Thanks for the link. A very interesting read. After over twenty years of expensive research you would think we would have some definitive numbers for AGW that nobody can argue about. _________________ "99.9 percent of ocean heat is derived from sunlight at wavelengths less than 3 microns."

Possible long-term consequences of the “greenhouse effect,” the gradual warming of the Earth’s climate, may include melting the polar ice caps and a rising sea level.
A. may include melting the polar ice caps and a rising sea level
B. may include the melting of polar ice caps and the rising sea level
C. may include polar ice caps that are melting and sea levels that are rising
D. include melting the polar ice caps and sea levels that are rising
E. include melting of the polar ice caps and a rise in sea level _________________ Global Warming Survival Center |

No the greenhouse effect is genuine. Because of the backradiation, the surface temperature and the upwards thermal radiation is much larger than if there was no greenhouse effect.
Atmospheric backradiation has been directly measured for over fifty years. The effects of greenhouse gases stand out clearly in modern measurements, which are able to show a complete spectrum.
Coincident measurements of the infrared emission spectrum of the cloudfree atmosphere at (a) 20km looking downward over the Arctic ice sheet and (b) at the surface looking upwards.
You can see the 'mirror image effect due to absorption at 650 and 1050 cm-1
