The best news about global warming is that it’s not being caused by increasing solar output or any other natural uncontrollable cause. The good news is that mankind generally understands that it’s the ‘artificially amplified greenhouse effect’ which is the source of increasing global temperatures. With this in mind, it well behooves us to rapidly advance and apply our scientific and technological knowledge to the point that the burning of fossil fuels to produce electricity will become as antiquated as the burning of whale oil for light.

Note: As sunlight (photons) is warming the surface of the world, surface heat energy is also radiating away from our planet in the form of ‘infrared radiation’ which passes freely thru the atmospheric gases of nitrogen and oxygen which do not absorb heat. Indeed, if it weren’t for greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide that ‘do interact’ strongly with infrared energy and ‘impede the escape’ of Earth’s radiant heat, then the planet would be perpetually frozen solid. Thankfully, even though greenhouse gases comprise only 4/10ths of one percent of the atmosphere, they are so powerful that they maintain a ‘blanketing effect’ by constantly ‘absorbing and releasing’ infrared heat energy over and over, again and again. In doing so, they gyrate wildly, thus causing them to vigorously collide with other atmospheric molecules which, in turn, collide with other air molecules, imparting the kinetic energy of motion throughout the atmosphere — and this vibratory state registers as temperature.

Shortened version:
The best news about global warming is that it’s not being caused by increasing solar output or any other natural uncontrollable cause — and the really good news is that mankind now generally understands that it’s the ‘amplified greenhouse effect’ which is the source of increasing global temperatures.
Note: In explaining why the low percentage of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere exerts such a powerful blanketing effect that sustains global warming, we need to be aware that they are constantly ‘absorbing and releasing’ infrared heat energy over and over, again and again, and that in doing so they gyrate wildly, thus causing them to vigorously bump into other atmospheric molecules which, in turn, collide with other air molecules, imparting the kinetic energy of motion throughout the atmosphere — it is this overall cumulative vibratory state that registers as temperature.
With this in mind, it well behooves us to rapidly advance and apply our scientific and technological knowledge to the point that the burning of fossil fuels to produce electricity will become as antiquated as the burning of whale oil for light.
