That is a good link, it clearly shows the temperature
goes down as soon as the CO2 goes up.

Sam's better way to hide the decline, just stop at 2000.

Gee, I wonder why the observation plot drops
below the models plot?

But you are not able to describe in your own
words exactly how they do this and where the
heat is stored, how much, for how long?

GHGs do not "trap" heat as well as nitrogen,
because nitrogen can only lose the heat in
molecular collisions, while GHGs can't keep
from losing it because they radiate LW Infra-Red.

Isn't this clear enough for a ninth grader,
and doesn't it suggest a different story is needed
about what GHGs do and how they do it?

I don't subscribe fully to how much thermal
transfer takes place due to convection or latent
heat as described by Bill Ward, but LWIR transfer
in the atmosphere is very short range except for
the 10 um window.

Here are some resources so that you may do a bit of self
education concerning the greenhouse gas effect.

Sam,

You have my deepest sympathy. I can't even imagine how frustrating it
must be to be so sure you are right and so completely unable to say
how or why.

2005.

2007.

Maybe 2009 - the numbers are not yet in.
