P/4 - Why it is THE issue that destroys GH and AGW.

Climate Realist:

Quote:Sorry, but what a load of rubbish! That does not "prove" the GHE at all. Cold cannot heat warm, if the moon were at -180C then it would be cooler than it is now and would reflect less radiation back to the earth, therefore a cooler moon would cool the earth. However, a moon at -180C could not warm the earth as it is colder than the earth.

It is nonsense because of my explanation that a -180C moon is emitting radiation that cannot possibly warm a 15C (or -18C etc) temp earth because the matter of the earth is in higher energy state and is ALREADY emitting radiation at this wavelength that corresponds to this temperature and higher. Therefore the radiation from -180C moon cannot excite the atoms and molecules on the earth because they are already at this state of excitation and higher. Therefore the energy states of the bonds and electrons that correspond to -180C are already occupied- the earths matter cannot be excited by this radiation and therefore cannot be warmed by this radiation and the Lunar -180C radiation will merely be scattered back to the moon and to outer space.

I thought the main point of the Second Law of Thermodynamics was that it describes a one way heat transfer from warmer to cooler.

A block of ice that is over -200 C colder than Earth could not possibly warm it.Since it is lacking the parameters for a heat (almost nonexistent to start with) transfer back to Earth.
