There is a very good reason I'm asking you to try and explain it yourself. 1) I chased my tail with you regarding your inability to get basic scientific units correct. To you, there is no problem having an extra 1/s or m2 tossed in, it is all the same too you! Remember you thought the units of distance were m/s! 2) You've posted numerous times that greenhouses are heated by modulating convection. 3) You have no idea what PPM means. 4) You have no idea what the 2'nd Law of Thermodynamics means (a fact you share with Creationists BTW, that is one of their favorites!)

So...given that you exhibit such fundamental ignorance, why do you think anyone is going to read some dingbat link you provide, where said fool uses a few equations that you will totally not understand?

Try explaining the radiative basis for a functioning greenhouse in your own words, and we can go from there. If you make it past each step I'll happily look at your link in the end. I've talked with all sorts of idiots who think perpetual motion machines, etc, work just fine because it is all past their ability to understand. You need to try the very simple baby steps that you can understand. Please explain how a greenhouse is heated, and the role of its walls, insulation, glass, and incoming and outgoing radiation. So far, you are stuck at that stage.
