Wicked Wench Fan has also submitted...Good Morning,<br /><br />Wicked Wench Fan has also submitted the following question about the Venus/Earth comparison referenced above: "Can you please walk me through the reason why 1.91 times the solar energy hitting Venus compared to Earth needs to be reduced to 1.176? Can you do it in simple layman's terms? I would like to share your discovery far and wide, but need proper understanding on this aspect before getting called out on it by a sly lukewarmer or AGW advocate. Thanks."<br /><br />(Comments are closed on the "Venus: No Greenhouse Effect" page, Wicked Wench Fan, so I'm going to answer you here.)<br /><br />The temperature of an isolated body in space varies as the fourth root of the power (the radiation intensity) it absorbs from the Sun. The fourth root of 1.91 is 1.176.<br /><br />You might also find the post <a href="http://theendofthemystery.blogspot.com/2013/06/dont-tell-experts.html" rel="nofollow">"Don't Tell The Experts"</a> helpful.
