It would be interesting to look for these in the geologic record. Its interesting indeed that as the Sun became brighter, the albedo also increased through the effects of increased continents and cloud cover - both providing a negative feedback againist observing the Earth getting warmer and warmer through time.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17260684310536932239noreply@blogger.com
