I think the point was that a real greenhouse loses heat by convection as well as radiation, the earth does not, except perhaps for the very small loss and gain of the atmosphere.
Yes, as I've pointed out repeatedly, the junkscience idiot confused the cooling mechanism in a greenhouse with the heating mechanism. It is warmed by radiation, cooled by ventilation. Yet he states that a greenhouse is warmed by modulating convection. He was bashing the analogy of a greenhouse wrt to global warming, but then confuses himself because greenhouses are cooled, and hence temperature regulated, by using very effective and cheap ventilation. What an idiot. The whole GW debate is about WARMING mechanisms, not cooling or regulation.
Well, I'm glad that despite your confusion over what Thermodynamics is, you can at least understand the mechanisms functioning in the greenhouse. You're fellow denier, Watson, can't even get to that point. Perhaps you could assist him to enlightenment? |
