I'm not the best one to try and answer these questions. We need an expert on heat transfer. But I would guess that via your metabolism you are constantly combusting the fuel in your body to supply heat and your blanket, being a poor thermal conductor is decreasing the rate of heat exchange with your body's surroundings.
Miskolczi's paper has of course attracted a lot of attention. There was a long discussion thread on Roy Spencers blog in 2010. http://www.drroyspencer.com/2010/08/comments-on-miskolczi’s-2010-controversial-greenhouse-theory/ the Aug 6, 2010 , post from Stephen Wilde somewhat expresses my own views. If you do a google on Ferenc Miskolczi you will turn up quite a bit of comment and discussion.
This was interesting: http://www.examiner.com/article/for...fends-theory-refuting-global-warming-doctrine
This details the efforts to keep his work out of the public eye, even though his papers are in recognized, peer reviewed journals. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Ferenc_Miskolczi
Here is a link to his 2014 paper published in "Earth Science". http://edberry.com/SiteDocs/PDF/Miskolczi_2015.pdf
Hansen's boys don't like it when one of their own disagrees: (my comment)
NASA silenced Ferenc Miskolczi on his GHG research
by Dr Miklos Zagoni, Physicist, Budapest, Hungary, 31 Dec, 2009
In 2004, Dr. Ferenc Miskolczi published a paper “The greenhouse effect and the spectral decomposition of the clear-sky terrestrial radiation“, in the Quarterly Journal of the Hungarian Meteorological Service (Vol. 108, No. 4, October–December 2004, pp. 209–251.).
The co-author of the article was his boss at NASA (Martin Mlynczak). Mlynczak put his name to the paper but did no work on it. He thought that it was an important paper, but only in a technical way.
When Miskolczi later informed the group at NASA there that he had more important results, they finally understood the whole story, and tried to withhold Miskolczi’s further material from publication. His boss for example, sat at Ferenc’s computer, logged in with Ferenc’s password, and canceled a recently submitted paper from a high-reputation journal as if Ferenc had withdrawn it himself. That was the reason that Ferenc finally resigned from his ($US 90.000 /year) job.
I want to make it clear: NASA never falsified or even tried to falsify Ferenc’s results, on the contrary, they fully understand it. They know that it is correct and see how important it is. To make sense of their actions, they probably see a national security issue in it. Perhaps they think that AGW is the only way to stop, or to slow, the coal-based growth of China.
In my circumstance where I have been dismissed from my Government paid position in Hungary, I think the information vacuum (in Hungary), has the same type of origin. I believe someone is in the background trying to convince the establishment (media, science, politics) that Miskolczi’s results are against our national security interests.
First, they tried to frighten me, and then when that did not work, they kicked me out from my job. So now I am turning to the wider internet to publicize Miskolczi’s work, as I know that his results are valid and true. There is no way and no need to hold them back for the world to understand them.
Tomorrow, for the first time in my life, I am jobless.
So, you have to go all the way to Budapest. Cool. I'm sure it's a very nice place.
And CO2 is still earth's most important greenhouse gas. It's level controls the earth's temperature. Way more important than even water vapor, which is a short lived GHG.
And why the hell are you still paying attention to Spencer? The man is a joke.
Oh wait....
and no, NASA did no such thing.
