Since we know that the earth's surface is significantly
warmed by geothermal heat, that geothermal heat is variable, that truly titanic forces are at work in the earth's core changing its structure and alignment, and that geothermal heat flux has a much greater influence on surface temperatures than variations in carbon dioxide can possibly have, it makes sense to include its
effects in a compendium
of global warming discussion parameters.
The
warming effect of CO2 on climate is physically well - understood, and the sensitivity

of greenhouse gases (climate sensitivity), the impact on hurricanes, the particular
effects in particular places (what
