Thanks. I looked at it.
The elephant in the room is the 12-other greenhouse gases which stop infrared, not mentioned.
That's part of the 'science', but omitted from the conversation, for reasons unknown. Potentially very dangerous to a populace motivated to be 'informed.'
After sundown, on a 'clear' night, 'space' is at minus 394 degrees. But if some of the longwave radiation cannot pass beyond the tropopause, it may as well be +33-degrees.
At Montezuma's Castle, in Arizona, the Park Rangers spoke of the indigenous people creating clear-sky-night ice.
I tried it a few times in Lubbock, during college, but never saw results.
