Abstract
Life on Earth would be impossible without the Natural Greenhouse Effect. This effect results from the capacity of various atmospheric trace gases to absorb infrared radiation. These gases act as a blanket which helps to trap heat.
Nel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita mi ritrovai per una selva oscura, ché la diritta via era smarrita.
Ahi quanto a dir qual era è cosa dura esta selva selvaggia e aspra e forte che nel pensier rinova la paura!
Tant’ è amara che poco è piú morte; ma per trattar del ben ch’i’ vi trovai, dirò del l’altre cose ch’i’ v’ho scorte.
Dante Alighieri (1309).
