True dat; I see what you are saying. I'll elaborate a little more just to share. The average temperature of Earth doesn't even emit radiation in the absorption band of CO2. The only place where infrared radiation emitted is within the absorption band of CO2 is in the polar regions & sea ice (~12-17 micrometers). Has there been any correlation of sea-ice and CO2? Nope. How about Arctic/Antarctic temperatures and CO2? Nope.

Otherwise, CO2 is just there...invisible and odorless. Water vapor rules the roost, which is related to ocean circulation patterns.



Regarding the butterfly effect in models. Initial warming is easily offset by cloud formation. To have a programmed runaway greenhouse effect, the models must inhibit convection. This is done by creating an upper-tropospheric "hot spot" in the tropics. This "hot spot" ensures less convection and less formation of clouds. Again, 100% of the climate models create a "hot spot", because this is the only way to have a runaway greenhouse effect. A "hot spot" has never been observed.
