Why greenhouse Gas Warming is Physically Impossible

Written by Dr Peter L Ward

Here is the most important takeaway fact: Earth Cannot Be Warmed by Its Own Radiation.

NASA’s newest planet-hunting spacecraft has already spied and confirmed a third world outside our Solar System — just three months into the vehicle’s science operations.
