China? India? Watch the news, man.

I am presently marking another pile of essays on the Climate Debates. Ho fucking hum, but one interesting source pointed out that all the burning of fossil fuels (and the use of uranium etc) - completely apart from any CO2/greenhouse stuff - is taking a large amount of energy that had been locked up as chemical (or nuclear) energy, and releasing it to turn into heat. That warms the atmosphere. While a warmer atmosphere will emit more heat to space (ceteris paribus), it is less than 100% pass through and so this alone would/should/will/already-has cause(d) warming.
