\subsection{The conclusion of the US Department of Energy}
%
All fictitious greenhouse effects have in common, 
that there is supposed to be one and only one
cause for them: 
An eventual rise in the concentration of ${\rm CO}_2$ 
in the atmosphere is supposed to lead 
to higher air temperatures near the ground.
For convenience,
in the context of this paper it is called 
\textit{the $\textit{CO}_2$-greenhouse effect}.%

          other trace gases.}

It should be emphasized:
%
\begin{itemize}
\item 
The warming phenomenon in a glass house and 
the supposed atmospheric greenhouse effects 
have the same participants,
but in the latter case the situation is reversed.
\item  
Methodically, there is a huge difference: 
For the physical greenhouse effect 
one can make measurements, look 
at the differences of the instruments readings
and observe the effect without any scientific 
explanation and such without any prejudice.
\end{itemize}
% 
For the fictitious atmospheric greenhouse 
effect one cannot watch anything, 
and only calculations are compared 
with one another: 
Formerly extremely simple calculations, 
they got more and more intransparent.
Nowadays computer simulations are used, 
which virtually nobody can reproduce\TschSpace%

In the following the different
aspects of the physics 
underlying the atmospheric situation
are discussed in detail.
