Looks like my previous comment got cancelled.

Here, have another copy.

ABSTRACT:

Earth is cooler w atmosphere/WV/30% albedo not warmer.

Ubiquitous RGHE heat balance graphics don't + violate LoT.

Kinetic heat transfer processes of contiguous atmospheric molecules render surface BB impossible.

RGHE is bogus & CAGW is a scam!

FACTS & EVIDENCE:

FACT 1: Remove the Earth’s atmosphere or even just the GHGs and the Earth becomes much like the Moon, no water vapor or clouds, no ice or snow, no oceans, no vegetation, no 30% albedo becoming a barren rock ball, hot^3 (400 K) on the lit side, cold^3 (100 K) on the dark. At our distance from the Sun space is hot (394 K) not cold (5 K).

That’s NOT what the RGHE theory says.

EVIDENCE:

RGHE theory “288 K w – 255 K w/o = a 33 C colder ice ball Earth” 255 K assumes w/o keeps 30% albedo, an assumption akin to criminal fraud. 288 K is a surface measurement. 255 K is an equilibrium calculation at ToA.

Apples and potatoes.

FACT 2: The GHGs require “extra” energy upwelling from a surface radiating as a Black Body.

EVIDENCE:

According to the K-T atmospheric power flux balance, numerous clones and SURFRAD the GHGs must absorb an “extra” 396/333/63 W/m^2 LWIR energy upwelling from the surface allegedly radiating as a Black Body. These graphics contain egregious arithmetic and thermodynamic errors.

FACT 3: Because of the significant non-radiative, i.e. kinetic, heat transfer processes of the contiguous participating atmospheric molecules the surface cannot upwell “extra” energy as a near Black Body.

EVIDENCE:

As demonstrated by experiment, the gold standard of classical science.

CONCLUSION:

No RGHE, no GHG warming, no CAGW or mankind/CO2 driven climate change.

Alas Nick, unreadable for simple souls. But my guess is you’re right.

Stand before a blazing campfire on a chilly evening.

Lift up a blanket between.

Cooler or warmer?

Drop the blanket.

Cooler or warmer?

That’s what Earth’s atmosphere & albedo produce, cooler not warmer.

That is not a GHE.

GHE says w/o it Earth becomes -18 C ball of ice.

Clearly wrong.

No GHE, no GHG warming, no CAGW & $E12 global scam instantly unemployed.

But its precursor, methane, does. Its oxidation sequence is both exothermic, as well as toxic, producing huge amounts of heat, heat trapping water vapor, and formaldehyde, the cause of extinctions including plants as well as animals.
