Let’s see, you say it is causing warming.
The warming is caused by a greenhouse gas.
The greenhouse gas is causing the warming.
That is called Greenhouse Gas Forcing.
Radiative forcing is the change in energy flux in the atmosphere caused by natural and/or anthropogenic factors of climate change as measured by watts / metre2. It is the scientific basis for the greenhouse effect on planets and plays an important role in computational models of Earth’s energy balance and climate.
To put this into a crazy context, every second the sun produces the same energy as about a trillion 1 megaton bombs! In one second, our sun produces enough energy for almost 500,000 years of the current needs of our so-called civilization.
About 30% of the solar energy that reaches Earth is reflected back into space. The rest is absorbed into Earth’s atmosphere.
Incoming energy from the sun is 341 W/m-2. Reflected sunlight is 102 W/m-2. Absorbed sunlight is 239 W/m-2.
The absorbed heat is what we want to talk about because it creates longwave radiation and latent heat. The longwave radiation is what the greenhouse gasses react with and send radiation back to the earth that would otherwise leave the earth. The outgoing longwave radiation is 239 W/m-2.
This is the simple math. There is a wrench in the gearworks of the system. It does not explain The Little Ice Age and will not work with the Little Ice Age. And the Co2 did not cause the Little Ice Age. Mankind did not start the Little Ice Age. As you can see CC posted guesses of what caused the Little Ice Age. That’s 60 years of guessing that can’t pass the mustard. The one that does is a change in the sun’s output. But God forbid going down the pathway that says the sun is the driving force of energy for earth and works in cycles like everything else in the solar system. That is why you never hear about the Grand Solar Minimum that the sun is in right now.
The science to the subject is down if you have a question, just ask. It’s time to brings up to your question.
What you are talking about is called Greenhouse Gas Forcing.
Write4u - And that is not relevant? It is caused by CO2 saturation, no?
A little salt used while cooking and you don’t claim your meal is a meal of salt, do you?
Science is about measurement. Greenhouse gas is mostly water. And water is twice as good at removing protons from radiation than Co2. Not only does it remove protons, but it also removes Co2. There is three times as much water as Co2. That means it is six times as good at removing heat (protons) from the air. And that’s if there were no clouds or high humidity levels.
What we are talking about is called the Humidity Paradox . How is climate change affecting global humidity levels? | World Economic Forum
First thing we want to find out is. What is earth’s mean average humidity level? And then correct all the charts and data that is being poured upon the public.
According to the Clausius-Clapeyron equation, the air can generally hold around 7% more moisture for every 1C of temperature rise.
So, water is not just six time more efficient than Co2. Considering the earth’s surface is 2/3 covered by clouds. It may be twenty times more efficient than Co2.
Meaning the water could be causing over 80% of the heat of greenhouse gasses. And yes they try and allow for this in the computer models. But the models can give out any results you want by picking what data sets that must be used.
The more warmth, the more water in the air. The more water in the air the more snow. And the more clouds. More clouds and we get more heat for the blanket. … evidence that suggests that it is very likely — with an approximately 97.5% probability — that clouds will amplify global heating. Earth's clouds are likely to increase global heating, scientists find | Space
Nothing to do with Co2.
