Theory has it that heat-trapping \u201cgreenhouse gases\u201d account for a 33\u00b0 Celsius disparity. But it turns out that our airless moon is also quite a bit warmer than predicted. Might something be wrong with the prediction method itself, then? It&#8217;s a natural question to ask, so let&#8217;s look into it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Theory<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Climate science&#8217;s method of deriving a surface temperature from incoming radiant energy (whose intensity is measured in watts per square meter) is based on the Stefan-Boltzmann formula [1], which in turn refers to a theoretical surface known as a blackbody \u2013 something that absorbs and emits all of the radiance it&#8217;s exposed to. Since by definition a blackbody cannot emit less than 100% of what it absorbs, this fictional entity has no option of drawing heat into itself, for that would compromise its temperature response and thus its thermal emission. Its 100% thermal emission effectively means that a blackbody is a twodimensional surface with no depth.<\/p>\n<div class=\"bbcode_img\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"239\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climaterealists.com\/attachments\/ftp\/Lunar%20Warming.jpg?resize=550%2C239\" alt=\"Image Attachment\" \/><\/div>\n<p>\nSource: ilovemycarbondioxide.com<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/climaterealists.com\/index.php?id=5770\">Read in full with comments \u00bb<\/a>  &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/-hYeXfWLc39mG3-3oYqdUAP_BlQ\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/-hYeXfWLc39mG3-3oYqdUAP_BlQ\/0\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/-hYeXfWLc39mG3-3oYqdUAP_BlQ\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/-hYeXfWLc39mG3-3oYqdUAP_BlQ\/1\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/ClimaterealistsNewsBlog\/~4\/i0uyqJXxwog\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Article Tags: Alan Siddons, Hans Schreuder, Martin Hertzberg Introduction We\u2019ve been told that the earth&#8217;s surface is quite a bit warmer than calculations predict.
