(by contrast, in contrast, instead, on the other hand, however, nevertheless) "Greenhouse gases" in the atmosphere block infrared radiation from escaping directly from the surface to space. Infrared radiation cannot pass straight through the air like visible light. , most departing energy is carried away from the surface by air currents and clouds, eventually escaping to space from altitudes above the thickest layers of the greenhouse gas blanket. Advances in computing technology and the advent of the Internet have brought about dramatic increases in the amounts of information available to people. , the interfaces used to handle this information have not changed much with time: the mouse, the keyboard, and the computer monitor, connected to a box containing the processor and its peripherals. Less ice in the Arctic means greater heat exchange between ocean and atmosphere, with consequences for the weather in Norway and Europe. , less ice means easier transport conditions for ships (for example through the Northeast passage) and easier exploration and recovery of potential gas and oil reserves in the polar regions.

The high natural variability of the Mediterranean climate makes it very difficult to detect climate changes. , observations suggest that climate may already be changing in the region. Coal, oil and gas-fired power plants convert heat energy to electrical energy. Combustion of a fossil fuel is used to boil water to turn a turbine that spins magnets around copper coils (or vice versa) to produce the electricity we use in our homes, businesses and other institutions. Products of incomplete combustion are emitted as air pollution from this burning process. , a nuclear power plant relies on a controlled self-sustaining nuclear fission reaction to generate the heat required to boil water for the generation of electrical power. Uranium is used in nuclear power plants as a heat source instead of coal, oil or gas. There are no products of incomplete combustion. With its extremely dense atmosphere composed largely of CO2, Venus has very high surface temperatures (up to about 500C). , Mars, with its very thin CO2 atmosphere, has temperatures comparable to those that prevail at the Earth's poles in winter. The explanation for the Venus hothouse and the Martian deep freeze is really quite clearthe greenhouse effect. The chemicals used to de-ice aircraft are ethylene glycol and propylene glycol, both deadly substances in small quantities. Additional pollutants, including fuels and other toxic substances, are also washed off the planes during de-icing procedures. Currently, many European airports still have no method for recycling de-icing fluids. , these pollutants are released into the surrounding environment.
