Wrong.
It's a matter of re-radiation, not flow.
Co2 absorbs heat radiated by the Earth and re-radiates some of that
heat back to the ground.
Any object will absorb radiated energy, irrespective of it's
temperature.
There is no violation of the laws of thermodynamics.
That glaring little error is probably why nobody in the climate
science community takes this paper seriously.

There is never a net heat flow from a low temp to a high temp, even using
IR, even claiming "re-radiation". That's just physics.
Yes, the colder body radiates to the warmer body, but the warmer body
radiates even more energy to the colder body. Net heat follow is always
from colder temp to warmer temp.
AGWer "science" denies the laws of thermodynamics as well as equilibrium
chemistry.
Childish, immature name calling doesn't change that.

The CRC handbook shows whomever this "Tyndall" guy is to be wrong.

I haven't got time to plow through the entire thing right now, but one
thing that strikes me (apart from the polemic) is that on pp 61-63 he
calculates the surface temperature by incorrect use of the
Stefann-Boltzmann equation (omitting the factor 4), announces proudly
that this is obviously wrong, then introduces a completely superfluous
factor which he applies to his incorrect result to get yet another
incorrect result.
Is it really worth reading the rest of it?

• Are you absolutely certain that CRC can do no wrong
Then you are a fool.
Tyndall was a brilliant physicist in the late 19th cent
His work was pioneering and laid the groundwork for
many others
His problem was, as a laboratory scientist he was not
equipped to test his theories in the real world.
Nevertheless the two items I cited are accepted widely
SilentOtto
Nitrogen and Oxygen are invisible to IR radiation.
They don't absorb it, so they don't re-radiate it back to the ground.

Yes there is.
If you shine a laser beam on the sun, the sun will absorb the energy.
It doesn't matter one bit that the sun is hotter than the laser beam.
The sun will, in tern, re-radiate that energy back into space.

You've just proven you don't understand the physics. Thermo is a

I said that the CRC handbook is quite clear on water vapor absorbing IR.
I also pointed out that this experiment is done in lower division
undergrad chemistry.
You can read about it here.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_absorption
Quite frankly, if it comes to rejecting the claims of a bunch of rude
Marxist or rejecting the claims of the CRC Handbook, most common
Chemistry texts, and the results of experiments I, myself, have done,
then the rude Marxist will lose out ever time.
I M @ good guy
Stop right there, there is no good evidence that
any GHG radiates IR back to the ground from more
than a few meters above the ground, or that the
ground radiates IR which is absorbed by GHGs
more than a few meters above the ground.
The ground is usually cooler than the air,
most places, the AGW nuts seem to think the
moist Earth and wetlands are as warm as the
tarmac where they board private jets to go to
climate conferences in tropical paradises,
If you knew any climate science, your
head might swell.
SilentOtto
You're the one who doesn't understand physics, rightard.
The Law of Thermodynamics deals with -convection-, not radiation.
It's not the same thing.
When one shines a laser on the sun, the sun is much hotter than the
laser.
What's the sun going to do, refuse to accept the energy because it's
hotter than the laser? Send it's own energy back along the path of
the laser?
No.
It absorbs it an then re-radiates it.
Really, rightard...
It's not that complicated.
I bet you think the law of thermodynamics also invalidates the Theory
of Evolution too, don't you?
Heh heh...

See, for example, Sears, Zemansky and Young; or my favorite, Halliday and
Resnick for a good text on lower division intro physics. Radiation and
all mechanisms for heat transfer.

Different mechanisms of heat transfer are all part of thermo. If you take
a grad level class in thermo, like out of Morris, you'll find even
magnetic aspects included in thermo.

And the laser does work. The laser itself consumes MUCH more energy to
create the laser light than the laser light comes out of it. Unless you
can show how CO2 in the atmosphere is a CO2 laser, all you're doing is
showing you don't understand physics, particularly thermo.
< snip rant of angry troll. >

But it's not HOTTER than the sun. That's his point and mine. A
photon emitted by a cooler object can be absorbed by a warmer object;
to just look at temp. is wrong.

We're specifically discussing the claim that AGW violates the 2nd Law
of Thermodynamics.
The example given dealt with convection.
It was wrong.
Convection isn't the mechanism involved.

Totally and completely irrelevant.
No matter how much energy it took to create the laser beam, the Sun
will still absorb what ever radiation strikes it.
It's true that more energy went into creating the laser beam than
arrived at the sun, but so what?
That's not what we're talking about.
I'm not contesting the Laws of Thermodynamics.
We're talking about whether not not bodies absorb radiation, not
entropy.
I'm pointing out that nothing in AGW runs counter to the 2nd Law of
Thermodynamics, as was claimed..
That you're accepting the claim that AGW runs counter to the 2nd Law
of Thermodynamics makes you a liar or an idiot.
Which is it?

Are you claiming that CO2 in the atmosphere can't absorb energy
radiated from the Earth?
Are you claiming that CO2 in the atmosphere can't re-radiate the
energy it absorbs back to the Earth?
Are you claiming that the Earth can't absorb that energy?
Unless you're making one of the above claims, and can support it,
you've lost.
Heh heh...
Rightard climate change deniers...
Batshit crazy and dogshit stupid, every single last one of you.
