JimD: And this statement shows that you don’t understand radiation basics. You keep treating an absorption as a “temperature forcing” from CO2′s decreasing TOA emission. That doesn’t work in an atmosphere that has a hydro cycle like the earth. The spectrally integrated OLR is the only comparison that can be used to determine whether there is an energy imbalance caused by CO2. It has not been proven and is not likely from the basic physics. You also don’t seem to comprehend that there are no cloud physics involved with any of these changes. They are static and under that assumption, of course, you get a positive feedback from water vapor on CO2. But this is wrong.
