I am not looking at only 1/3 of the picture.
I am looking and focusing on the entire picture.
and looking through unbiased eyes I might add.
if anyone is neglecting any element in the picture it
would have to be you.
your trying to say that by reducing the amount of IR heat
from the sun that heats the surface the earths heat will
be increased.
But it [CO2] would also decrease that little "40" number (CO2's "atmospheric window" -right-hand side of graphic)
by double (2/3 v. 1/3, remember?) ...whatever your incoming was decreased by.
And that amount would be added onto the 333 number, or whatever the new "back radiation" number would be after being lowered slightly by your blockage of incoming IR.
by double !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so the 40 becomes whatever the global warming alarmist need
it to be at that time , or does that number need to fit in and
balance out with the rest of the numbers?
from what I can see through unbiased eyes the 161 number
is the number that represents the incoming solar radiation
that is absorbed by the surface.
this 161 number becomes a part of the 396 number.
the 396 number is made up of the 161 number and obviously
the "earths heat itself" as there is no shown numbers that
could add up to 396 (surface radiation) in the image.
396 - 161 = 235
so 235 is the earths own heat that it already has and has
nothing to do with past incoming radiation from the sun or
any back radiation from the past.
so as we are looking at this image that depicts the
global energy flow , the surface radiation that is due
to the earth itself is not shown.
I can only guess that the 396 number includes the earths
own heat prior to this moment in time that the image
is describing.
therefore only the 161 number ( absorbed by surface ) will
be affected by the amount of blocked IR heat from the sun.
therefore the 40 will not decrease by double , it will not
even decrease by half.
I know that the alarmist want to but they cannot dictate
to the earth how much heat it can radiate from the surface.
if I add the 396 + 80 + 17 I get 493
it just so happens that if I subtract the 333 from 493
guess what !!! I get 160 !!! the ( absorbed by surface)
number minus the 0.9 number at the bottom.
so if the (absorbed by surface) number decreases then
the ( surface radiation ) number must also decrease.
the ( back radiation ) number is due to and locked into
the ( surface radiation ) number and cannot avoid decreasing
when the ( absorbed by surface ) number decreases.
and , plus and also , you cant pull yourself up by your
bootstraps.
if this image were a true representation of the global
energy flow then the earth could supply its own energy
simply by capturing all the hot air in the image.
