All those dots connected just fine.

Now you have proved to the world you are in the possession of at least one physics book, look to see if they have a section on the Theory of Exchanges. The name Prevost should be mentioned.

Here are three dots to be connected.

Dot (i) The sun. A very hot place.
Dot (ii) The Earth. A less hot place.
Dot (iii) Deep space. A "hardly any hotness at all" place.

Energy goes from the sun, a very small amount of it lands on planet Earth, and then it all goes to deep space.

2nd law of thermodynamics observed at all times.

Note: I did not say the word "cold". The are hot places, not so hot places, and places with very little heat. That is the theory of exchanges. All those bodies above zero degrees radiate electromagnetic energy.

May the dots connect for you!

All the radiative forcing is speculation that is an attempt to build some magic property of CO2. All measured experience has found no magic property of CO2. In addition it seems that the foundation in physics for magic properties of CO2 is built upon the incorrect application of the 2nd law of thermodynamics.

You describe a simple and clear proof of the planet Earth's thermodynamic properties as "hand waving". Yet the above is an example of the most pathetic "hand waving" statements ever used.

-lol- Sorry Watson, you cannot suspend the laws of physics just because they do not suit your politics. If you wish to critique mainstream science, please look at some of the work performed to date and tell us where the problems are.

Have a look what main stream scientific thought has to say.
