The backscatter of re-emitted or reflected LWIR did not increase with CO2 increase, it decreased. This indicates a significant misunderstanding of how our atmosphere works.Been reading through this new study and they have applied the S/B equation to individual sections of the atmosphere. The numbers show the energy loss in return from the lower troposphere. The rise in CO2 is not resulting in a net gain in energy returned to the surface globally.
This is going to leave a huge mark on the AGW theroy... FAILED!

Can you restate this in a clearer manner?
The rise in CO2 is not resulting in a net gain in energy returned to the surface
So the energy returned to the surface (back-radiation) remains the same, despite higher CO2?
The authors of the paper are now looking closely at water vapor energy absorption and retention. If what they suspect is true, CO2 will never cause a runaway effect due to water transport of energy in our atmosphere.
A net loss of energy directed towards the surface in the >6um bands was not expected.

Link?
At this point I can only talk about what I see. I am not authorized to release the document.
A single document shows incoming long-wave radiation decreasing over what period?
Why hasn't anyone else noticed this change?
