The role of long-lived greenhouse gases as principal LW control knob that governs the global surface temperature for past and future climate change

The climate system of the Earth is endowed with a moderately strong greenhouse effect that is characterised by non-condensing greenhouse gases (GHGs) that provide the core radiative forcing. Of these, the most important is atmospheric CO2. There is a strong feedback contribution to the greenhouse ef...
