→Narrow scope of this page: I'll buy you a Coke if you help me :-
==Narrow scope of this page==
==Narrow scope of this page==
On this page, the term "greenhouse effect" isn't used with its wide, inductive meaning, which is that of the effect that works like in a greenhouse. In other words, the term "greenhouse effect" has a much wider meaning than what this page here portrays it to be. The term "greenhouse effect" is not only used in meteorology. The problem is that on this page the term is used the way the environmetalists use it, and that is so narrow and incomplete. Please put some emphasis on the meaning of the term itself, not just the way some enviromentalists with political agendas use it. Precise use of terms is important. --[[User:Pepsi-Cola|Pepsi-Cola]] 13:56, 25 June 2007 (EDT)

:That is my plan. In fact, I would like to use this page only to explain how an actual [[greenhouse]] works (primarily by trapping warm air). I would like to use another page, such as [[Atmosphere]], to explain how and why the average temperature of the earth's surface is fit for human life (most of the time, in most places).
:I don't like the use of the metaphor of a ''greenhouse'' in the "global warming" debate. It starts with a misconception, and there are too many misconceptions already in the [[global warming controversy]].
:Science should dispel confusion, no matter how much politics creates it. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 14:03, 25 June 2007 (EDT)
