The Greenhouse Effect Does Exist!
Jochen Ebel

TL;DR
This paper affirms the existence of the greenhouse effect as essential for explaining atmospheric temperature profiles, critically analyzing prior claims and emphasizing its role in climate science.
Contribution
It provides a detailed explanation of the greenhouse effect's role in atmospheric temperature structure and critically examines previous controversial claims denying its existence.
Findings
Greenhouse effect is essential for temperature profile features.
Analysis of the relationship between greenhouse effect and observed temperature curves.
Critical review of prior claims denying the greenhouse effect.
Abstract
In particular, without the greenhouse effect, essential features of the atmospheric temperature profile as a function of height cannot be described, i.e., the existence of the tropopause above which we see an almost isothermal temperature curve, whereas beneath it the temperature curve is nearly adiabatic. The relationship between the greenhouse effect and observed temperature curve is explained and the paper by Gerlich and Tscheuschner [arXiv:0707.1161] critically analyzed. Gerlich and Tscheuschner called for this discussion in their paper.
