105

λmax= 2.8977729×103mK 193.0

=15014.367357513 nanometers

But when I do it on the calculator I end up with 150.14 and not unless I go 105 I get the right number.

eta: I'm asking\ because I'm going to show climate retards that co2 absorbs only low energy photons and I can't be fucking up the equation, Thanks

The way CO2 acts as a greenhouse gas is by absorbing energy as I described and then sharing that energy out in the three ways I described.

Black body radiation isn’t how it transfers energy to the atoms around it. It’s done through inelastic collisions and emission of longer wavelength relaxation photons that are absorbed by other bonds types. The black body temperature of the atoms is just too low be a meaningful contribution to energy transfer to the surroundings.

Edit: stupid auto correct

I'm aware. The point of this exercise is to show the temperatures involved for emitting wavelengths that co2 is able to intercept aren't from the surface. Too warm to produce 15µ.

Your argument makes no sense.

The argument for global warming is the sun heats the earth , the IR travels to space but co2 "traps" longwave IR and sends it back to "reheat" the earth. Despite the thermodynamic errors in their description, they assume all IR is intercepted by co2 when that is not the case. Only wavelengths that are 15µm.

Any disagreement?
