The 30W/m^2 definition of blocking by CO2 is as imaginary as the conditions that define it are imaginary. A non contact IR thermometer measures real and actual energy.

Are you stupid or lying when you assert this is a relevant questions. What is the difference in temp as reported by your $60 meter when aimed at a clear, dry, sky, if you could test two times: 1) with "normal" atmosphere, and 2) with 30W/m^2 more radiation loss to space, i.e. the claimed blocking effect of CO2 removed?

Do you not know that for many variations of temperature for a clear sky that the delta in radiation would be 30W/m^2. Stop lying neolib and admit you are a clueless fool in your comprehension of all science.

But for all variations of temperature for a clear sky that the delta in radiation would be 30W/m^2, removing 387ppm of CO2 from that column would show no change in temperature readings. Because the instrument does not have an accuracy in ppm.
