At the same time it will help mitigate and solve catastrophic consequences of human - induced global warming and climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere.
(PS a skin temperature can be lower than the brightness temperature of the OLR because a very thin layer at the top of the atmosphere will absorb a tiny fraction of OLR, thus barely affecting OLR, but must in equilibrium emit that same amount of energy both upwards and downwards; if it were as warm as the brightness temperature of the OLR then it would emit twice what it absorbs and thus cool.
(PS in the grey gas case, the whole atmosphere warms with increases in optical thickness, except at TOA; all the same temperatures are found but they are found at higher levels in the atmosphere closer to TOA.)

Sorry, Feynman never experimentally demonstrated that thermal energy / heat was transferred from the colder atmosphere to the warmer surface of the earth, or experimentally demonstrated that two objects at the same temperature transferred thermal energy / heat to the other object.
At the same time, the atmosphere is getting warmer, meaning it can hold more moisture.
That has led some to propose that after a while such an atmosphere becomes «isothermal» (the same temperature from top to bottom) at the same temperature as the surface save for a shallow layer in contact with the ground which can warm and cool conductively with the ground as sunlight comes and goes.
Multiple people have pointed out to him that the mere fact that Venus is warmer than Mercury despite being farther from the sun, and that Earth is warmer than the moon, despite being the same distance from the sun, show conclusively that atmospheres do in fact result in warmer surface temperatures via the greenhouse effect.
At the same time, the smallest of these particulates, called black carbon, absorb sunlight and warm our atmosphere, contributing to climate change.
All of these larger natural pathways for emitting low - C13 carbon into the atmosphere have been considerably accelerated by this same warming trend.
As CO2 is more or less evenly distributed in the atmosphere the potential for warming due to the increase in atmospheric CO2 is more or less the same for all latitudes on the planet.
Is it: The troposphere, close to the surface air temperature, sea surface temperature, the temperature of the deep oceans??? It matters, because the amount of energy accumulation which may warm the atmosphere by 1 K (K = Kelvin, same as Celsius) is only enough to warm the oceans by about 0.001 K.
** We note, however, that the atmosphere, both over land and ocean, did not warm during this same post-1978 period — even though atmospheric theory and every climate model predicts that the tropical atmosphere should warm nearly twice as rapidly as the surface.
By what appears to be a devilish coincidence, this same molecule that warms the atmosphere, CO2, happens, when combined with H20, to form carbonic acid.

If you are going to look to natural factors you realize that global warming fearmongers are «spitting in the wind,» as in, «You can go outside and spit and have the same effect as doubling carbon dioxide,» and, «If the atmosphere was a 100 - story building, our anthropogenic CO2 contribution today would be equivalent to the linoleum on the first floor,» as follows:
The atmosphere and the conductor will have the same temperature gradiant, in a energy equal partitioned steady state, and neither will be conducting heat from the warmer to the colder.
