Absorption of surface IR by CO2 does not warm the Earth. It is also not a force. There is no forcing. The surface is COOLED by emitting IR light. It's just another way for the surface to cool by heating the atmosphere.
There is no 'forcing'. CO2 is not a force.
Climate 'scientists' deny science and mathematics. Science does not use consensus. Science is never 'settled'. There are no proofs in science. It is an open functional system. No theory is ever proven. No theory is possible to exist at all based on a void argument fallacy. Define 'climate change'.
Then why is there so much controversy?
Lie. I accept that definition of temperature. Always have. Irrelevance fallacy.
It is not possible to measure the temperature of the Earth. It is not possible to measure the global concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere. You don't have enough instrumentation.
Math error: Failure to provide raw unbiased dataset. Failure to select by randN. Failure to normalize by paired randR. Failure to declare variance. Failure to calculate margin of error.
Argument from randU fallacy.
Like I said. Climate 'scientists' deny math, just as you do.
From The Manual:
Feedback: noun
A feedback is a specific type of forcing employed by Climate that overcomes the physical limitations of the 1st and 2nd Laws of Thermodynamics by creating additional usable energy. Feedbacks come in various subcategories, e.g. thermal, climate, hydrostatic, radiative, etc.. This falls under Settled Science.
By 'models', you mean computer programs. Models don't predict anything.
Computer programs only spit out the numbers they are told to spit out. A model in a computer program is the 'noun' the program works on 'the verb'. Models themselves are randU. They simply come out of someones head. The programs that run on them also simply come out of someone's head. Neither are capable of prediction. They are random numbers of type randU.
A randU is the 'predictable' random number. They all come out of someones head. When that someone tries to use them as data or as a predicate, that is a fallacy, known as an argument from randU fallacy.
Models are not a proof. They are worth nothing more than Holy Entrails.
