dear liarboy neolib, you are the master of oversimplification into stupidity and the meaningless. Technically the statement The Earth does not lose heat to space by convection. is false. As the earth travels trough the vacuum of space, matter escapes carrying heat energy. Some of the matter lost got to the place where is could escape by convection. But CO2 does very likely at least slow the rate of heat lost of the Earth by more than that lost by matter escaping. The Earth losses most of it's heat by conduction to the air and that air convects that heat to higher altitudes where it radiates. And as it radiates at higher and higher altitudes, there is more atmosphere blocking it's return to Earth than it's escape to space. Insulation is not a heat source as I and Prof. Dr. GERHARD GERLICH (l) und Dr. RALF D. TSCHEUSCHNER have proclaimed, Insulation and dry air is an great insulator does make for a drastic reduction in heat flow from a warmer place to a colder place. And liarbor neolib admits Insulation is not a heat source and does not have a clue on how to apply what it means in the real world. LOL....
