Thank you, the assumption of AGW is something that can be quantified and measured. Actual solar radiation on all the spectrum and its actual penetration to the earth surface I am not sure. What is clear is that the less emissions the less pollution and the freer escape of heat back to the universe. Please keep in mind that the earth itself emits heat I think something like 45 to 47 TW (terrawatt) compared to 173,000 TW of incoming solar radiation The amount of heat a surface radiates is proportional to the fourth power of its temperature. If temperature doubles, radiated energy increases by a factor of 16 The atmosphere absorbs 23 percent of incoming sunlight while the surface absorbs 48. The atmosphere radiates heat equivalent to 59 percent of incoming sunlight; the surface radiates only 12 percent. In other words, most solar heating happens at the surface, while most radiative cooling happens in the atmosphere. From this paragraph it is clear that solar irradiation is a major factor and I have no idea how science accounts for it. a good reflection of balances is in this schematics. What is clear is that small amounts of reflected heat have major impact on the earth temperature, Some more mathematical calculation will balance out what swings in % of solar irradiation are equal to 1% of reflected irradiation heat.

One of the primary ways to assess truth value, is to discern which school of physics underlies the data. If the physics is derived from classical schools, its probably wrong and is most likely the source for politically motivated arguments to enable one fleece or another. Weather is extreme complex phenomena, the classical arguments rely on simple correlations easily extrapolated into truisms for sale to the dumb or dumber matrix.
