Greenhouses have been used for 2,000 years, because they work.
Stoves, ovens, space heaters, etc. turn energy into heat. Heat is thermo energy, and uses energy units.
In the real world, insulation exists. Humans have known about it for maybe a hundred thousand years.
Into the Night does not deny insulation exists. @Walt is desperate to assign bogus positions to Into the Night so that @Walt will at least have something to attack, albeit not honestly. @Walt is the one who is broadcasting scientific illiteracy, including a strange belief that thermal conduction somehow occurs in the vacuum of space.
Actually, both you and him deny it:
Somehow IBDa and Night believe they have outsmarted all the experts, and even the vast majority of normal people.
I was clear that greenhouse effect is a religious doctrine that has nothing to do with greenhouses. I further specified that greenhouse effect has never been known because it is not true. Your pivot to dishonestly imply that I was referring to greenhouses was deliberate.
They create heat, but nothing can convert energy to heat. You do not know what heat is.
Incorrect. I'll give you a hint: Energy is mesaured in joules, Heat is measured in Watts. Go figure it out.
Yes. In the real world, peanut butter exists.
The Moon is the same distance from the Sun as the Earth, and yet without an atmosphere is much hotter. Now let's talk about the average lunar equilibrium temperature.
Therefore gasses in an atmosphere provide a powerful refrigeration effect, making it much cooler. Perhaps you have noticed that the ocean is always cool to very cold, and never boils away by reaching 240F.
Nope. Your car was made hot because of the same principle on which greenhouses work, i.e. convection was greatly reduced and/or practically eliminated. There is no such thing as greenhouse effect to do anything to your car, i.e. it's a phony religious doctrine that violates physics.
Greenhouses use the greenhouse effect to keep hot. Your car gets hot because of the greenhouse effect. This is a known effect for at least 2,000 years.
Watts is not a measurement of heat. It is a measurement of power. Energy, such as heat energy, is measured in joules. Power is measured in watts, which is joules per second.
All these scientists around the world have studied this their entire professional life, and somehow you figured out they were all wrong in a few minutes?
You do not speak for any of the world's smart people, much less for any scientists.
Falsifies my theory? I don't deny greenhouse effect, I simply state it's likely not CO2 driving it.
Nope. Greenhouses restrict convection to keep hot. Greenhouse effect is a WACKY religious doctrine that violates physics. See my signature.
You are done. Let me know when you find out the SI units for solar radiation, conduction and convection and we can reengage.
Yes it is. Is the lightbulb coming on (pun intended)?
Nope. There is no such thing as "heat energy." That is a contradiction in terms, just like there is no such thing as "area volume."
That's good for a laugh at your expense. To be the same thing, it must have the exact same units of measure.
It is the opposite of a contradiction. All heat is energy, so it is repeating yourself.
Both you and @Walt are in error, but your errors are different. You erroneously believe that there are people who "know" what the earth's average global equilibrium temperature is to any usable accuracy, and there aren't. With that said, nobody knows whether such a global average equilibrium temperature is even changing in ways unrelated to proximity to the sun, much less if it is increasing or decreasing.
This is because you are discussing religion while we are trying to discuss science, to which you are not being value added. You insist on discussing terms whose meanings you refuse to learn. Too funny.
Heat is not energy. Heat is not measured in Joules.
Correct. C'mon, put two and two together.
Nope. Thermal energy is a form of energy and gives us temperature.
I am not even joking here: you are so far off reality, it is not even funny. You are wasting everyone's time.
I am going to make one last attempt to explain to you how the universe works, and then I am quitting. I believe you are trying to not understand, so I am betting this is a waste of my time.
You are the one who is scientifically illiterate yet who believes himself to be a science genius. You are wasting everyone's time.
Wikipedia is not an authoritative source and it is awash in errors. In fact, you just found another one.
I have a better idea. I will go with physics instead of your physics-violating religion. I am not a member of your church and I have no plans to join your congregation.
Hint: Tell me something I don't already know.
Watts is the unit for power, so Watts over time is a different unit of measure, as you noticed.
So you are acknowledging that 60 Watts isn't any specific quantity of energy.
Temperature is specifically thermal energy over mass.
You are. No gas or vapor has the capability to warm the Earth, void. The atmosphere is no exception.
