Solar Greenhouse



Why does Fox News post irresponsible stories like "The Greenhouse Myth"?
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,192544,00.html . T Steven Milloy makes the absurd claim that "The notion that our atmosphere acts like a greenhouse ? that is, so-called atmospheric ?greenhouse gases,? like water vapor and CO2, ?trap? incoming solar radiation to warm the atmosphere ? is wrong. Not only doesn?t the atmosphere work that way, greenhouses don?t either." That is just plain wrong. Why would Fox News publish something like that? It is blatantly wrong. Greenhouses work exactly that way. Milloy goes on to claim that the only way greenhouses retain heat is by preventing convection. While it is true that convection is important, radiation is just as important. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_greenhouse_%28technical%29 The article is a blatant lie, but my question is why? Does Milloy think his conservative readers are so stupid that they will not recognize how absurd his claims are? Is he right?

Brilliant Beautiful solar powered gardeners, help please?
There is a formula for computing the pitch of a passive solar greenhouse roof that is dependant on the Longitude and Latitude of your exact location. I just can't remember it nor find it on line. helphelphelp my brain is melting AND I want to be outside playing in the dirt and glorious 68 sunny SC degrees. Anyone care to join me in the garden and puzzle the math out? Thank you all, humor is a plus, rude need not apply. SuperCat, great info. I get all of that. somewhere there is an equasion, a mathematical expression to compute the angle degree of the overhang. Where is that junk drawer in my brain when I need it? Thanks sweetie.
