Recently, I posted a baseline analysis to illustrate the baseline problem that defines 33C as the greenhouse temperature increment; that analysis included a number of assumptions. Today, I’ll address a specific question that periodically appear at climate blogs. This question is:
Q: The simple based model assumes the earth is isothermal– that is everything has the [...]

How Large is the Greenhouse Increment? The baseline model.
The scope of this analysis is to illustrate how one determines the magnitude of the greenhouse increment of ΔT≅33 C often cited in discussions of the Greenhouse Effect (GHE). This is the difference between the average surface of the earth and an effective radiating temperature predicted by a very simple radiation balance. [...]
