Science is dead; you just missed the funeral notice.

One need only address the canard known as the “greenhouse effect.”

If the atmosphere is capable of reflecting heat (and it surely is) it is going to reflect far more heat away from the planet than will be reflected back toward us. (which is the greater source, Earth or the sun?)

Probably very important is the texture and color of the Earth's surface beneath those clouds.

For instance,snow reflects the sunlight rather than absorbing itas would a plowed field or macadam road.Visible light and even some ultraviotet produce heat on being absorbed by an object,then that object will radiate in the infrared.The Earth's atmosphere tends to block infrared,and far more so when cloudy.That is why infrared astronomy has vastly better results using a satellite above our atmosphere.

Regardless,the AlGore Global Warming Tax and Carbon Credits is a criminal enterprise.

Science is not dead yet. It's just resting.

Perhaps it's even stunned. But this is a sign that science can again become what it was meant to be - the unbiased search for objective truth (something that many libs admit they don't believe even exists).

Physics, the treasure of calculating the energy of a spherical body (Approximation of the Sun) Think of the Sun as an irradiating sphere, and the waves of solar radiation as spheres which expand outward into space. As the sphere radiates outward, the surface area of this imaginary sphere representing the radiation becomes well-dispersed over the area of any given point on it, as the sphere expands (distance increases) If the energy output at the Sun’s surface were to decrease by even a small amount, this would change the radiation received at the surface of the Earth by a significant amount, given how much the Sun’s radiative energy disperses with distance.
