Eunice Newton Foote’s pioneering work on this effect was overshadowed by John Tyndall. This effect drove a positive feedback loop during the Permian-Triassic mass extinction according to the clathrate gun hypothesis, which predicts the breakdown of permafrost. This effect is caused by infrared-active substances that exert a positive radiative forcing by absorbing outgoing longwave radiation. This effect decreases planetary albedo and unbalances the planet’s energy budget. This effect causes Venus to be warmer than Mercury. For 10 points, global warming is driven by what effect in which gases like methane and carbon dioxide trap energy inside the atmosphere? ■END■
