[[However, an insulator (such as GHG) can keep an object warmer at night, increasing the average temperature.]]
Sorry, only the Sun's radiation warms the Earth's surface, and the atmosphere just cools it. If something hinders the cooling at night, that's not global warming. By the next sunrise the surface is completely cooled to start another round. The maximum daily temperature is set during the daytime, not at night, and nobody but the lying IPCC thinks it can average the nighttime temperature in.
As to water, it is a pure cooling agent for the Earth, with many processes working in harmony. CO2 doesn't have any physical way to heat the Earth's surface hotter than the Sun did, and neither does H2O. Instead, both work to cool it. What happens way up in the sky has nothing to do with the surface because it contains heat already removed that will never return and either end up dissipated harmlesssly by entropy or vented to super-cold space. This includes the recent news about heat domes on the Pacific coast, which are areas of high pressure that trap heat at the surface, ultimately caused by a La Nina, which doesn't stop the IPCC propaganda machine from citing nonexistent CO2-caused global warming as a possible cause.

Only I teach real climate science based on true physics unhijacked by the IPCC. If you aren't one of my students you're falling sadly behind.

The only thing that is being trapped at an alarming new rate is taxpayer bucks.
NASA won’t quit pushing its CO2 global warming hoax as long as the big bucks are rolling into its IPCC mother octopus. They literally think that the public has the word “dumbass” stamped on their foreheads because their theories can’t stand up to even the scrutiny of a 5th grader, but the sheep just keep munching the grass while being clipped. But is it their fault or ours that we’re not seizing the opportunity to wake the public up, despite shadow-banning? Where’s the big bucks from big oil to spread the news that the emperor has no clothes?
Here’s my try on Quora, which hasn’t even reached 100 views yet:
It's too bad the current brouhaha about CO2 is so narrowly focused. So what if a higher concentration in the atmosphere raises global average temps? If higher temps were accompanied by increased atmospheric moisture, it would even out around the world and turn it into a paradise planet, greening the deserts so that the teeming billions could be fed. Cold temperatures are inimical to life, not a goal of life.
Too bad, it might take a lot more CO2 than you think to really change the global weather, but not because it has any control over Earth's surface temperatures. In fact atmospheric CO2 can't melt an ice cube with its 15 micron main radiation wavelength that has a Planck radiation temperature of -80C, colder than dry ice (-78.5C).
Why do they call CO2 greenhouse gas? Because plants breathe it, and they pump it into greenhouses to help them grow and thrive. Polar regions and deserts look good in postcards, but who wants to live there. Meanwhile global pop. is zooming, so obviously the real answer is to pump more CO2 and water vapor into the atmosphere to turn the Earth into a greenhouse, turning deserts both hot and cold into lush green crop-growing regions like 35 million years ago when the avg. global temp was 88F and the CO2 level was 1K parts per million (vs. 415 PPM today). So what if we lose some desert polar regions and even some yummy coastline, the adjustments will be inconvenient but temporary, but I prefer shirt-sleeve weather to Frosty the Snowman. How many arctic animals can't adapt to a warmer climate? What animal needs to live in ice and snow and wouldn't like a vacation to Tahiti? They can lose the fat, hair or feathers.
The real question is can we make and keep the global CO2/H20 levels high enough, and for how long? Sooner or later mass global starvation will become unstoppable if world pop. keeps climbing, and this is the way to forestall it, if we act soon enough. Don't give me them Malthusian objections, give me some CO2/H20 solutions. I like a paradise Earth in the possibility window.
So, while the world is debating the horrors, extent or lack thereof of global warming caused by CO2, let's engineer the CO2/H20 solution to making the Earth a warm temperate planet from pole to pole with no deserts or ice wastelands, allowing vastly more food to be grown and turning poor nations rich. I DON'T mean a planet with wild swings between super-hot summers and super-cold winters, but one that is warmer than now everywhere, but moister and greener, with a giant network of plant life helping to avoid extremes. Since CO2 and water vapor are the keys, and the paltry amounts in the atmosphere need to be increased as soon as possible to turn deserts green and get the warming process off to a good start, but the new levels have to be maintained permanently, I'm looking to remote Antarctica (which is really a sea) as the most promising source for unlimited CO2 and water vapor generation, given that noxious emissions (sulfur dioxide, etc.) can be controlled.
This blog is for posting news on the world climate situation, scientific and political, along with my own articles. I'm sure it will start out with hardly any interest or followers, but I'm hoping that it will attract the smartest people eventually and in the end I hope for a global consensus that if it can be done it must be done.
So what is the Antarctic Volcanoes Project? My working idea is that an international effort to reactivate as many volcanoes in Antarctica as possible in an ideal location for distributing the CO2/H20 will produce the best and most cost-effective results. Sorry, one-worlders, it won't give you a license to override and control any country's economy, but if your country is suffering from lack of food you will be too busy expanding farming to care. Hence until I think of or hear about a better way to increase world CO2/H20 levels, this is my pet project. If you are a scientist, please climb aboard my AVP Express and let's make it happen.
It Would Be Funny If It Were's So Sad
It would be funny it weren't so sad, but when the scientists say "greenhouse gas" they are using a malaprop. It should be greenhouse GLASS, because that's why a greenhouse stays warm, by glass walls stopping convection of air and trapping heat. Yes, CO2 is pumped into greenhouses, but not for heating purposes, only to help plants BREATHE. So the whole sucker's game of "greenhouse gas" must truly be for the purpose of stopping more vegetation from growing and feeding the teeming billions. Is that their true goal? Another blip on the horizon is the promise of melting permafrost releasing gigantic amounts of CO2 from the Arctic not Antarctic sector. Let's hope we at least get some more good CO2 that way.

