Abstract
On the basis of radiation transfer theory, Raymond Pierrehumbert (PHYSICS TODAY, January 2011, page 33) claims that as the ditch in emission spectra seen from space widens, increased atmospheric carbon dioxide renders Earth’s cooling less efficient. Across the ditch, emission by CO2 varies with the temperatures of the strata from which the emission occurs. As the concentration of CO2 increases, its emission to space takes place from progressively higher levels. Near the edge of the ditch, where the emission is from the troposphere, the levels become colder. However, across the 14.5- to 15.5-μm (650–690 cm−1) band they become warmer.From 1970 to 1997, CO2 increased by about half of its glacial–interglacial range. The clear-sky ditch became wider11. J. E.

Allan, Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society 129 594 2971 (2003). https://doi.org/10.1256/qj.02.216 and Earth’s cooling became slightly more efficient. When the effects of clouds are included, the brightness temperature across the atmospheric window is some 30 °C colder than seen in Pierrehumbert’s figure 3a. Clouds partly obscure emissions by CO2 from the troposphere, rendering the widening of the ditch less important than the figure would suggest. Above broadband emitters colder than around –55 °C, the ditch becomes a dike33. J. T. Houghton, The Physics of Atmospheres Cambridge U.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
