'' Amusingly enough, the author interprets the differential equations describing the absorption of infrared light by the atmosphere as a realization of equations of general relativity and discusses a term missed by Arthur Eddington and Arthur Milne around 1922.»

This is not the definition of «greenhouse effect» that is commonly used in climate science, whereby it relates to the atmospheric emission and absorption of infrared radiation.

Thus, if the absorption of the infrared emission from atmospheric greenhouse gases reduces the gradient through the skin layer, the flow of heat from the ocean beneath will be reduced, leaving more of the heat introduced into the bulk of the upper oceanic layer by the absorption of sunlight to remain there to increase water temperature.

This knowledge is not new; the same year as Charles Darwin published «The Origin of Species», John Tyndall, an Irish scientist, published a paper in 1859 describing how he measured the absorption of infrared radiation in his laboratory, finding that CO2 and water vapour absorbed the radiation, whereas nitrogen and oxygen, the main gases in the atmosphere, do not.

Then say: «The GCMs use the laboratory data on the absorption of infrared by CO2 and a whole lot more science to try to make climate predictions.
