Do you understand what the term "relative error" means?
Do you understand what 'precision' of a measured constant means?
The S-B equation is not probability math.
Do you understand that relative error is a measure of the uncertainty of measurement compared to the size of the measurement.
Do you understand that uncertainty means that the constant is NOT certain? This is not math, it is physics. |

Apparently you don't.
The constant is certain, but only to a certain level of precision. That is not probability. That is instrument tolerance. That is why we use a fixed value in the equation. It does not change. It is always the same value. It is a constant. It's purpose is to convert the equation to our units of measurement. Of course, you never did understand probability math either. That's why you don't understand statistical math.
The S-B equation is not a probability equation. It is not a statistical one either. It is accurate. It applies to all bodies.

I really love this - you don't know what a calorimeter is, you say you can measure energy going into the Earth but not leaving. And now you tell us that a constant with only a certain level of precision is accurate.

The amount of energy leaving the Earth is the same as the energy entering it, assuming the energy from the Sun remains constant (which it generally does).
You can measure the energy from the Sun using a calorimeter. I have already told you what they do multiple times. You just deny it like everything else. It is obvious you never built one like all students of physics and chemistry eventually do.
The constant is fixed. The S-B equation is accurate. The constant we used is the accepted constant. The result is off by exactly the same amount as the precision of the constant. It is always the same result. It is not a probability.
You never did understand probability math. That's why you don't understand statistical math.
Apparently you don't understand what a 'constant' is either.

If it is not then the earth is warming or cooling.
If you have a pint of water in a kettle and heat it via the electric heating element then the amount of heat leaving the kettle is less tha that entering it. This situation continues untill it starts to boil whne the amount of heat energy leaving in the form of steam will be equal to the input as the temperature will remain constant.
If the power is switched off then the amount of heat energy leaving will be higher than that going into the kettle. |

Better watch out or he'll prove you wrong with the Stefan-Boltzmann law. And then he'll accuse you of being a member of the Church of Global Warming.
He doesn't have a grasp of the difference between thermal energy and temperature. His description of a calorimeter was bass ackwards because of that. And a calorimeter is not the tool for such a job. He doesn't grasp the fact that the Earth's temperature by the time it reaches the tropopause is very well mixed and so the temperature is easily monitored via the Stefan-Boltzmann law he uses so often as a club. He doesn't identify heat with wavelength or "color" if you like. He likes to think that there are large temperature differences in the upper atmosphere at the same altitude. He also doesn't know that there are almost perfectly charted temperatures at the middle stratosphere and above.
Your picture of a tea kettle is good. It shows the delay of heating due to water's absorption of energy. Your cup of tea then doesn't radiate heat but rather conducts it into the surrounding atmosphere.
There is also lost energy in the Earth as something like 0.07% of it disappears into plant growth. This despite the fact that the Earth is still cooling and as it cools it shrinks. Of course these things occur at geological time periods but nevertheless are occurring. |

This is all quite correct. The temperature of the Earth will change depending on how the output from the Sun changes.

You just failed to recognize one when it was put right in front of your face.

No, it is not. Jet aircraft (which do most of the monitoring) are nowhere numerous enough to measure the entire tropopause.

The Stefan-Boltzmann law cannot be used to measure temperature. You don't know the emissivity of Earth.
Wake wrote:

The Stefan-Boltzmann law is color-blind. Frequency is not part of the equation. It has specifically been removed from Planck's laws as the equation is derived from it. It only describes total energy radiated on all wavelengths combined. Emissivity is similarly color-blind for the same reason. Wien's law does look at color, but it is only really useful for comparison of glowing objects, not reflective bodies such as Earth.

There are. The major factor of variance is latitude and season. There is also a daily variation.

No, there are not.

Energy never 'disappears'. You cannot create or destroy energy. The energy going into plant growth is still energy in the form of potential energy, which has no temperature.
