New paper on the actual physics of the "GHGs", CO2, CH4, and NO2 determine that
any plausible increase in these gases will "In all cases be too small to
measure". - Dr. Patrick Moore
Ditto ... and this is why you will never see a report on how much "man-made"
CO2 warmed the earth last year, or any year, because it is so tiny that it is
not tangible. - John Shewchuck - Meteorologist

Abstract
The Global Warming Potentials (GWP) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change (IPCC) in Table 2.14 of the Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) show the
increase in warming by methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) is 21 and 310
times respectively that of CO2. There has been wide acceptance of these values
since publishing in 2007. Nevertheless, they are inaccurate. This study uses
accurate methods to calculate the impacts of CO2, CH4, and N2O on the warming
of the atmosphere. For example, this quantitative analysis from reliable
physics shows the contribution of CO2 to warming at Amsterdam is 0.0083oC out
of a difference of 26oC. The warming effect of CH4 on the Earth's atmosphere is
0.408% of that of CO2, and the warming by N2O is 0.085% of that of CO2. Thus,
the warming effects of CO2, CH4, and N2O are too small to measure. The
invalidity of the methane and nitrous oxide values indicates the GWPs of the
remaining approximately sixty chemicals in the Table 2.14 list are also
invalid. A recommendation is that the IPCC consider revising or retracting the
GWP values in Table 2.14.
