In addition, ozone depletion higher up in the stratosphere has caused a cooling high up in the atmosphere. It’s important to keep in mind that natural variations will continue in the future, and some locations may even experience a brief cooling period from time to time. This is likely an effect of man-made climate change.

For some parts of the spectrum, the IR can be either absorbed by CO 2 or by water vapour or by clouds, but taking those overlaps into account we find that 50% of the greenhouse effect is from water vapour, 25% from clouds, and about 20% from CO 2 and the rest absorbed by ozone, aerosols, and other trace gases ( Schmidt et al, 2010 ).
