Knowing that you said that it depicts a flat Earth, despite the explanation of how the energy budget was arrived at, confirms my original conclusion. Now, as for back radiation, is it your contention that it is impossible for the upper atmosphere to reflect radiation back to the Earth? Just a question, requiring a yes or no answer, no condescension or lengthy explanation of unrelated issues necessary, and yes, I do understand the laws of thermodynamics on which you've based this assumption. I just don't think they apply the way you think that they do, but then, there is no point in going into that until you give your clear and unequivocal answer.
