I discovered this neat paper from before climate science was contaminated by politics that (as I read it) says that the tropics don't get warmed much by doubled CO2 (the energy gets transferred elsewhere) and the net effect of CO2 increases (as I read it) on total energy is little to none.

But before the deniers crow that climatologists don't know what they're doing, note this well: The predictions made using these models almost always seem to underestimate the effects of climate change.

About 1980ish, some old ideas like the greenhouse effect were brought out of mothballs and re-examined with new tools and techniques; simultaneously several researchers and theoreticians released their notes, published, or otherwise got together and there was a surprising consilience and not a small amount of mixing with old school hippy ecologism on some of the topics that became the roots of Climate Change science (before it was called Global Warming); innovations in mathematics were also applied to climate thought; supercomputers (though «disappointing» on weather forecasting) allowed demonstration of plausibility of runaway climate effects, comparison of scales of effects, and the possibility of climate models combined with a good understanding of the limits of predictive power of weather Climate Change science (before it was called Global Warming); innovations in mathematics were also applied to climate thought; supercomputers (though «disappointing» on weather forecasting) allowed demonstration of plausibility of runaway climate effects, comparison of scales of effects, and the possibility of climate models combined with a good understanding of the limits of predictive power of weather climate thought; supercomputers (though «disappointing» on weather forecasting) allowed demonstration of plausibility of runaway climate effects, comparison of scales of effects, and the possibility of climate models combined with a good understanding of the limits of predictive power of weather climate effects, comparison of scales of effects, and the possibility of climate models combined with a good understanding of the limits of predictive power of weather climate models combined with a good understanding of the limits of predictive power of weather models.
