The real travesty in climate science is that the ubiquitously accepted null hypothesis is that the
earth's spectrum without the greenhouse effect
of the atmosphere (ie, its surface spectrum) is approximately that
of sort of a step function with an (observed) albedo
of approximately 0.3 with respect to the sun's spectrum but 0.0 with respect to the approximately 279 kelvin temperature
of a gray (
flat spectrum) ball in our orbit thus producing equilibrium temperature
of about 255 kelvin.
