Fossil fuels began as plant life on land and in the oceans. With time, dead plant and animal life with the help of chemical and physics "miracles" changed to coal, oil, and natural gas. The creation of the right amount of ocean water (area, depth and ratio of ocean area to land area) is another miracle of chemistry and physics. The role of infrared radiation, IR, interacting with man-made carbon dioxide supposedly causing a catastrophic global warming crisis is a hoax by evil people who want to harm humanity. Omitting accounting for all the thermal, kinetic, and electrical energy in the oceans and atmosphere, omitting accounting for the existence of the oceans, omitting accounting for the size of the oceans relative to land areas, and focusing exclusively on infrared radiation acting on carbon dioxide and water vapor misses the opportunity to explain weather and climate. These studies are simply global static average mathematical models that conservatively estimate the warming effects of IR on carbon dioxide and water vapor. It is conservative because the IR energy isn't available in the lower atmosphere to act on all the CO2 that is there. It has been converted to thermal, kinetic, and electrical energy (weather) which dump their energy as infrared radiation to the upper atmosphere, and space all over the planet.
