The negative feedback system keeps our climate relatively steady in temperature. Jovial had never heard of this concept.

HM times have I talked about the changing albedo in the Arctic as sea ice extent shrinks? Try reading a science book, Booby, something written for 10 year olds would be good.

Why do you believe all those graphs?

Water vapor is a greenhouse gas. I have NEVER said anything to the contrary.

H2O leaves a small window in the IR band for IR photons to escape. CO2 and the other greenhouse gases act to close that window further.

Since CO2 is increasing in concentration in the atmosphere the window for IR photons to escape through is narrowing. That is why the globe is heating up. Because the globe is heating the tundra is thawing, releasing more CO2 and methane and nitrous oxide.

Methane and nitrous oxide are MUCH stronger greenhouse gases than carbon dioxide.

Dope.... anyone who knows Mathematics and statistics knows the term Modal or more fully. Modal Value. That which is the most common/frequent value. My guess was that was what you meant. So you might like to call it Mode, but when I was at school doing Mathematical Statistics it was called the Modal value.

So pull your head in or stick back where it belongs. Cheesy
