   I think I understand the Greenhouse Gas theory explanation for anthropogenic global warming, but does this theory apply also to the Earth's surface temperature being raised by 33 degrees?

   Eddieb @1 , 

   the so-called Greenhouse Effect (for all relevant gasses, including H2O) ties in with the 33 degrees . . . and, well, with everything really.  It is all one.

   It might be helpful, if you could explain in more detail how you see any difficulties / differences.

   But best to pursue your discussion on one of the appropriate threads for such a topic.  Such as on Climate Myth number #65 or maybe #36.

   eddieb @1,

   There is a paper that models what would happen if all the long-lived GHGs were suddenly taken from the atmosphere - Lacis et al (2010) shows the surface temperature dropping fron +14ºC to -21ºC in 50 years. It hadn't stopped reacting by that time so the eventual temperature would be lower still.

   While this is no more than facinating stuff and the eventual global temperature would rely not on GHGs but on things like how shiny the frozen oceans turn out to be (although through the eons the water would probably be transported poleward so 'frozen oceans' would be a poor description), it does demonstrate that the current GHG effect is +33ºC or there abouts.

   Thank you MA Rodger and Eclectic for your help.

   As suggested, I am transferring to Climate Myth #65
