Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach. TL;DR: Ramanathan proposed that the “greenhouse effect” could be measured as surface upwelling longwave minus top-of-atmosphere (TOA) upwelling longwave. However, this ignores the contributions to…

DLR Curiosities
Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach. [See Update at end] The CERES dataset continues to yield new insights. My joy is to graph different relationships and then see what I can…
In Search of the “Greenhouse Signal” in the 1990s (and when did they know?)
Some scientists were saying ‘yes,’ but others no.
A Novel Perspective on the Greenhouse Effect
Because radiation is an insignificant driver of upward heat transport in the lower atmosphere, these models are based on a false assumption and are therefore invalid.
What Traps Heat the Longest?
The contributions from 3 heat trapping mechanisms are examined: Greenhouse gases, heat domes and ocean barrier layers and how they contribute average global temperature and extreme weather.
A DIY Guide to Demystifying “Greenhouse Gas” Claims…The Science That Cuts Corners
One of the favourite tricks of climate prophets of doom is to suggest that all major factors influencing our climate are more or less constant, with the sole exception of…
A Much Larger Greenhouse Effect – But Temperatures Dominated by Cooling
Guest post by Wim Röst Abstract The Earth’s greenhouse effect is much larger than suggested so far. If surface radiation and the greenhouse effect set surface temperatures, our oceans would…
Why the Sun, Not CO2, Heats the Oceans Revisiting the Debate: Does Greenhouse Back-radiation Warm the Oceans?
After analyzing the physics detailed in this video, I’m convinced it is solar energy that drives the observed ocean heating, and any infrared ocean heating is insignificant at best.
Infrared Forcing by Greenhouse Gases
We review how the atmospheric temperatures and the concentrations of Earth’s five most important, naturally-occurring greenhouse gases, H₂O, CO₂, O₃, N₂O and CH₄ control the cloud-free, thermal radiative fluxes from…
Climate Change, an Emergency, or Not?
The Impact of CO2, H2O and Other “Greenhouse Gases” on Equilibrium Earth Temperatures
Temperature Regulated Cooling Dominates Warming and Why the Earth Stopped Cooling At 15°C
Guest Post by Wim Röst Abstract It is said that the Earth’s surface temperature variations are controlled by [human-induced] greenhouse gases1. This is not the case. When cooling systems dominate,…
The Greenhouse Effect, A Summary of Wijngaarden and Happer
By Andy May This post was updated 9/24/2021 to reflect reader comments. The phrase “greenhouse effect,” often abbreviated as “GHE,” is very ambiguous. It applies to Earth’s surface temperature, and…
