No problem m8 ;)
Anyway, despite all complexes, we can say that without some greenhouse effect, we'd be much colder. One model claimed 18 degrees C as a global average, which is more than enough to call it an ice age.
So, for the simplicity, the greenhouse effect works. Sun - reflection - dimming and add greenhouse effect and you have what you have....basically.
It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

Just think... if Co2 levels were twice what they are now plant output would be about 33% more. That may just be enough to wipe out world hunger. Of course that would never happen before the next ice age. Most believe we are at the end of our historical 12000 year cycle. Now for 100000 years of ice............. where not much grows.

Maybe we should be looking to increase our CO2 footprint.
