We know from our engineering that convection is thousands of times more efficient than radiation, hence every cooler has forced air through fins. However, it is completely ignored in the groupthink. Nasa had a huge study of clear-air convection in the 70's and then all that died when the Scientific Method and direct measurements interfered with Grand Declarations for money. Everybody jumped on the bandwagon of "Selling Stupid Stuff to Stupid People'.
Clear air convection is so efficient that the Earth should be a frozen desert like Mars. But, we can keep a tremendous amount of water. Water keeps in the heat, so we have always had a hybrid system of cold, dry poles, and a wet equator. Water acts as an insulator, not by a greenhouse effect, but by wet-air convection with condensation and rain. The heat energy goes up and down, and never escapes.
The Earth would be very stratified with a bands of very hot and very cold if not for ocean currents. We know that in a computer and the car engine, that water transfers heat efficiently to the convection coolers. We have that on the earth. The more distributed the water channels, the cooler the earth gets. Plate tectonics mucks that up. When the continents are all schmooshed together we have no water cooling, and things get hot enough for dinosaurs. Also, 'continental baking' of the subduction zones release huge amounts of water vapour and carbon dioxide. We are going with the fact that co2 is nothing to water.
For now, we are concentrating on our nice dry poles, where almost all the earth's heat energy gets shoved out to space, in an efficient mechanism that could easily be measured, if that wasn't going to totally destroy the money-making groupthink.
