I have now published my theory of the atmosphere.  Augmenting 19th Century Thermoelectric Greenhouse Theory with 20th Century Quantum Mechanics Raman Spectroscopy: Towards a Coherent Radiation Theory of the Atmosphere THE FULL COMPLEMENT OF GREENHOUSE GASES This is a diagram of all the vibrational modes ('absorption bands') of the Earth's atmospheric gases; in the near-infrared range of the electromagnetic spectrum. Gases are detected by thermoelectric thermopile or bolometer detectors (below), 'what is incorrectly termed 'IR spectroscopy'; and by thermoelectric's complement, Raman (Laser Lidar) spectroscopy (above). Notice that O2 and N2 (some 99% of the dry atmosphere) are only detected using Raman spectroscopy. This is due to their one (and only) vibrational mode being non-thermoelectric: they both have only symmetric vibrational modes, with no electric dipole moments to generate an electric charge by the thermopile and so are not transduced and ...

I would like to share with you a paradox I uncovered during my investigation into thermoelectrics ('IR spectroscopy'): the albedo-emissivity paradox.  Snow's albedo is very high as it reflects light, while its emissivity is also very high (near 1, which implies it absorbs and emits IR radiation and does not reflect IR (thermal) radiation). Snow and ice are near-perfect black bodies. But does snow really not reflect IR (heat)? In any other context, IR is thermal radiation and is related to heat and temperature. Snow absorbs this IR but does not reflect it? Can this be true? I don't think so. Black-painted or dyed snow will melt faster than white pure snow.  No one has discussed this paradox.  Where have I - or scientists gone wrong?  I have a possible answer to this, and the clew is aluminium and other shiny metals - all of which have low emissivities - next to 0. Different materials don't have such low emissivities: not water and not snow - they have high ...
