Exposing the glaring errors in Climatology Energy Budget diagrams

Above is an early "Energy Budget" diagram for Earth published by NASA. The only trouble is that when we quantify the 51% of solar energy shown as being absorbed by land and oceans we get about one-eighth of the solar constant, resulting in a figure of about 168w/m^2 that could not achieve a global mean temperature above 233K which is -40°C. Yes, that is a minus sign, and yes
