In those days my analysis was really done using a slide rule and scrap paper, but I now use spreadsheets. If their results matched within reasonable limits, I accepted them. I got into the habit of doing a “back of the envelope” calculation of my own as a “sanity check” on their results. Īs I’ve mentioned before, during my long career as a system engineer I’ve worked with many talented mathematical analysts who always provided precise results, mostly correct, but some precisely wrong, usually due to mistaken assumptions. Solar "light" energy in is equal to Earth "heat" energy out. This posting is designed to get back to basics and perhaps transform our heated arguments into more en lightened understanding :^) Their objections seemed to add more heat than light to the discussion. However, some commenters seem to have been taken in by scientific-sounding objections to the basic science behind the Atmospheric “Greenhouse Effect”. I’ve learned a lot from WUWT readers who know more than I do. My Visualizing series has garnered almost 2000 comments, mostly positive. Solar “light” radiation in = Earth “heat” radiation to Space out! That’s old news to those of us who understand all energy is fungible (may be converted to different forms of energy) and energy/mass is conserved (cannot be created nor destroyed).
