Outline What is the Greenhouse Effect? Forcings over Geologic Time Sources to Estimate Greenhouse Effect Evolution of Greenhouse Effect Comparison to Neighboring Planets Whither the Greenhouse Effect?

Greenhouse Effect F TOA

G = - F TOA Wm -2 g = /F TOA Greenhouse Effect (Energy) Greenhouse Efficiency

Greenhouse Effect: G or g Convolves a number of relevant climatic variables: Temperature Water Vapor Clouds Trace Gases {CO 2, CH 4, …}

Forcings over Geologic Time Solar Insolation Luminosity Interplanetary Dust? Milankovitch S(t,  ) Atmospheric Composition Carbon Dioxide & Methane Volcanic Aerosols Paleogeography Orography Positions of Continents Ocean Basins Ocean Bathymetry
