Radiation budgets account for increased albedo (reflection of solar rays) and increased trapping of
upwelling infrared radiation.
CO2 absorbs
upwelling infrared radiation (IR) mainly (but not only) in the 15 micron wavelength range.
Not exact matches
Put back the direct heat from the Sun, which is thermal
infrared, longwave
infrared — where's the downwelling from «greenhouse gases by backradiation / blanketing from the
upwelling of the heated Earth»?
So, for example, the Sun's effects on the recent «global warming» are said to be of no significance, that it's all due to the greenhouse gas increase absorbing and radiating back / holding in blanket, the
infrared heat
upwelling from the surface.
With electromagnetic energy from the Sun it needed to push the idea of «shortwave heats land and oceans» because it first had to take out the direct heat from the Sun, thermal
infrared, a.k.a. longwave
infrared, a.k.a. heat, to establish its claimed «backradiation by greenhouse gases from trapping the
upwelling thermal
infrared from the heated Earth» and it didn't want any interference by the real world's direct heat from the Sun, thermal
infrared, direct longwave
infrared.
The AGW Greenhouse Effect claim is that, therefore, any downwelling thermal
infrared measured from the atmosphere is the result of backradition from the
upwelling of the Earth's surface heated by visible light.
I remind, they have done this so they can pretend that all the longwave
infrared, heat, measured downwelling from the atmosphere comes from the heated Earth's
upwelling thermal
infrared «backradiating from greenhouse gases».
The «second AGW» version appears to be emphasising that «the Sun produces very little longwave
infrared» because the «invisible greenhouse glass like barrier» has been attributed by some to being the same «greenhouse gases which trap / backradiate
upwelling heat from the Earth», so perhaps this second version is to deflect from the objection that if these gases trap the
upwelling heat they must also be trapping the downwelling direct, beam, heat from the Sun, and that contribution is not accounted for in downwelling measurements.
So it can pretend that «all downwelling measurements of thermal
infrared, longwave, are the result of greenhouse gases trapping the
upwelling heat and radiating it back to Earth's surface», as SkepticalScience explains further:
AGWSF can not allow direct heat, longwave
infrared, from the Sun because it destroys its claimed «heat trapping by the atmosphere from the
upwelling longwave
infrared».
Thank you, Bevan, for the very clear analysis of the absurdity created by the impossible AGW fictional fisics of `'» shortwave in longwave out» and the thermal
infrared beam from the Sun blocked by an unexplained invisible barrier greenhouse glass unable to get through to heat the Earth's surface», but, included in their
upwelling and downwelling measurements from the atmosphere anyway, which they call «backradiation».
AGWSF has done this so they can pretend that any downwelling heat, thermal
infrared, from the atmosphere is from «backradiation» from the
upwelling thermal
infrared from the heated land and oceans.

To that you answer if the temperature ever starts to rise, due to say volcanic heat, or
upwelling to water's surface, the heat is immediately removed by the power of evaporation as
infrared - resonant gases chug heat straight up through the atmospheric mix to belch it out radiatively at higher altitude; while simultaneously dragging other, non-
infrared resonant gases upward with them, to also dump THEIR heat radiatively, from a higher position than they would have, had the refrigerative cycle not taken place.
According to the theory, a doubling of the CO2 concentration will result in an increase in the power carried by the downwelling long wave
infrared radiation (DWLWIR), up from approximately 346 W / m ^ 2 (for simplicity I am rounding to the unit place and suppressing the uncertainty) by 4 W / m ^ 2 (2), and the Earth surface will warm until the sum of the
upwelling long wave
infrared radiation (UWLWIR), the latent heating of the troposphere (LH), and the sensible heating of the troposphere (SH) has increased by 4 W / m ^ 2.
The Ground Radiation (GNDRAD) collection of radiometers provides continuous measurements of broadband reflected shortwave (solar) and longwave (
infrared) irradiances for
upwelling components.
