Chapter 1 - Introduction and Summary: A plain-language overview of climate terminology, public narratives, and the three greenhouse-effect models examined throughout the book.
Chapter 2 - An introduction to the Greenhouse effect: A concise explanation of how the greenhouse effect works, describing photon absorption, atmospheric structure, and the physical basis for model development.
Chapter 3 - The IPCC Model – Summarised: Construction and Outcomes: A summary of how the IPCC Model embeds anthropogenic warming into its structure and why its projections fail to match observational data.
Chapter 4 - The TRANS Model – Summarised: Construction and Outcomes: An outline of a model that separates natural variability from greenhouse-gas contributions, offering a more flexible but still imperfect match to observations.
Chapter 5 - The CARDINAL Model – Summarised Construction and Outcomes: A description of the empirically optimised Cardinal Model, which matches the observed greenhouse-effect record with high accuracy.
Chapter 6 - Validity of the Models and their Projections: A comparison of model performance, assessing how well each matches real data and what can realistically be projected about future climate trends.
