The quality of the graphics is abysmal, and text in them cannot be read, even when zoomed. The illegible ""Greenhouse Effect” diagram just below the text you quoted has an original, larger version. The link below is to the website, not the page containing the graphic, which is tricky to find, as it's not in the sidebar. That graphic IS legible, and here's what it says:<br /><br />Solar radiation powers the climate system. Some solar radiation is reflected by the Earth and the atmosphere. About half of the solar radiation is absorbed by the Earth's surface and warms it. Infrared radiation is emitted by the Earth's surface. Some of the infrared radiation passes through the atmosphere, but most is absorbed and re-emitted in all directions by greenhouse gas molecules and clouds. The effect of this is to warm the Earth's surface and lower atmosphere.<br /><br />How much better would it have been if they'd just used that, instead of the piece of total rubbish "developed by academics from the School of Earth and Ocean Sciences"?MostlyHarmlesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18058940884892720332noreply@blogger.com
