You're kidding right? You guys will argue anything to be right! Did you read the part about "available" radiation? Obviously the remaining percent was not ignored. Perhaps that's the reflected light, I don't know, but I doubt Cambridge made THAT big of an error.

If 51% is reflected, then it isn't part of what is absorbed, as you have been asserting.

NOOOO!!, that would BOLSTER my argument because it shows that the atmosphere 'BLOCKS' light even more! Besides, I don't know if the 51% is that at all. After I get some sleep I'll read some more and see if it tells.
