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.»

modern issue of global warming and its
effects on the pathways of
atmospheric chemistry, as well as global and regional temperatures, rainfall, sea level, Arctic sea - ice coverage, melting of the continental ice sheets, cyclonic storm frequency and intensity and ocean acidification.
