How they work… or DON’T…
The latter deserves much more attention

[@Rajan-tf9kz]

Greenhouse gases is a misnomer, redhouse gases more accurate. High Albedo reflection at high frequency is reflected back into redhouse while a terrestrial greenhouse would let it through.
Also terrestrial greenhouse does not allow escape of long wave infrared, while the redhouse gases allow.

COP is a waste of time... example, how many years have they been getting together to talk about we should be doing then don't do it.

Ever heard of regulatory capture? What does one call it when the head of a National oil company heads a climate summit?
(Oh, we already had a term for that. What was it? Regulatory capture)
