Introduction<\/strong><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve been told that the earth’s surface is quite a bit warmer than calculations predict. 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’s a natural question to ask, so let’s look into it.<\/p>\n

The Theory<\/strong><\/p>\n

Climate science’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’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
