The video shows a black day time sky above the balloon and the murkiness of the lower atmosphere and just how dependant we are on a fairly tiny amount of atmosphere for our survival.
Your blood will boil at 64,000 feet. Atmospheric pressure at 100,000 feet is 0.15 of a standard atmosphere.

No matter how much you keep up the insulting and sneering tone if your model is going to make sense you need to explain how the heat is lost to space where you keep telling me that the coldness of outerspace is not important. As things stand at the moment you lack knowledge and seem very determined to remain like that. >>The earth is hardly exposed to space temps... Because there is nothing there to "steal the heat". That is a very ignorant thing to say. It suggests you are totally clueless at this point in time. |

It still is a cool video, and I think maybe we can all agree that our atmosphere seems like a pretty thin veneer of protection, no matter what you think of AGW and CO2.

Another item of importance is the curvature of the earth. Easily observed, via the video, that radiation at even slight elevation has a much wider window to outer space.

Most of the curve you see there is just the camera. The balloon only goes 20 miles up and the Earth is huge Not so sure about that. At 20 miles high the horizon has a radius of 400 miles. A typical camera will give you one radian field of view without curvature. So 400 miles represents almost 7 degrees of curvature of the earth not at all far from what is being observed in the film. |

Time, temperature, density, and energy are the simple regulators of earths temperatures. Your failing to understand simple concepts is no fault of mine. You need to be spoon fed. I will not due so. |
