Is solar forcing trying to warm the planet now or cool the planet now?Very good post. I want to point out a particular observation abu made that I have been failing to note in my own posts.
This point is true both of the outgoing LW and the incoming LW atmospheric backscatter. This point is really the lynchpin. This are direct observatons and measures of the energy imbalance that is causing the observed warming and it sports the precise spectral signature of the greenhouse gases. As far as I can see, that ought to absolutely end discussion ast to the cause of the current global warming.
