    Heat is the transfer of thermal energy. You are openly denying the Stefan-Boltzmann law.

    The 1st and 2nd laws of thermodynamics and the Stefan-Boltzmann law are existing theories of science. They have not been falsified. You are just discarding them.
    No additional energy is required, less escapes back into space.

    What else eludes your understanding?

    We don't burn fossils for fuels. Fossils don't burn. We burn carbon based fuels such as coal, oil, or natural gas. CO2 is incapable of warming the Earth.
    Thanks for providing an exceptional - but also weirdly comical - example of the ignorance of the Climate Denial Cabal.

    There is no point in even wasting valuable time and brainpower engaging this level of stupidity, other than to say it was proven experimentally over a century ago that the CO2 molecule has the capacity to absorb and re-emit IR radiation from the earth's surface. There is no debate about this, and the level of uncertainty is approximately zero percent.

    And the term fossil fuels is a colloquialism that is widely understood by speakers of the English language. Any attempts to word smith it demonstrate either a lack of mastery of standard conversational English language at best, or a very strange preoccupation with nitpickery and neurotic word-smithing at worst.

    Sorry dude, that violates the Stefan-Boltzmann law. You cannot reduce the radiance of Earth and increase its radiance at the same time. This law states:

    radiance = SBconstant * emissivity * temperature ^ 4
    Where radiance is in watts/sq meter,
    emissivity is a measured constant,
    SBconstant is a constant of nature,
    temperature is in deg K.

    If radiance goes down, temperature MUST go down with it. It does not increase. It DECREASES.

    You cannot trap light. You cannot trap heat.

    It can be confusing.
    Especially with so much disinformation being spread, even by universities.

    Unknown.
    With certainty, no. With the data available, yeah.
    Bingo. This is right on the bullseye.

    Why?
    Barrier islands come, go move this way and that. Its tides and storms. Old as time.

    Why ? You mean go there ? Its beautiful, its the ocean.

    CO2 does absorb infrared light. That is nothing more than the surface cooling itself heating the air, same as conductive heating does. That does not warm the Earth. CO2 is colder than the surface. It cannot in turn heat the surface. You can't heat a warmer object with a colder one.

    Thermal energy isn't absorbed. Any matter warmer than absolute zero has thermal energy.

    Thermal energy IS temperature.

    CO2 is above absolute zero. It has thermal energy just like everything else.

    Yes, I get that you don't understand the mechanics of heat.
    You don't need to make it any clearer.
    Absolutely no one claimed the radiance is increased, but keep trying.

    No, it was taught in schools that oil comes from fossils. It doesn't.

    This is YOUR attempt.

    It is YOU that is nitpicking here. Right here. In your post.
    So according to your misapplied laws, heat pumps don't work. CO2 and water vapor are not greenhouse gases.
    Green houses do not work.

    Citation required on your claim that schools taught that fossil fuels were made from fossils.

    Heat pumps do not heat anything with something that is colder by themselves. They require additional energy to work. Entropy can not decrease in any system. It can only increase or stay the same. Heat only flows from hot to cold.

    Correct. There is no such thing as a 'greenhouse' gas.

    Yes they do. They do not use special gases. They work by reducing heat, specifically convective heat.

    No. Do your own footwork if you are interested, lazy bum.
