Hello.<BR/><BR/>I strongly suggest you read the wiki page, and the refs therein, including to Wood's early paper (greenhouses with walls transparent to IR heat up just the same). The wiki greenhouse effect page had about the longest revert war in known history over this very topic.<BR/><BR/>I don't see anything in what you've written that overturns the CW. Maybe I read carelessly.William M.

I liked the approach you have taken. Too many have dismissed the greenhouse analogy too quickly and I think that it does explain a great deal. The car should be familiar to most so you are starting with an advantage.<BR/><BR/>However my teaching side would not let me comment without some criticism (constructive I hope). First, it is a trivial point, but I have always used the number of 33C as what greenhouse gases have increased surface temperatures by. Second, I would point out the following sentence, it seems a bit clunky. <BR/><BR/><I>As the air in the car warms, the interface between the atmosphere and the car, the glass also warms, as things warm, the rate of radiation increases as the fourth power of the temperature, so the hotter glass radiates at a faster rate. </I><BR/><BR/>Last, I might remove or rehash the hydraulic example. I know what you mean and you are clear about it, but the old saying goes that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. I can see that some might be confused by thinking you are talking about Bernoulli’s equation and thus the pressure should go down. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, the above is offered free of charge and worth every bit of it. Feel free to use, modify and ignore any or all of it. <BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/>JohnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16612221.post-1128326785630523042005-10-03T04:06:00.000-04:002005-10-03T04:06:00.000-04:00Looks good so far, I think UV apsorption by the gl...Looks good so far, I think UV apsorption by the glass further heating the windows might be the next largest contribution not outlined, but I'm thinking my mom might feel a bit lost after the word convection was used. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
