Works in theory! Practice? That's something else
Well Bob, I know you're just going to say this all bunk and I'm only finding what I want to find. But...
That is they haven't discovered anything new, they're just justifying their argument with a nonsense computer model.
So, who are the authors:
Oh, turns out they're famous for falsehoods too (ref):

When a model shows unexpected results that don't match measured values, the model is most likely wrong as opposed to observed values.Interesting alternative theory.
...The new model displays characteristics of an emergent macro-level thermodynamic relationship heretofore unbeknown to science ...
That is they haven't discovered anything new, they're just justifying their argument with a nonsense computer model.
So, who are the authors:
- Ned Niolov is a physical scientist with the USDA Forest Service. So, not a climate scientist or a physicist.
- Karl Zeller is a retired USDA Forest Service scientist and was at least a weather forecaster for a part of his career.
Oh, turns out they're famous for falsehoods too (ref):
Zeller and his colleague Ned Nikolov, who used to work together at the forest service, were the subject of controversy when they were caught publishing a paper under pseudonyms Den Volokin and Lark ReLlez (their names spelled backwards) multiple times from 2014 to 2016. In their research, they propose an alternate theory to the generally accepted greenhouse effect and suggest that greenhouse gas emissions are not contributing to global warming. [3]
At least it proves deniers can get their work published no matter how stupid it is.Nikolov and Zeller suggest that atmospheric pressure is the cause for warming, counter to the accepted science of the greenhouse effect. Professional climate scientist Scott Denning described their theory as “too simple” and said it ignores elements of thermodynamics. However, the two argue that their papers were unfairly rejected not due to the science, but because of their association with the climate change denial blog network. [4] Another climate scientist, Professor Steve Sherwood, described one paper published in a “sham journal” by Nikolov and Zeller as “laughable.”
We can also tell this is nonsense because solar energy input has been fairly steady for a long time. From the "200 myths" see "It's the sun", or from NOAA you can see a lot of warming over the last 60 years, but solar input only varying seasonally by a watt:...Earth’s surface warming appears to be a product of the air temperature set by solar heating and atmospheric pressure....
