Living in the greenhouse

The atmospheric greenhouse effect is a result from the interaction between the absorption spectra of atmospheric gases such as carbon dioxide and the radiation spectra of the Earth and the Sun. The short-wavelength radiation emitted from the sun is not absorbed by greenhouse gases and can thus pass deep into the atmosphere and warms the Earth's surface. The greenhouse effect can be better understood by thinking about the earth being in radiative equilibrium, balancing the flux of incoming shortwave radiation from the sun with outgoing infrared radiation to maintain an equilibrium temperature. The more greenhouse individuals in an organization, the more resentment builds beneath them. It is everyone's responsibility to make sure that the positive and negative aspects of environmental responsibility are shared fairly.
