[Coal Tattoo] So then, this is why the rate of warming (when warming occurs) at the water vapour canopy is actually slightly lower than the rate of warming at the earth’s surface: it is because the water vapour is always and only ever the RESULT of temperature, never the cause of it, and being further from the earth where the albedo effect actually converts short-wave radiation into long-wave (heat) radiation, it necessarily loses the heat energy which brought it into being at a faster rate than does the earth’s surface (where the heat is being created).

[Sustainablog] Top Global Warming Causes - Natural or Human? : Sustainablog: Water vapor: You may have heard the claim that water vapor's the most prevelant greenhouse gas, and therefore is the main cause of global warming (not CO2). This is half true.

[JoNova] The Wong-Fielding Meeting On Global Warming | JoNova: According to his summary of his field of science posted on website: About half of the global warming over the past century can be accounted for by changes in the sun and the solar wind, and there are well documented correlations of climate during past millennia with cosmic ray flux changes. These can be understood in terms of electrical interactions between cloud droplets and aerosol particles responding to solar wind-induced changes in atmospheric ionization and in the latitude distribution of Jz,

[Environment » Eoin] A primer on the science of global warming | csmonitor.com: For my part, I thought I’d review the basics of global warming science - how and why carbon dioxide molecules absorb heat. Thankfully, it has nothing to do with whether you drive an SUV or a hybrid, whom you vote for, or even whether you think global warming is nonsense.

[Global Warming] AccuWeather.com: Global Warming News, Science, Myths, Articles: The whole concept of GW simply states that something, most likely heavy carbon emissions, have caused a greenhouse effect, causing the temperature around the polar caps to heat up, raising the tide and causing a shift in temperature. For this to make sense, there would be global cooling as well, this is understood as part of the theory.

The group, which lobbies for affordable housing and improved education in urban areas, is also encouraged by the hope of "green jobs," environmentally sustainable employment opportunities.

The Chinese may have been playing the West for suckers by redirecting warm air currents, trying to hobble our own economies by forcing us to take draconian steps in dealing with a phenomenon that has been a hoax all along, giving them time to catch up to the West in economic development.”

This means if the temperature rises by 6 degrees in the next 100 years and CO2 doubles to 6% of the total greenhouse gases it will be responsible for approximately 2/100ths of a degree or .

Scientists and policymakers are concerned that melting ice will expose land, decreasing the amount of sunlight reflected back into space and increasing the amount absorbed by the Earth and trapped in the atmosphere as heat.
