Your attempts at deflection will not work...
No... you quoted about half of one sentence. I quoted all of 3 sentences that give the full context. And your partial quote is highly misleading without the full quote.
No, it doesn't. But it does expose your completely dishonest calculations for the fraud that they are.
No **** Sherlock... so tell us all why you are comparing changes in surface measurements with calculations of imbalance happening near, or at the top of the atmosphere. You will not because you can't!! At least you can't without lying about it.
For the portion of the spectrum Feldman measured, the two numbers should be almost the same.
CO2 blocks nearly 100% of the 15 um photons within 100 meters, that slowdown/frequency shift is what is seen at the top of the atmosphere
as an energy imbalance, a reduction in the energy out vs energy in.
Think of 1000 feet of water pipe, with a valve near the beginning,
If I have the valve open 100%, and then close the valve to 50%, would not that same volume reduction show up at the end of the pipe, as at the valve?
The analogy is not perfect but close, A photon moving toward space, will get there, but as a collection of lower energy photons and longer wavelengths.
but no matter the path, the total energy of that starting photon will leave the atmosphere.
Feldman's downwelling longwave radiation is the result of the low frequency spontaneous emission of atmospheric atoms and molecules, decaying back towards ground state.
The energy that is coming down, is a wider spectrum mirror of the energy that is leaving the atmosphere, the two portions that make the whole.
Measuring the downwelling longwave radiation is not simply measuring lesser energy photons near the surface, but photons
that have originated from the entire column of atmosphere, all the way out to the top of the atmosphere.
