It has been said that we have a greenhouse effect or GHE and that the
Earth's atmosphere lets visible light in from the Sun. This heats up the
Earth's surface which radiates long wave InfraRed IR radiation. This IR
radiation gets trapped in by so called greenhouse gases or GHG's and
this heats up the Earth. These GHGs also re-emit back-radiation to the
Earth's surface heating the Earth. In this paper it will be shown that
the trapping of radiation is false and that back-radiation cannot heat
the Earth.
