AGW: Is the Greenhouse Effect A Blessing or A Curse?

‘Water vapor, though a greenhouse gas, is condensable and, therefore, precipitates out of the atmosphere. It would not be able to sustain the greenhouse effect by itself. It depends on carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous dioxide, et al for its furtherance. If it weren’t for these greenhouse gases, the Earth would be a giant ball of ice. However, with too much of such a good thing, a Hothouse Earth will be the result.’

AGW: A ‘Sign of the Times’— Melting Permafrost

‘What could easily become the factor to push us past the tipping point for runaway global warming is the methane release from the melting of permafrost and oceanic methane hydrate, neither of which we have direct control over — though it has been our activities that has caused it.’
