That's weird.

I guess you were too anxious to label them weird to read the whole post.

What makes you say that? Did you find it convincing?

It looks like baloney to me:

1) The "sealed glass-box" idea has nothing to do with the modern
greenhouse effect. That's a process explained by quantum mechanics,
not by wavelength selection through partially transparent materials.
Even mentioning it as an analogue to the modern theory is evidence
that one doesn't know what one is talking about.

2) Nikolov and Zeller had to fake the atmospheric pressure of Mars in
order to fit their model to it.

3) Even if the theory was correct at one level, it would describe a
*static* situation. Warming is a *dynamic* situation. Any warming
caused by pressure would quickly be emitted to space by IR radiation,
and there is no forcing mechanism in N&Z's model to replace the lost
heat. Any high school physics student should recognize this right
away. Roy W. Spencer, a Ph. D. physicist, made a very kind and polite
explanation of this, and why N&Z's model is not physically possible.

You'll note that practically the only repitition of the paper is being
made by hard-case climate deniers.
