The CERES program is run for NASA by Norman Loeb. CERES stands for Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System. Scanning radiometers on the satellites have measured the earth’s energy flux since the millenium and the results run counter to even the NASA narrative.

The graphic below is annotated from Loeb (2021)

It can be seen that over the twenty year period ending in 2002, the increase in Absorbed Solar Radiation (ASR) caused about 3x more warming than CO2 and all other trace GHGs combined as “Other.”

CO2 does not directly affect clouds. Warming does, but we can see above that recent warming has been predominantly solar. The reason is a reduction in cloud cover that is not understood. Below from Dubal and Vahrenholt (2021)

If all this were not astonishing enough, another paper Lei et al (2021) showed that the increase in solar respiration from this predominantly solar warming produced more CO2 over this period than human combustion.

Using the factors established by Loeb and the supportable assumption that the warming from CO2 and from the other trace GHGs (combined in Loeb) is roughly equal, we can use simple apportionment to derive the relative contributions to warming over the period.

It should be noted that this twenty year period had the highest atmospheric CO2 concentrations in millions of years. Absorption and emission of radiation happen at the speed of light. If CO2 is not controlling warming now, what reason do we have for believing it ever did?
