"Scaleability and linearity doing that are in no way given. " No, they aren't a given. But it is a stretch to say it won't apply at all. "Believe the CH4 content of Titan's atmosphere is slightly higher than the CO2 - or CH4 - contents of ours." So? Those were just some examples where it is difficult to come up with some other explanation. Here is another, closer to home. Based on our Moon's temperature, the Earth is warmer than you would expect. Not as dramatically as Titan, but warmer. I suppose you could hypothesize some other and as of yet unknown mechanism for that, but you'd be running afoul of Occam's. Because distance from Sun + albedo + greenhouse effect accounts for the temperature just fine. Now you want to claim that there is some mysterious other mechanism that replaces the greenhouse effect, or that the greenhouse effect only works up to a certain point then stops working. Possibly you have some other explanation for it, but that seems to be the choices to me.
