VVL allows you to keep the air pressure in the intake manifold, at

Thus, if the absorption
of the infrared emission from
atmospheric greenhouse gases reduces the gradient through the skin layer, the
flow of heat from the ocean beneath will be reduced, leaving more

The
atmospheric flow will also have an influence, as strong vertical wind shear can inhibit cyclogenesis (spawning
of cyclones).
