A community portal about The Greenhouse Effect with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: The greenhouse effect, first discovered by Joseph Fourier in 1824, and first investigated quantitatively by Svante Arrhenius in 1896, is the process in which the absorption of infrared radiation by an atmosphere warms a planet. Without these greenhouse gases, the Earth's surface would be up to 30 °C cooler. The name comes from an incorrect analogy with the way in which greenhouses are heated by the sun in order to facilitate plant growth. In addition to the Earth, Mars, Venus and other celestial bodies with atmospheres have greenhouse effects.
The purpose of this report is to identify the technologies and operating practices that have been developed by the oil and gas industry for injecting carbon dioxide (CO2) for enhanced oil recovery (EOR).
There are other options available to homeowners looking to cut the number of carbon emissions, double glazing in Aberdeen from The Home Enhancement Company being just one of them. A set of double glazed windows will eliminate heat loss from the home and ...
Listen to the podcast on Scientific America here. Champagne. Do you drink it out of a narrow flute or the broader, more shallow coupe? You may have noticed that your perception of the bubbly wine changed as gas escaped from it, and new research ...
From The Hockey Shtick, word of a new paper that supports Miskolczi’s theory of saturated greenhouse effect. We’ve seen this before, in the form of this graph. In 2006, Willis Eschenbach posted this graph on Climate Audit showing the logarithmic … Continue reading →
(PhysOrg.com) -- Worse than toddlers on a sugar high, carbon dioxide molecules just don't like standing still. The tiny molecules, just three atoms, leap from place to place in less than a trillionth of a second. Yet, scientists at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and the University of Wisconsin-Parkside found a way to get clear pictures. They used computer simulations to get detailed images of carbon dioxide reacting with an ionic liquid...
