No, it was a not a malicious lie. It was an inference.
I said (in essence) “the greenhouse is limited to 278K” and you said “it is limited to 5500K”.
This is analgous to me claiming that Venus’ (I know how much you love Venus) orbit is currently limited to 0.7 AU and you saying it’s limited to 200 AU.
How am I supposed to take that? You offered a preposterous limit. A limit which is fact an optical limit not a greenhouse limit. No possible optics can use solar light to heat something hotter 5500K. Given that the earth isn’t at the focal point of a parabolic mirror that stretches out past the moon or at the focal point of a magnifiying glass of the same dimension then without some means of concentration the earth’s mean temperature is limited by having a maximum possible mean power input of 342W/m2 which is about 277K.
I can’t quite figure out WTF is up with you. Did you have some sort of major brain injury since getting your sheepskin from Stanford? I read somewhere you’re a stay-at-home dad homeschooling your children. I can respect that. I made enough money at my chosen profession to leave the rat race and I did the stay-at-home homeschooling dad gig too. But my action was by choice. I wonder if yours is by necessity and your intellectual prowess is now limited to supervising children studying K-12 material. From the content of your comments it would appear that way and I’d question the competence to even do that. Based on what you’ve written I wouldn’t let you teach physical science high school that’s for sure.
