That IR is from the sun, derpHow does that make the surface warmer? Still waiting!It would be the same temperature as the surface. There’s no warmer . I told you before, you believe IR warms the surface it does not.What he is saying now is that the absorbed IR in CO2 that’s handed off via collisions means IR warms the atmosphere.
What do you think the absorbed IR means to the atmosphere?
If more IR is absorbed does that make the atmosphere warmer, cooler, or the same?
Whether it takes 1 step, 2 steps, 3 steps.....37 steps?
It would be the same temperature as the surface.
The atmosphere would warm up to the same temperature as the surface. Excellent!
I told you before, you believe IR warms the surface it does not.
IR warms whatever matter absorbs it.
IR does not warm what absorbs it, you could post that evidence!
How does that make the surface warmer?
IR that is absorbed by the surface, warms the surface.
IR does not warm what absorbs it
Why not?
Does it cool matter that absorbs it?
Prove it does!
