Global Warming Measurements Don't Account For 'Missing Heat'

@guinganbresil:
"As far as the test is concerned - a multidecadal cooling trend...

How about we look at the mechanism? How does CO2 CAUSE warming? By reducing heat loss to space? That only causes heating if it is the dominant factor in the change in OLR spectrum ..."

FALSE. Stop right there. CO₂ is known to have a lower *magnitude* of total effect than H₂O.

And yet CO₂ is known to be the *driver* of climate change, because (oversimplification warning, but this is the correct summary of the known, proven facts)
1) CO₂ is longer-lived in the atmosphere and
2) CO₂ increases the concentration of H₂O (whereas H₂O has no potential to affect the concentration of CO₂ because the condensation point of CO₂ is so much lower than equilibrium atmospheric temperature) as well as CH₄ and nitrous oxide both directly by industrial processes and indirectly by natural processes we're disrupting.
3) It is CO₂ which we are emitting more than any other greenhouse gas, whether one considers concentration or radiative forcing effect
