text: For the Earth, the issue with equation 12.1 is how to interpret Te and n. There is no simple way to deconvolute the gaseous greenhouse effect from the radiative emission from clouds.Postmas proposed model doesnt help at all with the Earth, because of the complex coupling between the radiation and dynamics. Which is why a dynamicalclimate model with interactive radiative transfer, water vapor and clouds is needed to get insights much beyondEquation 12.1. Which is what climate scientists have been doing for several decades.
