Temperature is a direct function of luminosity and greenhouse gas concentrations

the verdict
SUPPORTED
the evidence backs this
Recorded sources
6 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Multiple studies and well-established scientific consensus confirm that Earth's temperature is fundamentally driven by solar luminosity and atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations.

The analysis

The retrieved papers consistently support the premise that global temperature is a function of solar radiation/luminosity and greenhouse gas concentrations, alongside other factors like continental configuration and albedo. The evidence strongly supports the claim.
