I'm happy when they can spell physics. So far today we've had this: 1) Poster #1 does not know how greenhouses are heated, and repeatedly posts a link which illustrates this lack of knowledge. 2) Poster #2 does not know the earth is a net energy radiator. He also does not know what Thermodynamics is. 3) Poster #3 implies that 30+W/m2 is "little or no different" Contrast this with the fact that the complex thermodynamic field of climate science is currently dealing with what, about 2W/m2 due to greenhouse effects + all the complications of a planets oceans, atmosphere, etc, and why exactly does one expect 1, 2, or 3 to have any understanding of things? IIRC, the last few million years of ice age cycles is down under 4W/m2, or close to that. So, nuance is needed, which these guys just don't seem to have within their grasp.
