Talk:Greenhouse effect

Can I make the edit about real greenhouses? Weirdbeard 12:24, 2 August 2008 (EDT)


 * Yeh, OK, if you really must 82.45.165.45 12:25, 2 August 2008 (EDT)


 * OK, now that I've logged back in I'll go do just that Weirdbeard 12:26, 2 August 2008 (EDT)


 * Since you're really me that's just fine. But you'd better log back in again first ... 82.45.165.45 12:27, 2 August 2008 (EDT)


 * Right here, I am then. Why the hell am I talking to myself? Weirdbeard 12:28, 2 August 2008 (EDT)

In other news

 * You're in for a nasty surprise. I'm going to stop teasing you now, though... ^_^ 12:29, 2 August 2008 (EDT)


 * I enjoy talking to myself though. I'm usually the only one who knows what I'm talking about :-) Heavens, I have to go to the BBQ Weirdbeard 12:31, 2 August 2008 (EDT)

 * Looks better. Not sure about "the Earth is heated by two sources" bit because there's also a small (nigglingly negligible) quantity of geothermal energy, and then heat retention and redistribution by the hydrosphere... just seems like it's liable to be more confusing than the "blanket" analogies.

 * Geothermal is negligible (though it might be worth stating that explicitly). The hydrosphere isn't a source (well, you know that, I'm just expanding) it is just part of the "more complex than that" bit; the article doesn't cover seasonal or diurnal or geographical variation either William M.

 * Well, in that respect the greenhouse effect isn't so much a source either as much as it's a mechanism for shifting equilibrium. There might be a better way of wording it somewhere. ADK ...I'll bless your respiratory system! 21:54, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
