The idea, if not the term Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) has been popular since a heat spell in early Eighties. I was quite susceptible then. The idea was mainstreamed by Carl Sagan as a result of his thoughts about Venus. As a planetary physicist, Sagan pondered the exceptionally hot conditions on Venus. The exceptional heat is caused by 'greenhouse' gases in the the Venusian atmosphere. The gases trap infrared radiation, so the atmosphere stays hot. Sagan inferred that a similar hostile climate on earth would result if the percentage of CO2 in the Earth's atmosphere were allowed to increase. My thinking in the late 80's as a physics student and Christian (faith in Christ leads to good science) led me to the conclusion that Sagan was not accounting for the Earths ability to buffer any CO2 increase.

...any FORTRAN coders out there...
-
The last time I touched that was approximately 1973.
Is that like COBOL, perhaps kinda like PASCAL, maybe kind of like BASIC?
I haven’t thought about that FORTRAN word for a long time.
Ever try to do it on punchcards? That made me join the navy!
Anthropogenic Global Warming is a friend of mine....
it will cool me any time....
for a nickle or a dime....
fifty cents for over time....
coming at you from behind...
Anthropogenic Global Cooling is next in line....
Is that what 2 cross-dressers do before sex?
Arithmetic IF statements and Hollerith codes are of the devil!
I wish I could find one of those for COBOL.
I’ll bet the code would look pretty nasty out the other end, not like Java at all.
