why a ‘runaway greenhouse effect’ isn’t possible

Published by admin under Climate Change, paleoclimatic

the new theory predicts that greenhouse gas increases should result in small, but very rapid temperature spikes, followed by much longer, slower periods of cooling — exactly what the paleoclimatic record demonstrates. …
