Briefly put, the process can be defined as a CO2 molecule absorbing a ~ 650 cm - 1 photon (equivalent to a thermal energy of about 900 K), and losing that energy to the surrounding bath of atmospheric gases.

For example: could different oceanic circulation rates change the oceanic CO2 sink / source behaviour, or could different atmospheric conditions change the mixing rates of atmospheric gases hence modify their affect on the solar forcing?

The majority (99.9 %) of atmospheric gases nitrogen, oxygen and argon do not absorb IR.

I think you are getting confused from a statement about there being less CO2 in total (because the air is «thinner»... i.e., there is less of all atmospheric gases there... due to a combination of elevation and the fact that the air thins out more as you go up in elevation near the poles than elsewhere).

WE DO NOT KNOW THE LONG TERM EFFECTS THESE HIGH LEVELS OF ATMOSPHERIC GASES WILL HAVE ON OURSELVES, OUR CHILDREN, our livestock & pets.

It is true that the greenhouse effect theory is based on experimental observations, e.g., a) the different infra - red properties of the atmospheric gases; b) the infra - red nature of the Earth's outgoing radiation and c) the observation that fossil fuel usage is increasing the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

Understanding the interactions of the atmosphere with the land and ocean is key to understanding the natural cycles of atmospheric gases and requires going beyond the earth's surface.

In other words, if the LTE assumption holds, the radiative properties of the atmospheric gases in a given «layer» can increase or decrease the average energy content of that layer relative to the others.

Climatologist David Legates explains why the influence of atmospheric gasses does not necessarily reflect their proportion in the atmosphere.

Twice a year they sink, carrying their load of atmospheric gases downward.

Carbon dioxide production by humans is less than 11 % of the world's production of CO2, which in turn is less than half of the less than 0.1 % of atmospheric gases that are not oxygen or nitrogen.

The radiative theory of atmospheric gases holds that the temperature of Earth's surface is higher than it should be according to the Stefan Boltzmann Constant:

The oceans are the main control of atmospheric CO2 as one of the atmospheric gases in constant flux between the water and the atmosphere.

In addition, they found that in scenarios where the ocean current slows down due to the addition of heat, the ocean absorbs less of both atmospheric gases and heat, though its ability to absorb heat is more greatly reduced.

As I have pointed out before, the difference for most of the atmospheric gases is insignificant but not for CO2, which has a kinetic diameter of 0,33 nm and a collision diameter of 0.39 nm.

It is ignored in most assessments of atmospheric gases; they record only dry air at sea level.

-- It seems perfectly reasonable to me that if we imagine the surface never emits that energy in the first place, - energy that is stored in the surface and just below, i.e. oceans, lakes, rivers, ground, and air, — just to mention a few, then any surface temperature change would be completely reliant on variations in Solar irradiation and advection mainly by Water Vapor (WV) but also by other GHGs that have the ability to contain more heat than the rest of the atmospheric gases.

A change in the LW radiative forcing of atmospheric gases will, if applied to the same climate, result in some disequilibrium.

It seems perfectly reasonable to me that if we imagine the surface never emits that energy in the first place, - energy that is stored in the surface and just below, i.e. oceans, lakes, rivers, ground, and air, — just to mention a few, then any surface temperature change would be completely reliant on variations in Solar irradiation and advection mainly by Water Vapor (WV) but also by other GHGs that have the ability to contain more heat than the rest of the atmospheric gases.
