    How could there be a greenhouse effect without the sun??

    At last, you are getting the picture. And given that during a period of rising CO2, the earth cooled due to the sun being blocked, which one would you say was primarially responsible for temperature change, the sun or CO2?

    Probably both. The sun "gives" the heat, and CO2 avoids its reflection from ground to space. From what you said, I don't understand the critics imply a variation of the quantity of heat coming from the Sun, but claim that the conditions of reflection vary.

        Your pomposity knows no bounds. You could, of course, have replied with a simple (for us dimwits) logical rebuttle which exposes the stupity of his argument. Strangely, for an awesome intellect such as yourself, you chose to insult instead. Maybe I should stop replying to your messages as the magnificence of my answers are clearly lost on your candle powered brain. But that would make me a bit of a twat - so I won't.

          You felt motivated enough to post this, yet couldnt come up with a rebuttal. Hmm, you are anoyed that I am right, and you cant deny it.

            But what is mostly responsible. The sun or CO2?

            I don't understand what you mean. The sun and CO2 play two different and non-mutually exclusive rolls. One acts as a heat source the other as a heat insulator. It's hard to say that either the source or the insulator is more important as they act in tandem. Obviously the sun plays an important role, but there are other factors which could have an influence. These include the total radiative energy transfer, the axial tilt of the earth, magnetic activity on the sun, how to properly determine just how much heat is escaping, reflection due to snow and ice.... Why do you think the debate is so involved? It's not so black and white.

            Ah, so you agree there is still debate. Good. So you disagree with the IPCC and the hysterical eco-fundamentalists when they say the debate is over, the proof is abcoloute, it is all due to man made CO2?

                How can 'probably both' be an answer to the question: 'Which one is primarially responsible' The answer has to be CO2 or the Sun.

                In this case, the sun is assumed to be constant, CO2 rising, but sulphates, by blocking some of the heat, cause the earth to cool. This means that the sulphates have more effect than CO2. And the media by which slphates act is the sun, so the sun is more effective than CO2. Which puts the IPCCs forcings for solar and CO2 comletely wrong, and probably backwards.

                  Sulphartes act through the media of the sun. More sulphates = less sunlight. And despite increasing CO2, the earth cooled. So solar radiation received at the earhts surface is more effective than CO2. If you dont see that then there is no helping you.

                      No, the answer can be both. Why is the temperature hotter in a greenhouse than outside of it? Because of the sun, and because of the glass walls.

                        That is very unlikely, that two influences have exactly the same degree of influence.

                        Sulphates themselves dont affect temperature, it is by bloxking the sun that they work. That is their media, the sun.
