%X This study deal with interactions between thermal and
radiative energy flow in experimental situations of varying complexity. Of special
interest is how IR energy, re-emitted from CO</span><sub><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">2</span></sub><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> gas, behaves in an earth/atmosphere
simulated setup. Such an experiment was performed by Hermann Harde and Michael Schnell
where they show that IR radiation emitted from CO</span><sub><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">2</span></sub><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> can warm a small black-body
metal plate. In a control experiment, we verified this result. However, in their
experiment, the amount of IR radiation from the heating element was strongly attenuated.
In a modified experiment, where IR emission from the heating source is present,
no heating but a slight cooling of a black object is found when air is replaced
by CO</span><sub><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">2</span></sub><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">. The modified experimental situation is also more like the earth/atmosphere
situation. The presence of IR radiation from a heated surface (like when the sun
heats the earth</span></span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">กฏ</span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">s surface) strongly attenuates the heating ability of increasing backscatter
from increased amount of CO</span><sub><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">2</span></sub><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> in the atmosphere. This result has consequences
for the climate change models used by IPCC.
