Wikipedia is not a reliable source for academic writing or research. Wikipedia is increasingly used by people in the academic community, from freshman students to professors, as an easily accessible tertiary source for information about anything and everything, and as a quick "ready reference", to get a sense of a concept or idea. However, citation of Wikipedia in research papers may be considered unacceptable, because Wikipedia is not a reliable source. "Bould, Dylan M., et al., References that anyone can edit: review of Wikipedia citations in peer reviewed health science literature, 2014, British Medical Journal, 6 March 2014, 348 DOI, online from BMJ" "New Age judge blasts Apple | The Register" "Avoid Wikipedia, warns Wikipedia chief | The Register" Most colleges and universities (Especially in some high schools and private schools) have a policy that prohibits students from using Wikipedia as their source for doing research papers, essays, or anything equivalent. This is because Wikipedia can be edited by anyone at any moment. Although when an error is recognized, it is usually fixed. However, because Wikipedia cannot monitor thousands of edits made everyday, some of those edits could contain vandalism or could be simply wrong and left unnoticed for days, weeks, months, or even years. https://www.theguardian.com/ed... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

What's trapping the infrared that you mentioned is the water vapor that is in the atmosphere, it makes up the biggest portion of what is called greenhouses gases certainly not some plant nutrient. Besides before there was a "global warming" there was a "global cooling" back in the 70s, no body believed them then nobody believes them now politics has nothing to do with it. Even UN officials have said all this "scare" about climate change has nothing at all to do with the environment, it is about the transfer of wealth. http://www.investors.com/polit...

You really should stop using WikiPedia as a resource for material. Even WikiPedia states as much because a article can be edited by anyone at anything with an Internet connection. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
