Geoengineering proposals fall into at least three broad categories: 1) managing atmospheric
greenhouse gases (e.g., ocean fertilization and atmospheric carbon capture and sequestration), 2) cooling the Earth by reflecting sunlight (e.g., putting reflective particles into the atmosphere, putting mirrors in space to reflect the sun's energy, increasing surface reflectivity and altering the amount or characteristics of clouds), and 3) moderating specific impacts of global
warming (e.g., efforts to limit sea level rise by increasing land storage of water, protecting ice sheets or artificially
enhancing mountain glaciers).
However climate models from even 20 - 30 years ago [Schneider and Thompson (1981); Bryan et al (1988); Manabe et al (1992)-RSB- predicted that the response of the Antarctic to
enhanced greenhouse - induced
warming would be much delayed relative to the
warming expected to occur in the Arctic.
I don't think I try to poke holes at the idea that Arctic
warming is «likely driven in part by the global
greenhouse effect» but I do seek out weaknesses with suggestions that it is driven entirely, or to some very large degree, by a human -
enhanced greenhouse effect (at least at the current time).
Whether the
warming is from
greenhouse gases, El Nino's, or solar forcing, trends aloft are
enhanced.
They concluded that therefore with the tropical troposphere
warming no more quickly than the surface, the
warming trend had to be due to something other than the accumulation of
greenhouse gases and
enhanced greenhouse effect.
In fact, only
warming by an
enhanced greenhouse effect will
warm nights more than day, polar regions (and especially the arctic *) more than tropical regions, and cool the stratosphere while
warming the troposphere — all of which are features of the current
warming.
Re 9 wili — I know of a paper suggesting, as I recall, that
enhanced «backradiation» (downward radiation reaching the surface emitted by the air / clouds) contributed more to Arctic amplification specifically in the cold part of the year (just to be clear, backradiation should generally increase with any
warming (aside from
greenhouse feedbacks) and more so with a
warming due to an increase in the
greenhouse effect (including feedbacks like water vapor and, if positive, clouds, though regional changes in water vapor and clouds can go against the global trend); otherwise it was always my understanding that the albedo feedback was key (while sea ice decreases so far have been more a summer phenomenon (when it would be
warmer to begin with), the heat capacity of the sea prevents much temperature response, but there is a greater build up of heat from the albedo feedback, and this is released in the cold part of the year when ice forms later or would have formed or would have been thicker; the seasonal effect of reduced winter snow cover decreasing at those latitudes which still recieve sunlight in the winter would not be so delayed).
We can divide the atmosphere into a lower part (LP), which includes the surface and is the source of IR, and an upper part (UP), which we are asked to assume will cool when CO2 increases, in conjunction with the expected
warming of LP from the
enhanced greenhouse effect.
and first mention of «global
warming» on pg xi The main
greenhouse gas, water vapour, will increase in response to global
warming and further
enhance it»
Anthropogenic global
warming (AGW), a recent
warming of the Earth's lower atmosphere as evidenced by the global mean temperature anomaly trend [11], is BELIEVED to be the result of an «
enhanced greenhouse effect» mainly due to human - produced increased concentrations of
greenhouse gases in the atmosphere [12] and changes in the use of land [13].
This demonstrates that the 70.9 % increase in global CO2 emissions since 1980 did not in any way
enhance the
greenhouse effect as has been falsely claimed since 1988 when this global
warming debacle first began.
AGW, also called «The
Enhanced Greenhouse Effect» is simply the expectation from observation and theory that adding more of these gases will increase the «restiction» and that the Earth will
warm as a consequence.
All this, while according to CO2 / AGW theory, The troposphere is what should see more
warming due to «
enhanced greenhouse effect» that occurs in the atmosphere.
Again, no significant trend of the global averaged Gaa [atmospheric

First, the computer climate models on which predictions of rapid
warming from

Lacis expressly rejects the IPCC's use of the word a «substantial» factor, and argues: «Based on this basic input data, the relevant physics is inescapably clear that the increase in atmospheric CO2 is indeed
enhancing the strength of the terrestrial
greenhouse effect, and thus causing global
warming to happen — all directly attributable to human industrial activity.»
