So there you have it. That`s how thermodynamics works according to "climatologists". They invented a system where you get 17% more energy than you feed into it.
And to an individual, they claim that they aren't creating energy.
Most denialists simply lack the common sense to understand the basic physical setup of the situation, as SSDD and PolarBear illustrate here.
You don't "get" 17% more energy. You only "get" energy if it does work. Swapping some photons back and forth isn't doing any work.
Now, if I covered several square miles with some substance that converted the whole spectrum to electricity, that would be doing some work. But it would only be getting +17% more energy briefly, using up some previously stored energy. Then it would gradually fall back to +0%, as the earth and atmosphere below cooled and stopped emitting. That's why it takes time for the earth to heat up in the morning and cool down at night, as that extra energy has to be put in and then bled off.
