Radiative forcing is bogus. Your claim that Falsification Of The Atmospheric CO2 Greenhouse Effects Within The Frame Of Physics is "But the paper is not a critique of catastrophic AGW theory. Instead, it's a critique of how global warming is sometimes explained to lay people." proves to me that you have a severe reading comprehension problem or 1. Slow to learn or understand; obtuse.2. Tending to make poor decisions or careless mistakes. Or lying about having read the document. A simple reading of the Abstract I say proves the point. Above is your interpretation of the Abstract. What part of C D E and F is a critique of how global warming is explained to lay people like Bilow. What parts are not a critique of catastrophic AGW theory DUUHHHH!!!! Abstract The atmospheric greenhouse effect, an idea that authors trace back to the traditional works of Fourier 1824, Tyndall 1861, and Arrhenius 1896, and which is still supported in global climatology, essentially describes a fictitious mechanism, in which a planetary atmosphere acts as a heat pump driven by an environment that is radiatively interacting with but radiatively equilibrated to the atmospheric system. According to the second law of thermodynamics such a planetary machine can never exist. Nevertheless, in almost all texts of global climatology and in a widespread secondary literature it is taken for granted that such mechanism is real and stands on a firm scientific foundation. In this paper the popular conjecture is analyzed and the underlying physical principles are clarified. By showing that (a) there are no common physical laws between the warming phenomenon in glass houses and the fictitious atmospheric greenhouse effects, (b) there are no calculations to determine an average surface temperature of a planet, (c) the frequently mentioned difference of 33 C is a meaningless number calculated wrongly, (d) the formulas of cavity radiation are used inappropriately, (e) the assumption of a radiative balance is unphysical, (f) thermal conductivity and friction must not be set to zero, the atmospheric greenhouse conjecture is falsified.