[[With frequent but small, ephemeral exceptions, the radiant heat that a planet emits to outer space equals the heat absorbed from the sun. Indeed, this is true for Earth within 0.3 percent. For Earth, the incoming/outgoing heat rate amounts to about 240 W/m, averaged over the surface.]]
[[The surface of the planet emits IR according to the Stefan-Boltzmann radiation law. The surface of Earth at 288 K emits 390 W/m2, some 150 W/m2 more than the earth emits to space. That 150 W/m2 of heat retention is the cause of the 33 ºC temperature rise over the non-GHG Earth with the same albedo]]
Zonk! Contradictory!
There are so many things wrong with this sick IPCC thinking designed to shut people up who don’t want to submit to their false fear-driven protection racket
For starters, it pretends that there is no such thng as entropy, which disperses energy into the Heat Death of the Universe, making it unavailable for heating or doing work forever. Every Planck radiator is a maximum entropy generator, increasing entropy by a factor proportional to T^3 while emitting energy proportional to T^4, meaning a great loss of energy is needed to turn it into heat inside a material based on its heat capacity before turning it back to energy at a far lower energy point (longer peak power wavelength). The T^4 power equation is turned upside-down by the IPCC, which ludicrously displays up and down T^4 arrows in the sky, as if energy and entropy magically disappeared.No wonder they draw a downward T^4 arrow representing CO2, claiming it raises surface temps, when its energy comes either from the surface in the first place and automatically has less energy and can raise the temperature way less, or from some magical cloud that because of the lapse rate is at a frigid temp that they ignore, as if any gas emits Planck radiation instead of solids and liquids (coalesced matter) like the surface of the Sun and Earth.
Also air convection increases entropy each time it trades heat for work to expand against decreasing pressure. The Earth lapse rate of 6.4K/km gives a total temperature drop of 80C by 14km altitude, not 33C. The increase in temperature caused by the increase of pressure in a fixed volume gives that, and surface convection merely climbs up and down its ladder dissipating energy via entropy.

Meanwhile water evaporation removes large amounts of surface heat and after reaching frigid heights falls back down as precipitation, cooling the surface more than the Sun heated it after blocking yet more solar energy from reaching and heating the surface. So the IPCC claim of some kind of Earth-Sun energy balance is a laugh.
So in short, all climate is caused by the solar energy that reaches the surface and drives the temperature in the first place. The surface temperature profile over time is the climate. The atmosphere is a giant chimney that just cools it, not a greenhouse that warms it. When doesn’t it finish cooling it overnight, ready for the next sunrise?
The whole IPCC perversion of climate science needs to be sunk on a barge in the deepest part of the ocean and refounded sans any role for CO2.
