Your example is wrong again. This is only the greenhouse impact, which is probably small in total, and 90% of which is not related to CO2. There is also the solar variable impact, which is much more important than the Greenhouse impact, and drives the atmospheric levels of H2O. Miniscule. CO2 gets bullied by solar variables impacting upon H2O in the atmosphere. Edited August 15, 2023 by Ecocharger Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TailingsPond + 505 GE August 15, 2023 (edited) The authors of your favourite paper sure make it sound like there is an established consensus. "It has long been accepted that the “greenhouse effect”, where the atmosphere readily transmits short wavelength incoming solar radiation but selectively absorbs long wavelength outgoing radiation emitted by the earth, is responsible for warming the earth from the 255K effective earth temperature, without atmospheric warming, to the current average temperature of 288K. It is also widely accepted that the two main atmospheric greenhouse gases are H2O and CO2." Edited August 15, 2023 by TailingsPond Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, that is 10% of the Greenhouse effect, which itself is only a small part of the overall picture dominated by solar variables acting through atmospheric H2O. There is also a strong short-term effect from changing particulate levels. That is the "shade" effect, which is strongly impacted by particulate levels. The H2O impact consists of a combination of Greenhouse effect and shade effect. So 10% of 10% (I am being generous there to you) might be about 1% of the total picture. The dominant actors are solar acting through atmospheric H2O. Edited August 15, 2023 by Ecocharger Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You really are confused, here is the full context showing that this is only related to the greenhouse effect. "Atmospheric absorption" refers to the greenhouse effect. " The aim of this paper is to simplify the method of achieving a figure for climate sensitivity not only for CO2, but also CH4 and N2O, which are also considered to be strong greenhouse gases, by determining just how atmospheric absorption has resulted in the current 33K warming and then extrapolating that result to calculate the expected warming due to future increases of greenhouse gas concentrations.

But that is good news for you, you can go and fill your gas tank with a clean conscience. The other sources of warming such as solar variables and particulates have been known for a long time. This article was from 2021, long after solar and particulates were brought into the mix. Edited August 15, 2023 by Ecocharger Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here is the explanation of atmospheric absorption relating to the greenhouse effect. https://www.bgs.ac.uk/discovering-geology/climate-change/how-does-the-greenhouse-effect-work/ "A greenhouse gas is called that because it absorbs infrared radiation from the Sun in the form of heat, which is circulated in the atmosphere and eventually lost to space."

No, he only studies the greenhouse effect here, and this is in 2021 by which time the other causes of temperature change such as solar variables and particulate levels were known. This is just a small part of the whole picture. He makes it clear that this is only relevant to "atmospheric absorption" effects. That is greenhouse effect only. That net 33K is due JUST to greenhouse, the remaining earth temperature of 255K was due to other factors. So that means only about 12% is due to greenhouse in this calculation. Those numbers of 255 and 33 are not cast in stone. but involve various assumptions.

No, I showed you above that only 33K of the 288K is assumed here to be greenhouse. That is about 12% in this estimate. The remaining 255K includes other factors such as solar variables and particulate levels, and of course changes in those variables also impact temperature. If you bother to look at those percentages you quote, they consist of H2O, CO2, CH4, N20, in other words the greenhouse gases. They comprise the 33k attributed to the greenhouse effect.
