Turbulent Eddie, thanks for your reply. I’m very familiar with the conventional n layer Arrhenius radiative GHE, have been studying it for over 6 years now, and have over 300 posts on the reasons why it confuses cause with effect. Obviously only one of these 2 greenhouse theories can possibly be correct, otherwise the 33C GHE would be double (66C):
1. The Arrhenius 33C radiative GHE
2. The Maxwell/Clausius/Carnot gravito-thermal 33C GHE (which preceded the Arrhenius GHE by 24 years & I’ll let you decide which of these physicists you choose to believe)
I can’t post the 300 links here on all the reasons, and won’t try to monopolize Dr. Curry’s site with another long comment, but ask you to consider the following:
Over 100 of the top rocket and atmospheric scientists produced the 1976 US Standard Atmosphere document, which remains the gold standard today. The description document is an absolute goldmine of basic mathematical atmospheric physics & has 50 pages describing why the entire atmospheric profile surface to 100km is a linear function of kinematic viscosity (which has absolutely nothing to do with concentrations of GHGs), and contains the only 1D atmospheric model ever verified with literally millions of observations.
Yet, they never did one single radiative transfer calculation for any greenhouse gas or the atmosphere as a whole in their computations of the entire atmospheric temperature/pressure/thermal conductivity profile from the surface to edge of space. In fact, they calculated the effect of CO2 as negligible & then completely discarded it from their mathematical calculations & model. Please take a look, since it provides overwhelming evidence that the gravito-thermal 33C GHE is correct and that GHG radiation is the EFFECT of, and not the CAUSE of the entire 33C GHE. Here is the entire document:

So, can you, or anyone else, tell me why radiative transfer calculations do not appear even one single time in the entire 1976 US Standard Atmosphere document (or in the International Standard Atmosphere document, which uses the exact same mathematical derivation)?
