This discussion about greenhouse gases and global warming would appear to depend on faulty assumptions.
The basic source of heat on Earth is Solar radiation, and any upset of the Atmosphere and Stratosphere which results in an extended cloud cover will result in a reduction of Solar Radiation reaching Earth, and a consequent temperature REDUCTION, which is not what the Tree-huggers et al preach.
One only need study what happens in a desert with clear skies, where unimpeded solar radiation in daylight raises the temperatures to very high levels, whereas at night the reverse is true with the net outflow of long-wave radiation causing night time temperatures to plummet.
During World War II, Allied POW’s incarcerated in German POW Camps spent as much time as possible sun bathing to compensate for the reduced vitamin intake of the prison diets.
With the advent of the Allied daylight bombing offensive, huge flotillas of B-17 and B-24 aircraft of the USAAF caused massive contrails to form, and which rapidly spread to become a high overcast spreading from horizon to horizon.
The results were a marked drop in air temperature, and disgruntled prisoners, who missed out on sun bathing and were forced to don more clothing.
