Actually the atmosphere is a source of heat too, so it’s kind of like an electric blanket.

Actually very unlike a blanket, electric or otherwise. Blankets (and greenhouses) warm by suppressing convection, and barely by suppressing radiation. The atmospheric “blanket” does the precise opposite.

But anyway, There is plenty of research on how much CO2 adds to temp. WHy would you think this research doesn’t exist? I don’t know about Barret, but Hug completely ignores decades of research and obsevration of the real atmosphere and simply repeats an experiment from nearly 100 years ago, getting a very wrong answer.

There is plenty of evidence that in a bell jar in a laboratory, adding carbon dioxide should increase temperature all other things being equal. But in the real world, the rise of carbon dioxide does not precede temperature rise, but follows it by centuries. So a linear experiment with a near equilibrium scenario in a laboratory does not translate to a non-linear, very non-equilibrium scenario in the Earth’s atmosphere.

Sort of the body (through chemical reaction) can create heat the clothing just stops it from getting away too quickly. This is hand waving of course but it works as such what we really need is some good quantitative analysis of just how much increasing the CO2 slows down the heat bleed. The experiments of Heinz Hug and Jack Barrett are a tantalizing beginning in this direction.

If the warming was due to reduced particulates in the developed world, then there should be a corresponding cooling trend in industrializing countries, as this Indian study shows.

Unfortunately, the prevailing dogma of global climate change appears to preclude comparative climate studies.

I’m going to be late for work. The body in Australia at the moment would become hypothermic rather quickly without the blanket so in that sense the blanket ‘raises’ the temperature.

Only the Sun can add heat (temperature),
