I don't think we should use the term "greenhouse effect" for this article. The earth's atmosphere does not work like a greenhouse at all.
Using a misleading term is a mistake. It opens a Pandora's box of deceit. We should only use accurate terms, ones which do not conjure up any misleading notions.
We should tell the truth plainly, in a way which inspires trust. --Ed Poor Talk 06:45, 2 June 2007 (EDT)
I looked at this article because I am a meteorology student (and a Republican yea! red states rule!)
The article has some wrong facts. Saying the gassses emit a different frequency depending on temperature is wrong. The co2 always emits the same frequency but different energy depending on hte temperature. THis has to do with the physics about how the molecules vibrate and give off energy. They vibrate faster when the temperature is hot but the wavelength stays the same. I think there are some more mistakes but I ahve to look them up. I am afraid to edit the article because I am a new person on this cite but the science has to be right so people stop makeing fun of conserapedia. So somebody who has priveledges should fix it.

- Yes, and while you're at it, please help me give the basic physics of the atmosphere. Before we explain any theories about a "problem" (see climate crisis), we should explain the normal operation of system.
- As I understand it, wide temperature swings on the surface of large astromical bodies are normal - if they don't have an atmosphere. The Moon is a case in point.
- But having an atmosphere keeps temperature fairly constant between day and night. Deserts have the widest variation, but areas with vegetation and/or clouds have less of a daily variation.
