Svensmark had the nerve to hypothesize that most of the global warming of the 20th Century can be explained by the reduction in cosmic rays due to livelier solar activity, resulting in less low cloud cover and warmer surface temperatures.

Warmer surface temperatures also tend to occur during particularly active parts of the solar cycle, known as solar maximums, while slightly cooler temperatures occur during lulls in activity, called minimums.

When phytoplankton increase, zooplankton flourish, treating whales, sea birds and young Arctic cod to a bountiful feast.2 In addition to more food, the warmer surface temperatures stimulate the «cold - blooded» Arctic cod grow faster and bigger, and bigger fish are better able to survive the winter.

They expect it's plausable that the «hiatus» in warming surface temperatures will last another decade, after which atmospheric temperatures are likely to rise quickly again.

The excess gases in the atmosphere are believed to enhance the greenhouse effect by not only preventing infrared light from escaping into space, but also by absorbing more outgoing energy, leading to warmer surface temperatures.

There is no need for James Hansen's explanation in which he realises that extra energy is needed to explain the warm surface temperature, but quite incorrectly assumes it is supplied by radiation from the colder atmosphere, including some from carbon dioxide molecules.

Kinetic Theory is useful and I have used it in my paper to explain the autonomous formation of the gravitationally induced temperature gradient, which then fully explains the warmer surface temperatures of all planets and, cogently debunks the greenhouse «radiative forcing» conjecture.
