PLEASE don't offend anybody!
You'd seem less hypocritical if you had a problem with all their repeated insults of me and moronic quips, then when I reflect 1/100th of it back, you think I'm the problem. It makes you look as hypocritical as they are.
When CO2 is hit by infrared shortwaves coming from the Earth it doesn't produce heat or heat produced is negligible. There is no atmospheric imbalance!
When CO2 is hit by infrared shortwaves the infrared rays are reflected towards the Earth. This way the Earth warms.
The difference between the energy entering the atmosphere as sun light and the energy going out in the Space as longwaves, the only waves which manage to pass through CO2 and other GHGs, is the ENERGY IMBALANCE.
90% of the energy imbalance is absorbed by the Oceans causing the Temperature of the Oceans rise and also originate stronger hurricanes.
Do you have anything that says that. That's not what CO2 theory was for the first 30 years, but it's possible they re-invented the theory to adapt to observations.
But it doesn't sound like you know what you're saying to me.
An "energy imbalance" is either coming as radio waves in the visible or infrared light spectrum: period. That's the energy. (You can refer to it as light or heat -- but technically, it's light/radio waves that creates heat). The higher frequency stuff, in the microwave range -- directly heat water. (Hence how a microwave oven works).
If CO2 isn't absorbing it (which is the theory) then it's reflecting it.... but if it's reflective of it, then it would reflect more away from the planet, than it would reflect back from the planet -- and it would be a net loss. (e.g. light coming in is stronger than light reflected off the planet -- the same whether it's in the ultraviolent, visible or infrared).
So it's like you're trying to repeat things without understanding what you're saying. (You're retyping what Al Gore or NYT said, after they mangled the science).
There's a possibility that I've never seen hypothicized, that if CO2 was dropping the frequency of some wavelength, and the sun was putting out a ton of high frequency radio waves, it could be converting them down into microwaves, that would be more likely absorbed by water/ocean. But that would also heat up the clouds far far more. And I've never heard anyone claim that was the cause of global warming, nor observed that clouds are warming more than the surface.
