What is a Watt???

[Climate Realist]

Sorry Derek, along with the P/4 question, this is another red herring.

Watts/m2 or however you want to measure the energy is still flowing whether from a grey body or a black body.

The flaw in the KT diagrams is the idea that "back radiation" (which originated from the hotter ground) can somehow heat that ground further. Back radiation is a consequence of the temperature of the earths surface, it has no power to re-heat the earths surface (or atmosphere) further. TO DO SO would break the laws of thermodynamics. The back radiation is of the same "temperature" (wave number) as the radiation emitted from the earths surface therefore it cannot heat the surface further.

A grey body is an imperfect black body. However, if the "warming from back radiation" theory is correct then even a grey body could be warmed by it's own radiation fed back to it. However, it cannot as the grey body being sufficiently excited on a quantum level to be emitting that radiation cannot absorb that radiation and be heated by it. The radiation is merely back scattered via momentary absorption and re-emission and finds its way to outer space. All IRIGs (Infra Red Interacting Gasses) can do it scatter IR radiation, they have no power to heat anything that is already hot!

I agree with you on this though:-

"The world ain’t flat, and CO2 does not drive, nor even measurably influence, climate.
Wake up people.
There can not possibly be a “greenhouse effect” as presently hypothesized,
IN ANY OF IT’S PRESENTLY TOUTED “FORMS”."

CO2 does not influence climate at all!
