... we’d sure save some money on air-conditioning without the greenhouse effect, we’d also all be dead. Not a fair trade. On the flip side, relatively small increases in the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere can push the temperatures up even higher. Before we get into changes to the Ea ...
