It's immediately clear that climate models are unable to resolve
any thermal effect of greenhouse gas emissions or tell us anything about future air temperatures.

This «
thermal inertia» means that Earth has not yet felt the full
effect of today's level
of greenhouse gases, explains Meehl.
Looking in a textbook about atmospheric physics, meteorology or climate physics it is getting quite clear that atmospheres are more complex then just reducing their
thermal structure on the
effects of solar radiation and
greenhouse gases alone.
But for e.g. undergraduate lessons simple models only taking radiation transport by
greenhouse gases together with the distribution
of solar radiation are sufficient to demonstrate the
effect of greenhouse gases on the earth troposphere and that they are essential to explain their basic
thermal structure.

Students know the different atmospheric
gases that absorb the Earth's
thermal radiation and the mechanism and significance
of the
greenhouse effect.
Because, all the real world measurements taken
of downwelling longwave,
thermal, infrared are now attributed as «from the atmosphere» and not from the Sun direct, beam, and therefore bounced back by these claimed
greenhouse gases and so real rises in amount, as for example in the recent warming period we had from the Sun's activity, are fraudulently attributed to Greenhouse Effect back

Greenhouse Effect backradiation.
The cryosphere derives its importance to the climate system from a variety
of effects, including its high reflectivity (albedo) for solar radiation, its low
thermal conductivity, its large
thermal inertia, its potential for affecting ocean circulation (through exchange
of freshwater and heat) and atmospheric circulation (through topographic changes), its large potential for affecting sea level (through growth and melt
of land ice), and its potential for affecting
greenhouse gases (through changes in permafrost)(Chapter 4).
16 Sea level rising by
thermal expansion AND ice melt Sea ice melting (Arctic and Antarctic) Glaciers melting worldwide Arctic and Antarctic Peninsula heating up fastest Melting on ice sheets is accelerating More severe weather (droughts, floods, storms, heat waves, hard freezes, etc.) Bottom line: These changes do not fit the natural patterns unless we add the

Greenhouse gasses Signs that global warming is underway
Show me why
thermal conductivity
of gases can be so low and yet they can somehow have this radiative forcing
effect — especially when it is claimed Nitrogen, Oxygen and Argon do not contribute to the «
greenhouse effect».
Due to the fact that much
of the Earth is covered in oceans, and it takes a long time to heat water, there is a lag before we see the full warming
effects of an increase in atmospheric
greenhouse gases (this is also known as «
thermal inertia»).
The observed outgoing longwave emission (or
thermal infrared)
of the globe is increasing, contrary to what models say on a would - be «radiative imbalance»; the «blanket»
effect of CO2 or CH4 «
greenhouse gases» is not seen.
A 2009 study on the negative
effects of power generation by the Australian Academy
of Technological Sciences and Engineering (ATSE), «The hidden costs
of electricity: externalities
of power generation in Australia» calculated the
greenhouse impacts and health damage costs
of different power generation technologies including coal,
gas, wind, solar photovoltaic, solar
thermal, geothermal, carbon capture and storage, and nuclear energy, and determined that health costs
of burning coal are equivalent to a national health burden
of around $ A2.6 billion per annum.
This «
thermal inertia» means that Earth has not yet felt the full
effect of today's level
of greenhouse gases, explains Meehl.
This illustrates two vital points that are often overlooked: 1) the LWIR escaping into space comes NOT directly from the surface (except in the «window» wavelengths) but from a diaphanous mass
of gases, and 2) there is NO additional
thermal energy produced by the «
greenhouse effect.»
The spectral characteristics
of backradiation show the
greenhouse effect very directly, as the energy is from emission in the bands where
greenhouse gases are able to interact with
thermal radiation.
