.....Radiant energy from the sun is absorbed by the earth. The
atmosphere is also to a degree warmed by absorbed light. However, the
transference of heat through the air (while slowed because the thermal
frequencies do not pass through without being absorbed and reemmited),
is relatively quick. One mole of air occupies much greater area than a
mole of water. So at a relevant common temperature,, there is much
greater energy in volume area in the water than the air. The fact that
the air is mostly trasparent to the high energy visible light while the
ocean is not, means that the temperature of the air is determined by
the temperature of the ocean. The heat is transfering from the ocean to
the air, and through the air mainly be convection. This is called
weather. The energy of the wind air currents are due to the differences
in weight of warm or cold air. The force of gravity induces movement of
the different weights of air masses.....

The atmosphere is always attempting to reach equalization between the
warm air masses of the equator and the cold air masses of the poles.
The energy of the convection can be formulated by obtaining the
differences in weight and the effect of gravity. For the air masses to
retain their heat, it is clear that the thermal frequencies are not
passing through directly but are trapped. If most of the energy passed
through except what is trapped by GHG's., there would not be enough
trapped energy to cause the change of density. due to the expansion
caused by heating, to formulate the weather.

This is false dynamics. In deserts temperature's are higher without the
water vapor. In any climate in the summer, high humidity keeps the
temperature down. On days with low humidity or dew point, the
temperaure climbs higher in the afternoon. Wher is the greenhouse
effect of water vapor? A made up dynamic. No science at all to back up
your dynamics there buddy. Maybe it sounds all good to you. But the
fact is, heat is a quantity.. If you cannot quantify your energy, you
are not doing physics. Show me the calories from the CO2, to the air,
to the ocean and land mass, or else it is correct to say because proper
physics proves this to be true that;
"IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR CO2 TO CAUSE GLOBAL WARMING"

Most of it is absorbed by the ghgs (350W/m^2) which is what causes the
heating near the surface and hence convection. Some does pass directly
through the atmosphere by virtue of the IR window region (~40 W/m^2 out
of 492 W/m^2 from the surface).

Perhaps you are unaware that it gets very cold at night in those
deserts, in fact you can freeze water in a bowl overnight by raditional
cooling (due to the absence of the gh effect of H2O)! A diurnal range
of 30ÂșC is quite normal.

"Block" is a common term in science, but it does not mean "reflected."

After a new, higher equil. temp. is reached.
