    As soon as you answer for us the following simple multiple choice question...

    Do greenhouse gasses -
    A) Raise the temperature
    B) Decrease the temperature
    C) Raise or decrease the temperature depending on other conditions.

    Perhaps I need to rephrase my question, make it simpler for you...

    Perhaps you can not correctly answer my question.

    My question came first, and it's simpler, "yes" or "no". That's all the help I can give you.

    Your question is not a simple yes or no question. You need to define all the molecules you are referencing and then provide a reference list of papers to select from - all which provide variations of perspective.

    read your link troll... and then think... (by the way I have presented this to you many times before)


    you have presented articles to us explaining that although co2 makes up only a tiny portion of the atmosphere... co2 is powerful because it makes more clouds.

    have you not made that argument?

    so if co2 causes more clouds... what does your link tell us regarding whether the clouds warm or cool?

    answer... NASA and science do not know.


    Don't clouds keep Earth cooler?
    Water in the atmosphere also acts as a greenhouse gas. The atmosphere contains a lot of water. This water can be in the form of a gas—water vapor—or in the form of a liquid—clouds. Clouds are water vapor that has cooled and condensed back into tiny droplets of liquid water.

    Earth's clouds as seen from space.

    Water in the clouds holds in some of the heat from Earth's surface. But the bright white tops of clouds also reflect some of the sunlight back to space. So with clouds, some energy from the Sun never even reaches Earth's surface.

    How much the clouds affect the warming or cooling of Earth's surface is one of those tricky questions that several NASA missions are aiming to answer.

    Dumb people who have never heard of a feedback loop.

    Satellite observation indicates the Earth's energy budget is increasing. So if its albedo is increasing, it's not increasing fast enough to keep that budget in balance (nor is the solar minimum). How's that for a feedback loop, cretin?

    My personal favorite, If we burn all the fossil fuel on earth, the earth will become so hot and there will be no fossil fuel left to burn
