Why It's Not Carbon Dioxide

 Why It's Not Carbon Dioxide:
"...Many climate blogs promote the views of the owner as to whether or not, or by how much carbon dioxide might affect Earth's surface temperature.
But this compelling evidence proves it has no effect.
In the book Why It's Not Carbon Dioxide After All and my paper I explain the real physics of climate based on the Second Law of Thermodynamics and the associated state of thermodynamic equilibrium which that law says will evolve.
The overall level of Earth's surface temperatures is set by solar radiation and also cosmic ray levels, as these can affect cloud formation. 
There are natural long and short term cycles which are clearly evident in the climate records.
There is a very interesting strong correlation between the climate cycles and the 934-year and superimposed 60-year cycles in the above plot which is derived from planetary orbits.
For those who are interested it is the inverted plot of the scalar sum of the angular momentum of the Sun and all the planets. 
Magnetic fields from the planets may affect solar activity and cosmic rays.
...But to maintain a certain temperature there must be an input of thermal energy (usually called "heat") which balances the natural heat losses.
James Hansen incorrectly assumed that radiation from the colder atmosphere could transfer the extra thermal energy into the surface.
But radiation mostly transfers thermal energy out of the warmer surface, not into it.  
The actual process involves energy being transferred during molecular collisions, as with conduction.  ​
You are familiar with this diffusion process which can be observed if your car is left in the Sun and then driven into your garage. 
Close the garage door and open the car doors and gradually you will feel the temperature of the air in the garage warming and that of the air in the car cooling..."
