Out of 1.1 kW per square meter of sunlight? Trivial. In the noise level.


Not really. Consider what absolute zero is, around -459 degrees
Fahrenheit.

Consider what the Earth's temp. would be if we were as far away as
Pluto. It wouldn't be absolute zero since there is energy coming from
the Earth's core, but Pluto is -360 degrees Fahrenheit.

So the solar radiation adds around 400 degrees Fahrenheit to the
Earth's temperature. 1.5 watts out of 1.1 kw can indeed affect the
temperature of the Earth.

By some minuscule amount. Now, instead of repeating this over and over you
might want to explain why anybody should give a damn. Also if there is
something you want done about it you should explain what and why. If there
is nothing you want done about it then why are you harping on it?

It's due to small variations in solar output.



HAHAHAHAHAHA!

You can say for certain that it's not CO2 and that it is for certain
variations in solar output?

You know for certain otherwise?




No. I don't.

I laugh at anyone in this group who thinks that they can draw any
certain conclusions about a complex phenomena like global warming.

It's a giant fluid dynamics model with a nearly infinite number of
variables and we've got people spouting off like they know. It's funny.
