It may seem surprising to people, but you can look at something like Mars, which has a very thin atmosphere, and you can look at something like Venus which we tend to think of as sort of having this rather heavy, clouded atmosphere, which [is] hellishly warm because of runaway
greenhouse effect, and on both of those planets you are
seeing this phenomenon of the atmosphere leaking away, is actually what directly has led to those very different outcomes for those planets; the specifics of what happened as the atmosphere started to go in each case [made] all the difference.

So, if you have two identical glass
greenhouses with thermally isolated mercury thermometers at equilibrium in the sunlight [One with Air at Press =P, and the 2nd w / CO2 at Press =P], and you close the blinds — you will
see the thermometer in the CO2
greenhouse retain its temperature longer — not because of any «global warming» type
effect, but simply because Air conducts heat to the walls of the
greenhouse better than Air does.

It is a sweeping and valuable cross-disciplinary description of ways in which climate and ocean dynamics, pushed by the planet's human - amplified
greenhouse effect, could accelerate sea level rise far beyond the range

greenhouse effects (despite its frequent appearance in discussions)--
see here for more discussion.
I even
saw mention of experiments where humidity determined the size at which dust clustered — and how this further affects what is called the «imaginary index of refraction» at different wavelengths — which no doubt plays an important role in determining the associated albedo and
greenhouse effect.
Even if the legislation took
effect and emissions were curtailed, the world would still

John Carter August 8, 2014 at 12:58 am chooses to state his position on the
greenhouse effect in the following 134 word sentence: «But given the [1] basics of the
greenhouse effect, the fact that with just a very small percentage of
greenhouse gas molecules in the air this
effect keeps the earth about 55 - 60 degrees warmer than it would otherwise be, and the fact that through easily recognizable if [2] inadvertent growing patterns we have at this point probably at least [3] doubled the total collective amount in heat absorption and re-radiation capacity of long lived atmospheric
greenhouse gases (nearly doubling total that of the [4] leading one, carbon dioxide, in the modern era), to [5] levels not collectively
seen on earth in several million years — levels that well predated the present ice age and extensive earth surface ice conditions — it goes [6] against basic physics and basic geologic science to not be «predisposed» to the idea that this would ultimately impact climate.»

What is more, I think that what we know about the
greenhouse effect and what we have
seen of the warming, ice melt, increased drought, increased inpulsive precipitation etc. is sufficient to establish a credible threat.
«We
see, for the first time in the field, the amplification of the
greenhouse effect because there's more CO2 in the atmosphere to absorb what the Earth emits in response to incoming solar radiation,» Daniel Feldman, a scientist in the Berkeley Lab and the study's lead author, said in a news release.
As such there is little point in SCIENCE to be made by quoting any reference to «
greenhouse effects» (IPCC included) If you notice the plot of atmospheric absorbance within the link (*): - http://www.ucimc.org/newswire/display/113579/index.php#comments -: you will
see that the supposed «
greenhouse radiation» is not even
seen being surface incident.
In fact, as I have been pointing out, when the Water Cycle is put back into the AGWScienceFiction's

Greenhouse Effect Energy Budget, then the «33 °C warming from -18 °C by

seen to be an illusion.
Here's a hint: begins with a G. 3) So after all that blabing about moon, mercury and venus it is still hard to
see how the obscure part of Venus (which is not recieving any direct radiation from the Sun) is still over 400 Celcius when on a plante much closer to the same sun temperatures plunge to a a hundred negative... since the
Greenhouse effect does not exist it must be MAGIC, pardon me, SCIENCE.
So, as this Infrared Region Energy is NOT
seen presently surface incident in sufficient intensity nor has any alteration in such sufficient (within the last 50 years) either been noticed, and the present Bio-form of Humanity is now
seen as being the «NOW» of a 7 Million year «long» progression (and precluding from existence a supposed «
greenhouse effect») it is required «anonymous» that to «you» should be attempting to state HOW a «
greenhouse effect» can be even rationally expected to EXIST, rather than continuing to attack individuals.

greenhouse effect because, you
see, visible light from the sun easily penetrates to a depth of about 30 meters to warm the water.
In other words, what we are
seeing is probably natural variability in this circulation against a warming background ocean state forced by the increased
