC/Government info, people who were vaccinated are now DYING at a higher rate than non-vaccinated people, which exposes the covid vaccines as the poison that they are, this is now fully confirmed by the terrorist CDC

This place is quieter than the FBI commenting on the chink bank account information on Hunter Xiden's laptop

Your misunderstanding of heat and thermal energy will give you no end of grief. You open yourself up to three egregious problems that you cannot resolve:

1. Your claim that the atmosphere somehow 'traps' heat implies that it strictly increases temperature. This requires you to deny the daytime side of the moon which has no atmosphere yet is much hotter than the daytime side of the earth which has an atmosphere that is supposedly "trapping heat".

2. Your model incorrectly treats the atmosphere as something separate from the earth that is heating the earth, not as part of the earth that simply transfers thermal energy better than the solid lithosphere and simply brings daytime and nighttime temperatures closer together while keeping the average temperature the same. Your model erroneously treats the atmosphere as a second heat source and would serve as nothing more than a source of math errors.

3. You have not shown that there is any difference between the average temperatures of the earth and moon. You can't very well embellish upon differences that you have not established.... and you cannot establish them.
