Oooo, interesting tack: the temperature inside a greenhouse would rise

real greenhouse, the "greenhouse effect" doesn't explain the high

the temperature from rising towards infinity! Twisted enough for ya?

Huh?

My point: the "greenhouse effect" as applied to real greenhouses doesn't
explain the heating, it explains the *cooling.*
