- 07:4107:41, 7 April 2024 diff hist +61 Greenhouse effect Unfortunately, it's sometimes important to be clear that LW radiation is NOT necessarily "heat"; heat flow is technically the difference of upward and downward LW fluxes. So, altered language to be more technically correct. Tag: Reverted

- 03:4403:44, 16 October 2023 diff hist +11 Greenhouse gas Added "recent" as a qualifier, so as to not confuse people into thinking we claim CO2 is responsible for 3/4 of the overall greenhouse effect
- 03:4003:40, 16 October 2023 diff hist +19 Greenhouse gas Link to "longwave radiation" ("Outgoing longwave radiation") instead of "infrared", because "infrared" is to broad a category to be helpful in climate science; much of sunlight is shortwave infrared
- 03:3603:36, 16 October 2023 diff hist +17 Greenhouse gas In intro, changed "heat" to "thermal radiation" since it's not technically correct, in general, that thermodynamic "heat" is being radiated; most of the emitted radiation is not "heat", since only a small portion contributes to radiative heat transfer

- 23:5423:54, 21 July 2023 diff hist +18 Greenhouse effect Replace term "outgoing longwave radiation" with "longwave radiation emitted by the surface", since former phrase conventionally refers to radiation reaching space. This change makes this portion of the text rigorously correct,

- 20:2920:29, 16 July 2023 diff hist +100 Greenhouse effect Most definitions of GhG's (e.g., by IPCC) consider only longwave absorption; it's true that longwave absorption is generally greater than shortwave absorption, but this is not part of the definition
