Of course, the
extra heat trapped by
human greenhouse gas emissions is likely to play a bigger role than raindrop friction in any atmospheric changes.
There are also concerns that oceans, which currently absorb more than 90 percent of the
extra heat being trapped by
human greenhouse gas emissions, could eventually release some of that back to the surface, speeding up the surface temperature rise.
The simple fact is that
humans put some
extra greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere and that is causing us to warm outside of the natural climate path.
Lynn, there is no doubt that CO2 is a
greenhouse gas and the
extra addition by
humans will give an
extra warming.
The consensus among climate scientists is that this temperature increase has been driven primarily by the
extra greenhouse gases humans have put into the atmosphere since the Industrial Revolution.
The oceans are currently warming because of the
extra greenhouse gases that
human industrial activity has added to the atmosphere.
The rise in
greenhouse gases corresponds with the
extra amount of CO2 known to have been emitted by
human activities, such as burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests.
Emissions would then have to keep falling until
humans were hardly emitting any
extra greenhouse gases by the end of the century.
That downwelling happens constantly even at night and worldwide and it has been theorised by global warming proponents that
extra downwelling infrared from more
greenhouse gases is at the heart of the proposed climate effect from
human sources of CO2.
The storm would likely not have been as big and powerful as it was, nor would it have likely struck land where it did were it not for the
extra greenhouse gasses released by
humans over the last century and a half or so.
