The major problem with the top graph is that one could easily come to the conclusion that the red area and the blue area represents the average amount of em power entering and leaving the Earth. But this can not be the case, and the plot does not convey the most important fact of energy transfer balance- that average power in equals average power out. blackcloak (talk) 04:14, 16 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That and the infrared is blue and the ultraviolet is red. *boggle* 99.56.139.149 (talk) 01:06, 6 December 2009 (UTC) Well, since both are invisible, they get to assign colors to them...and its opposite day.[reply]

Has it not occured to anyone that if the total heat radiated from the earth in the CO2 absorption band is completely absorbed in the atmosphere, there is no mechanism that relates global warming to CO2 density? Awad ap iago (talk) 08:58, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You might have an interesting point that I would comment on if only I could figure out what you're suggesting. mechanism=equation? CO2 density=CO2 concentration? Please elaborate. blackcloak (talk) 06:37, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The title refers to transmittance but the lower plots are of absorption. blackcloak (talk) 06:37, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
