Mind you, not quite as good as...

Mind boggling stupidity

That one must have hit you hard.

Don't worry about it Watson, or lose any sleep over it. I won't.

If you find youself awake in the middle of the night though, and it's been a cloudless hot day before, and you have a black tarmac road outside, just feel it's surface, it will be hot and pumping out lots of heat. -g-

That will tell you that Ficks laws rule (well once the 2nd law of themodynamics isn't upset about anything).

============================================================

The law that entropy always increases holds, I think, the supreme position among the laws of Nature. If someone points out to you that your pet theory of the universe is in disagreement with Maxwell's equations — then so much the worse for Maxwell's equations. If it is found to be contradicted by observation — well, these experimentalists do bungle things sometimes. But if your theory is found to be against the second law of thermodynamics I can give you no hope; there is nothing for it but to collapse in deepest humiliation." — Sir Arthur Stanley Eddington, The Nature of the Physical World (1927)

sad sad pearly, exposing why you post hiding behind an anonymous handle. your true colors are shining through.

tsch.de 3.3.15 Conclusion

It is interesting to observe,

* that until today the “atmospheric greenhouse effect” does not appear
o in any fundamental work of thermodynamics,
o in any fundamental work of physical kinetics,
o in any fundamental work of radiation theory;
* that the definitions given in the literature beyond straight physics are very different and, partly, contradict to each other.

pearly invents it's own definition and then rants see it's defined. That is idiotic and a very accurate description of exactly what pearly is posting. That is not a rule of thumb, just generic stupid posting. you are what you post.
