...carbon dioxide. They are transparent to the short-wave energy (light and near infrared) that comes from the sun, but opaque to most of the long-wave heat radiation that tries to return to space. This "greenhouse effect" traps heat and makes the earth's surface considerably warmer than it would be if the atmosphere had no water vapor or carbon dioxide in it. An increase in either constituent would make it warmer still. Warm eras in the geological past may have been caused by CO2 from volcanoes...
...team has done since its return from the South. "Our pitching is fine, our fielding adequate, but our hitting is definitely not as good as it should be," Shepard said. "Boys like Matt Botsford and John Getch should be hitting much better," he added, "but I think with warmer weather, things will improve...

When the heat-ray image forms on the plastic, the "bright" parts of it are warmer than the dim parts. Their heat passes through the plastic and evaporates part of the oil film, making it locally thinner. When light is turned on the oil film, it glows in the bright "interference" colors of an oil slick floating on water. The colors have nothing to do with the real colors in visible light of the object that Eva is viewing. They show thin or thick parts of the oil film-and therefore outline the object by its temperature. Hot parts show...
