Yes I said that but it is true surface temperature is determined by how many watts hits it but I did not say it is a measurement of that temperature - negative 4.5 watts will lower the amount of solar energy hitting the surface of the earth thereby lowering the temperature ... good grief!

You wrote what you wrote. Trying to parse and weasel does not change that. Even now, you’re failing to distinguish between watts and watts per square meter.
