The greenhouse effect is a natural process that warms the Earth's surface by trapping the Sun's heat in the atmosphere. Without the greenhouse effect, the Earth's average surface temperature would be about -18°C (-0.4°F), but the greenhouse effect raises it to about 15°C (59°F) on average. This process allows life on Earth to exist.Greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, ozone, and some artificial chemicals, absorb and re-radiate some of the Sun's energy that reaches the Earth's atmosphere. This energy warms the atmosphere and the surface of the Earth. The amount of heat radiated from the atmosphere to the surface is sometimes called “back radiation” and is equivalent to 100% of the incoming solar energy. However, human activities, such as burning fossil fuels, have disrupted the Earth's energy balance by releasing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. According to the IPCC's 2007 report, Earth's average surface temperatures have risen about 0.74°C (1.33°F) during the past 100 years, and most of that increase is likely due to human activities.
Climate and Earth’s Energy Budget
Earth’s temperature depends on how much sunlight the land, oceans, and atmosphere absorb, and how much heat the planet radiates back to space. This fact sheet describes the net flow of energy through different parts of the Earth system, and explains how the planetary energy budget stays in balance.earthobservatory.nasa.gov

And what might you believe my agenda to be?
#32 is your post. Quoting yourself as a reference just doesn't work whizzo. EMH does it. Don't do what EMH does.
This was the post for which I called you an idiot. I'm afraid nothing has changed.
Why? Do you think I am failing to do something I have urged you or others here to do?
Surely you have seen me note "there is no such thing as a proof in the natural sciences". I have said that dozens of times here because people who really don't know even basic science are constantly demanding proof. Like you just did.
I'm afraid I don't know what you're talking about.
If EVERYONE did what those who are concerned about CO2 emissions do, the crisis would be in a much more manageable state. No matter what we do now, we still have 175 years of CO2 emissions to deal with.If everyone who thinks human caused CO2 is the major to sole cause of global warming "crisis" were to do their part and stop emitting CO2, the "crisis" would go away.
The Moon has no atmosphere, receives the same amount of Sunlight as Earth and has a sunside surface temperature of 250FIf the Earth had no atmosphere, the planet's average temperature would be 58F (32C) cooler. Adding back just the oxygen and nitrogen would have almost NO effect on the temperature. That 58F of warming is due almost ENTIRELY to the greenhouse effect acting on two components of our atmosphere. About two-thirds is due to water vapor and one-third to carbon dioxide (CO2). The other components having greenhouse effects are methane, nitrous oxide, chloro- and hydrofluorocarbons.
The Earth began warming with the advent of the Industrial Revolution when the use of steam engines and then internal combustion engines grew rapidly, all fueled with hydrocarbon fossil fuels. The Earth is now warming at a historically extreme rate; twenty five times as rapidly as the Earth moved from glacial to interglacial states over the last 3 million years. That warming has been studied extensively for decades by scientists all over the planet. Their near-universal conclusion is that the primary cause of that warming is the greenhouse effect acting on CO2 emitted by humans burning fossil fuels (coal, petroleum, natural gas) for energy and transportation.
Up until the invention of the steam engine, CO2 in our atmosphere stayed in the range of 280 - 300 ppm for almost 3 million years. It is now just breaching 420 ppm, a 50% increase in the gas responsible for one-third of all greenhouse warming. That warming is reinforced by positive feedback from increased humidity in the Earth's atmosphere; water vapor is the most effective greenhouse gas but as a precipitable component of the atmosphere, changes only in response to temperature changes brought about by other agents. Atmospheric CO2 levels are also increased by deforestation and the thawing of frozen tundra.
The warming has numerous effects, many of which are harmful. Aside from its impact on all life forms via more frequent and more intense heat waves, we are experiencing sea level rise and increased ice melt. The energy that drives weather comes from the sun via the atmosphere and the hydrosphere. As global warming increases the energy available for weather, the average intensity of weather will increase. Increased temperatures are causing glaciers and snowpack to disappear. That decreases the Earth's albedo, decreasing the amount of solar radiation reflected back to space and providing more positive feedback. Increased meltwater from the poles is reducing the density of water there and thus the drive for the overturning currents responsible for the basis of almost the entire marine food chain as well as the temperate climate of Europe
Currently, thirty percent of human CO2 emissions are absorbed by the world's oceans. CO2 in aqueous solution produces carbonic acid which reduces the oceans pH (makes it more acidic). That change affects numerous biochemical reactions utilized by marine life, in particular the ability to fix carbonates into shells, exoskeletons and corals. The loss of corals will expose thousands of miles of coastlines to higher wave energies causing increased erosion and coastal flooding.
So, while some argue that added CO2 will increase agricultural production in some locales and that warming will be welcome by some residents in high latitude settings, the balance of warming effects are and will continue to be overwhelmingly negative.

Did you actually read the entire article?The practice of ACTUAL SCIENCE
starts with a THEORY....
The THEORY is that increasing atmospheric Co2 warms the atmosphere....
and then is TESTED with DATA...
We have two and only two measures of atmospheric temperature - satellites and balloons...
What did the ACTUAL DATA say....?
Key claim against global warming evaporates
Satellite and weather balloon data used to argue that climate models were wrong and that global warming isn't really happening turns out to be based on faulty analyses, according to three new studies.
", satellite and weather balloon data have actually suggested the opposite, that the atmosphere was cooling."
For more than 3 decades of rising Co2, satellites and ballloons showed NO WARMING in the ATMOSPHERE in highly correlated fashion....
THEORY REJECTED
What actually happened?
the atmospheric temp data was FUDGED instead....
Why do you wonder that?
I do. I also feel free to urge you to act.
