Having a bunch of matter in-between something (in this case us, living at the ground level) and a pulsating source of radiant heat (the Sun as the Earth rotates) is going to result in that matter acting as a buffer to some degree. The gas atmosphere reflects, absorbs and transports(wind & convection) the radiance and thermal energy that is both hitting Earth and leaving it. This causes was scientists call: MELLOWFICATION It does not explain or dismiss the question of a planet having a higher or lower mean temperature at the ground level.

I don't really think there is really any one thing responsible regulating our planet's temperature, but water probably has the larges role in it. Thermal energy changes water between it's three states. Water vapor can be anywhere from 0.0-0.4 % of the atmosphere. Florida's humidity is in the 90s most of the time. Winter, it drops 20-30%. The surface gets warm enough, and some breeze, quite a bit of water vaporizes, gets carried off, along with thermal energy. It'll stay a vapor, until it loses the thermal energy, and condenses back to a liquid, and falls back to the surface, as fresh water. Sometimes ice, though mostly over Norway. Don't really think it heats or cools the planet, just distributes the thermal energy.

keepit ★★★★★ (3058)	I'm not going to jump to any conclusions because i don't know the actual numbers here but i know that methane is a much stronger GHG than co2 and i know that (i think i know) water vapor is also a much strong GHG than co2. Mars has very little methane in the atmosphere and very little water vapor compared to earth. It seems to me that the lack of water vapor and methane on mars are the reasons mars is so much cooler than earth despite earth having less co2 (co2 being a weak GHG compared to methane and water vapor).

Duncan, IBD's claim here is based on his person beliefs about the laws of thermodynamics which I have demolished on this forum. He refuses to debate them. But they are not based on anything else. As he doesn't believe it's possible to determine any planetary mean temp he cannot base his assertion on any other than his own priciples. In short he very mistakenly believes that a planet's mean ground level temp cannot exceed a temperature based on the radiance it receives from the Sun. That two planets with the same solar radiance, that are equally reflective (same emissivity), cannot have different temperatures at ground level due to having different atmospheres. Venus thoroughly disproves this beyond any pretense that we can't know the temp exactly (it exceed it by 500 degrees).

What do other planets really have to do with Earth? The all are different, only Earth is known to have ever supported life. We would never be able to survive long on any other, without bringing our own environment with us, and protective gear. CO2 is a trace gas, just not enough to even come close to the molecular-magic observed in a lab jar. Should it tip you off, that you believe CO2 to be the weakest GHG known to man, but to save the planet, all we have to do is quit producing it? If your main house is on fire, and your neighbor's $6000 outhouse is on fire which structure would you want the fire department to try and save first. Why focus on CO2, when it's the weakest, smallest threat, compared to other GHGs? It a scam, just like wearing masks, and hiding in the basement is scam.

duncan61 ★★★★★ (2021)	Earth, being a planet, has substantial gravity which holds onto a substantial atmosphere (i.e. keeps it from drifting away into space). The earth's gravity pulls the atmosphere downward, compressing it against the earth's surface. This acts like a grill press at night, ice bucket during the day. The net effect is to compress both daytime and nighttime temperatures towards the plante's average temperature. The moon has no atmosphere to do that so the moon's daytime temperature exceeds 120C and the nighttime temperature drops below -180C. This represents a 300C temperature swing from daytime to nighttime.

tmiddles★★★★★ (3979)	duncan61 wrote:...The earth's gravity pulls the atmosphere downward, compressing it against the earth's surface.... This description which sounds as though there is a before/after is just not correct. "WORK" is done when an object is moved over a distance. There is no movement here. The atmosphere is compressed already. Is work being done underground where gravity pulls on rocks and dirt? No. Gravity is not "compressing" the atmosphere. It is under a constant pressure. It would be like claiming that walls are lifting up a building. The bottom line is that gravity is not adding any energy. duncan61 wrote:...This acts like a grill press at night, ice bucket during the day.... The same thing could be said for a layer of sand covering something. It would be cooler midday and warmer at midnight. Edited on 05-09-2020 01:22

The earth's average global temperature is not modified by the atmosphere therefore it cannot be "regulated." I'm just saying that you are using the wrong word. If you were to specify that while the atmosphere does not change/modify/regulate/control/moderate/engineer/govern the temperature but instead "affects" certain temperatures because it is part of the earth (it is part of the mass of the planet) typically in the form of increased nighttime temperatures, decreased daytime temperatures and temperature shifts in the form of weather, that would be accurate/correct.

The perfect case would be if Earth had a twin, exact in every way, but with CO2 levels that were 10 times what we have. Then we'd have this whole issue settled right? Well we don't have that but we do have two planets we are able to visit and measure directly, Venus and Mars, with quantifiable differences in distance to the sun, composition of their atmospheres and albedo/emmissity. That is useful! You really just sound as though you'd like to avoid having this issue researched Harvey. We only have a basic understanding of our own planet. It's like you learning how to ride a bicycle (think it's time to try, without training wheels, yet), and think you should be able to hope in the cab of a Semi tractor and haul some freight. The both have wheels, right? You tend to accept a lot of speculation on faith. Which, I guess it makes it easier for you to accept everything on faith. I just keep a more object view, and separate what is common belief, and what is repeatably observable. Your 'science seems to work in reverse of mine. You start out with your desired conclusion, then search for ways to justify your conclusions. Basically, there are other planets in the solar system, orbiting the same sun, but that's where the similarities end. You just pick and chose which characteristics, best fit you agenda, and ignore the rest of the planet, the solar system. There is a whole lot of other things, going on, influencing the very things you selected, to support your pre-conclusion.

You are: You've indicated on this board that you don't "believe" in the determinations made by virologists. link HarveyH55 wrote:...Covid-19 vaccine will be as useless as masks and social distancing. ... And you're here dismissing the ability to study planetary thermodynamics. Nothing can be known I take it? So I'm asking you: Along with the rest of Team Denial here on the board you've never indicated your belief that your fellow humans can figure anything out. So what's an example of a "success story" where modern science and technology have solved a problem? And how is it any different than virology or Planetary science? IBdaMann wrote: What's an example of Global Warming working for you? The warming since the last mini ice age ~12,000 years ago would take first place of course (it's the most recent and dramatic).
