These are mostly data rich papers, and do not provide new evidence
about green house gases.
Not exact matches
And with the Sun continuously expanding and contributions of
green house gases from volcanoes, African termites, cows and decaying trees / plants / insects / animals, there may not be anything we can do
about it even if there is an effect.
Electricity production (including from coal) is the leading cause of
green house gases right now, and the best estimate I can find
about cement production puts it at
about 5 % of the total man - made causes.
but, no great surprise the bush family and friends are all
about oil (that is a fossil fuel which produces
green house gasses).
While criticizing third world countries for producing more
green house gases it is more quiet
about it's own companies going into these nations to produce.

About climate change adaptation?
Clearly, further research into the carbon cycle will be essential to reduce the level of uncertainty
about the climate system's response to CO2 emissions.For further reading: R. T. Watson et al.: «
Green -
house gases and aero - sols» in Houghton et al., «Climate Change, the IPCC Scientific Assess - ment», Cambridge (1990).
The point of this is that to cool the Earth, hot air only needs to rise
about 2 km (an easy task) to get above most of the
green house gases - on Venus, it has to rise 55 km.
Now thats
about 1 % or less of what could be listed so to repeat your quite accurate assessment of the actual climate scientists and it was climate scientists who were being surveyed remember, who apparently believe that an impossible MORE THAN 100 % of global warming is due to human induced releases of atmospheric
green house gas [GHG] concentrations
about Coal - Packed Methane Biofilter for Mitigation of
Green House Gas Emissions from Coal Mine Ventilation Air
the divergence says nothing
about the risk accelerating as
green house gases emissions accelerate.
Have you made any posts
about choices that people can make individually that can reduce
green house gases?
If AGW is proved to be a problem and it is far from proven that it is, and if you guys were fair dinkum
about reducing
green house emissions, then Australia with hundreds of years of natural
gas reserves could easily convert nearly everything to run on that and cut GH emissions by 90 % with very little economic pain.
I think much of your post is valid and is a worthwhile contribution to the debate
about AGW but I see the the point
about the cold tropoause as a massively important key to our understanding of the action of
green house gases.
Nice, nuanced summary of the issues, and a great follow - on to the post
about potent
green house gases in the manufacture of (some) insulation.
Notice that the projects that save electric energy reduce
green house gas by
about 2 lbs of CO2 per 1 KWH of energy saved.
And, projects that save heating fuel reduce
green house gas by
about 0.5 lb per 1 KWH of energy saved.
Beginning (near the turn of the 20th century) with the theoretical studies of Svante Arrhenius
about how infrared absorbing
gases help determine the surface temperature of the earth; then spurred by the reexamination of those models in the 1950's, by Roger Revelle, and in the 1960's, by Jule Charney; and then James Hansen's modeling of the unique
green -
house -
gas (GHG) forcing of the very hot atmospheric temperature of Venus — climatologists and geophysicists began to vigorously reexamine such models in greater detail.
Actioning broader lifestyle issues, the Australian Conservation Foundation, with funding from the state government, have put hundreds of Sydneysiders through their GreenHome education program and figure that in past few years they've saved
about 116 Olympic sized swimming pools worth of water), reduced
green house gas emissions equivalent to taking 1370 cars off the road and avoided 510 kilolitres of waste.
It is evident that there is a deadlock
about how to slow down the global warming in terms of
Green House Gas emissions and international actions, as the Kyoto Protocol expires next year.
