Global Warming and the Greenhouse Effect: Statements, Questions and Facts

Millions of different weather events happen in the sky at any moment and all of them change second by second. To propose that Earth's climate can be studied by a STATIC global average temperature, STATIC average sunlight and STATIC infrared radiation on a stretched out projeced flat surface of the SPHERICAL, ROTATING EARTH interacting only with water vapor, CO2 and similar molecules, ignoring classical physics and flows in the oceans and atmosphere, ignoring the vast quantity of water in the oceans, ignoring the work done in the oceans and atmosphere, ignoring the principle of least work followed by nature but not by people is a far stretch of the imagination. Some scientists use these tremendous simplifications to claim to be able to calculate Earth's "average" temperature change for a given change of GREENHOUSE GAS MOLECULES to a few degrees Centigrade. Is this science fiction rather than climate science? [John Shanahan]
