Basic global warming theory (updated Aug 17 2024)

Not even a mention on Wikipedia.  Mentioned on skepticalscience.com

From NASA https://climate.nasa.gov/news/270/cold-snaps-plus-global-warming-do-add-up/

"To many people’s confusion, these weather events happened against a backdrop of increasing man-made greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere that are gradually warming the planet. But scientists stress this weather does not mean that those gases are no longer exerting a warming influence. Nor does it go against the grain of basic global warming theory."

If you do a search for "Nor does it go against the grain of basic global warming theory", this  thread comes up, which mentions the thread is the second search result, if you use Google.  But it's now the fourth result?

An interesting bit of reading.

Heliothermometer (updated September 4 2025) is now found on Wikipedia

An insulated box with a thermometer inside, sunlight is allowed in through a window with three panes of clear glass, to measure sunlight, but not the outside air.    

Horace Bénédict de Saussure (1740-1799), a Swiss natural scientist, used Mariotte’s insight to design and build a “heliothermometer” to measure the relative intensity of sunlight. It was an insulated box with one side consisting of three layers of glass separated by air layers.
