Thanks for this, however I am confused by the conflation of the GHG water vapor global heating effect and the CO2 increases. Aren't they separate but multiplicative? At any one moment there are 10 T tons of water vapor in the atmosphere, thus it is the greatest GHG effect. I had a tee-shirt made up with "Venus 2.0?". No-one here in Marietta, Ohio asked what it meant. Not exactly a curious lot here. Head for Vermont?
Drought or deluge, feast or famine, the new abnormal!
Who would have thought that a violent patriarchy would underestimate climate sensitivity?
I notice the "Cloud Feedback Loop" getting mentioned more often, that's linked to the lower emissions of aerosols from ship bunker fuels.
We're randomly changing the chemistry in what is effectively an uncontrolled experiment! What could go wrong!
I've added this analysis to my blog post titled "Full Earth System Sensitivity to CO2 has been Grossly Underestimated"

“What could go wrong!” Apparently, almost everything. The day Earth loses habitat for humans is approaching. I'm surprised it’s not yet behind us.
Thank you for appreciating, sharing, and adding to my work. You’re the consummate colleague.

They are separate. Whether they are multiplicative is unknown, but likely. I doubt Vermont, filled with Trump fans, is a better option.
