Weather and the long term average called climate are determined by many factors, not just sunlight arriving, infrared radiation leaving the planet and greenhouse gases. All the events associated with weather play a role. Variations in the orbit and movements of the axis play a role. The three phases of water (ice, liquid, vapor) and clouds play a significant role. Macro , regional, local, and meso meteorology play a role. Earth's core energy that reaches the surface plays a role. Man-made climate change alarmists of all stripes ignore these facts and insist that carbon dioxide from use of fossil fuels is the control knob for climate change and demand that the world stop using fossil fuels for energy and 6,000 essential by-products.
