If an atmospheric greenhouse effect existed for CO₂, it will be possible to measure the ‘back-radiation’. It will show up in both the thermal conductivity (λ) and isochoric thermal diffusivity (aᵥ) properties. Scientists will then be able to calculate it precisely using either or both these 2 physical properties of CO₂. But
Q: why do climate scientists not measure it that way; despite billions of dollars in funding lavished on them?
Q: Would attempting to measure it prove them wrong?

- λ :
- thermal conductivity, determines how much heat per time unit and temperature difference flows in a medium;
- aᵥ :
- isochoric thermal diffusivity, determines how rapidly a temperature change spreads, expressed as area per time unit
