"anti-GHE" seems to be something of a neologism. And the article needs better refs. The only ref it does have states quite clearly Titan is the only world in the solar system that has an anti-greenhouse effect which contradicts the article itself. William M. Connolley 09:45, 11 January 2006 (UTC).

Well, The Titan Article was written on Nov 03, 2005. The discovery of the Pluto effect was published on January 3, 2006, But i have changed the links anyway to nasa and space.com websites. Fosnez 06:26, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

OK, having looked, the Titan example makes sense. But the Pluto one doesn't, though I've done my best to fit it in. It makes no sense because (a) the mechanism is totally different to titan and (b) as far as i can see, its just the same thing as happens on Earth. Except that no-one would call it that. William M.

[edit] Neologism?

GN rm'd neologism on the grounds that it was misspelled and unnecessary and misleading characterization. Misspelled I admit; I've fixed that. Misleading is wrong: it appears to date to Nov 2005, and if that isn't neo I don't know what is. Unnecessary? that is arguable I suppose; I think its a good idea to make clear that this term isn't widely used or known. Judging by the examples presented, it doesn't even have a clear meaning.

"Greenhouse effect" is a neologism itself, too. But characterizing it as such doesn't help to understand it. Gene Nygaard 03:56, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thus keeping the surface approximately 10°C (20°F) cooler than would otherwise be expected
