Change "33C (57F)" to "33C (91F)". Gumbodumbo11 (talk) 22:30, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: @Gumbodumbo: This appears to not be a direct conversion; but a difference (ex. 33 C is 91 F, but a difference of 33 C is only 59 F; and (since 1 C is 9/5 F, so 33 C = 59.4 F). Why anybody in their sane mind would use Fahrenheit in an article about a scientific topic (where the more usual units, across the globe, are either Celsius or Kelvin) eludes me, but there is no reason to change this particular bit.

A new book, "Air of Doubt" (ISBN: 979-8697917329) by Dr. Frank A Tinker, offers an argument against the existence of a Greenhouse Effect. It applies the Stefan-Boltzmann Equation to the 65mW/m^2 geothermal flux found over continental crust to resolve the 33K(C) temperature deficit when only solar flux is used. The argument is that steady-state flux, both solar and geothermal, requires the use of the superposition principle when analyzing the solution of the heat equation for the column of earth being heated. As such, the sum of the separate solutions (solar and geothermal) is 255K + 33K = 288K. Thus, Earth's global mean surface temperature is fully described by the solar and geothermal flux, leaving no room for a Greenhouse Effect.

For completeness, it appears that reference and argument should be included in this topic. Link: www.airofdoubt.com

Not done the book is WP:self-published, which makes it an unreliable source for the purposes of Wikipedia. The author is not an expert in climate science. Furthermore, it adheres to a WP:FRINGE perspective, which we typically don't cover in the scientific article. Not only does it denying climate science, it also contradicts general relativity and Kepler's laws, other well-established scientific fields. Femke Nijsse (talk) 17:39, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

″it also contradicts general relativity and Kepler's laws″

It does? Just how does it do that? Are you a reliable source? Damorbel (talk) 09:38, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Change "in the anti-greenhouse effect, the atmosphere keeps radiation out while letting thermal radiation out" to "in the anti-greenhouse effect, the atmosphere lets radiation out while not letting thermal radiation in" ..Tarun..Khardia.... (talk) 05:21, 29 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not done. See anti-greenhouse effect. ◢ Ganbaruby!  (Say hi!) 06:29, 29 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
