What is a "paradox" ?
All 3 are potential paradoxes but :
So :
= outgoinglongwave / (37%=>39%) = (238W/m2=>240W/m2) / (37%=>39%)
= 643W/m2=>615W/m2
But :

=> Although we see, trough the increased blue sky open window, more outgoing longwave for cloudiness decline, the total 100% earth up radiation density is in -4% decline.
But :
Is this -2,93K T cooling the result of 65 year solar irradiation weakening with paradoxical temperature increase mis-measurement based on outgoing longwave increase instead of based on longwave earth up radiation decrease ?
The only thing we can say is that the start of satellite measurements correlates in time with the start of the trend reversal paradoxical (red curve) global warming for (yellow curve) solar weakening :
Weather satellites do not measure temperature directly. They measure radiances in various wavelength bands. Since 1978 microwave sounding units (MSUs) on National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration polar orbiting satellites have measured the intensity of upwelling microwave radiation from atmospheric oxygen, which is related to the temperature of broad vertical layers of the atmosphere. Measurements of infrared radiation pertaining to sea surface temperature have been collected since 1967.
Anyway
In climate science there are too many unanswered questions and too many unquestioned answers ...
But : Health & Climate & Energy are really very complicated and delicate politico-scientific stuff and also socio-economic stuff but we do the best we can and try to explain it as simple as possible but not simpler than that in the group :
