>From above: "but I think an increase in the solar output has
occurred as well." Actually I believe that solar output is actually
decreasing plus the albito of the earth is increasing because of increase of
particulates in the atmosphere. Both of these things tend to cool the earth.
However, the fact the earth is warming, glaciers are melting, permafrost is
dissapearing, and the oceans are warming illustrates the power of the
greenhouse effect in overwhelming any cooling trends, at least for now. CO2
and methane are the main culprets aside from water vapor which is there
anyway.
