[edit] Future of this article

This article only got created because of the Great Greenhouse effect war. Nonetheless it has some useful info. What should happen to it? Much of the how-do-GH's-work is redundant, because of the GHE page's current state. William M. Connolley 2005-06-29 21:24:45 (UTC).

The article does have useful content on the details of greenhouses. It should be more tightly linked to the regular greenhouse page and de-coupled from the greenhouse effect page. The overheavy reference section needs to be weeded to focus more on the greenhouse details and delete those only dealing with the climate aspects. -Vsmith 30 June 2005 01:28 (UTC)

The claim that the greenhouse effect works by blocking convection is absurd. That's like saying a tea kettle works by blocking drainage. It says nothing about what drives the temperature up. (With your windows and doors closed, your home also acts as a barrier to convection, but that doesn't make it a greenhouse.) I first encountered this claim on a web site funded by the oil industry that professed to "explain" the greenhouse effect but only clouded the issue (If you'll excuse the expression). --MiguelMunoz 08:47, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

The claim is correct. Please see the greenhouse effect article for details. This was discussed extensively there - please go and read the discussion there William M. Connolley 10:26, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

I read all of his contributions, but there is no contribution with those numbers, nor is there one that refutes (or even addresses) my claim. I maintain my position. The claim is absurd. If you disagree, you're welcome to point out the flaw in my reasoning. The claim is equally wrong on the greenhouse effect page. --MiguelMunoz 18:23, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

You're wrong' but the place to debate it is the GHE page, not here William M. Connolley 20:20, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] POV fork?

I hope no one will immediately brand this page a POV fork and vote it into deletion:

1. There is no NPOV dispute about it going on right now, that I know of.
2. It is a legitimate spinoff of the Greenhouse article (the one about plants in a building with glass walls and roof). --Uncle Ed 17:46, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
