Upscale, modern, and chic! This Palm Springs holiday hideaway has been exquisitely appointed with modern designer accents from top to bottom! Located in a private gated community in the famed Racquet Club neighborhood, this condo truly embodies the perfect blend of modern amenities with the glitz of Palm Springs past.
What truly separates this vacation villa from the rest is the sparkling private pool in the backyard. The community itself has shared pools for the complex's residents, but to truly unwind and enjoy some privacy, you only need to step onto the back patio. The saltwater pool is easy on the eyes, hair, and skin, unlike a traditional chlorinated pool.
The back patio is also a great place to enjoy a year-round Palm Springs tradition: barbecuing. The large gas barbecue makes outdoor meal preparation a snap, and there's room for four to dine al fresco. The outdoor space has high hedging for maximum privacy, and is a great space to sunbathe in the reliable Palm Springs sunshine.
Inside this 2-bedroom, 2.5 bath condo, you"ll find a beautiful open layout with plenty of glass to let the warm sunlight in. The furnishings are all new with a designer flair, giving the overall space a clean, sophisticated feel. Approximately 1700 square feet of living space keeps the home feeling open and airy.
The updated amenities continue into the kitchen and dining space. The dining room has plenty of room for 6 at the glass dining table. The kitchen has ample counter space wrapping around the room, and is equipped with modern stainless steel appliances. Small kitchen appliances are also provided, along with a full array of utensils and cookware. Pots, pans, baking dishes, serving platters, and everything else you need to prepare and serve a gourmet feast are included in the home. The kitchen sink has a restaurant-grade pull-down sprayer, making cleaning a cinch.
The living area is a great place to curl up and watch a late-night movie or host a cocktail party for a few close friends. There's a great seating area for playing cards or enjoying the morning paper that looks out to the tranquil pool area. A glass and mirrored wet bar makes a great station for drinks and quick bites while entertaining. The 55" LED TV with DVD player is a focal point, making it easier for everyone to watch the big game together.
This community is a historic and gated complex in the Racquet Club neighborhood, with iconic midcentury architecture framed by professional landscaping. It's conveniently located near Palm Canyon Drive, the main artery to downtown Palm Springs, which is just a couple of minutes away. It's also relatively close to Interstate 10, allowing access to other nearby venues like the Cabazon Outlet Mall and El Paseo in Palm Desert. Los Angeles, San Diego, and Disneyland are also reachable within a 2 hour drive. Book your next Palm Springs retreat at Racquet Club Vacation Condo! City Permit #4040
"Loved the home and the fact that it was furnished with non-rental furniture and accessories. Portia was great as receptionist, Kelly made sure everything was working well and Josh and Scott responded quickly to any problems. "
Condo was very nicely renovated, spacious, and well stocked with linens, dishes, pool toys, etc. Very private back yard with a private pool was perfect. Complex was very quiet. Parking spot close to rental unit. Condo in a good location, a short drive to anywhere in Palm Springs. Condo owner had provided lots of information about how to work things in the condo and also about area attractions so that was helpful. The VPS team was very quick to respond.
We enjoyed using the pool daily. We loved that everything was labelled and the kitchen and towels were well stocked. We loved that everything was clean. Everyone was friendly and accommodating.
I loved the fact that the house was so safe all gated up and very nice area. My experience was a very pleasant and nice one I am actually planning on going back very soon recommended it to everyone I know. Honestly it was perfect I would not change anything. I had a very easy process booking with Nate.
The condo felt new, clean, safe ,and in a good location. We would have liked a remote key for the car entrance.
This home was beautifully decorated, well stocked & thoroughly updated throughout. Small private pool & patio area & very close to the big common pool. We didn't need a thing extra, everything you could think of is provided. A very comfortable home. The mattress on the bed in the smaller bedroom is pretty lumpy & squeaky & the lighting in all the bathrooms is dark. Very hard to put my makeup on, ha! I used the mirrored bar area as my vanity. Great customer service, as always from Vacation Palm Springs! Everybody that I talked with when I called was very helpful.
The house is very clean and very modern and beautiful. Comfortable beds and clean bathrooms.

agree with Verdun re feeding. Don't.
Flowering and seeding is a plant's response to challenges, starvation, drought etc
lots of leaves is the response to an easy life with plenty to eat and drink
true Dove
GD you're right that the first is a geranium. The 'endressii' and 'oxonianum' mentioned by Ladybird and me are geraniums. We're were just discussing which one.
and eschscholzia = Californian poppy
I'd leave that there and de-sensitise yourself wakeshine. It's just a sunflower with a bit missing. what remains will make seed for the birds
It may get a lot bigger yet but 'tree' is a bit OTT.
They germinate at any time from spring and just keep growing for some weeks. The young stage is the most attractive, once they've been flowering for a while they are less colourful.
and they make millions of seeds
Chenopodium giganteum, tree spinach
geraniums have 5 petals
poppies have 4 but so do a lot of other flowers, need leaves
my guess is those asters are from mixed annuals and won't have names
the geranium looks like endressii or one of the x oxonianums. Or maybe just a seedling of something.
The one with the red leaves is a persicaria possibly affinis
need some leaves on the white one but might be a poppy
Yes, they're asters
chrysanths flower late, you might get some in autumn
It's a native plant (the fancy cultivar doesn't change that) it can stand our weather.

The Yankees have thoroughly manhandled the Angels the last two days, winning the first two games of this series by the combined score of 12-1. Last night they were three outs away from throwing back-to-back shutouts against an AL team for the first time since 2009. (They did it to the Mets in 2014.) The Angels stink, yeah, but it's still fun to see the Yankees playing so well, especially after the kids were called up.
This afternoon's game is a chance to finish not just the series sweep, but the season series sweep. The Yankees are a perfect 6-0 against the Angels this season, and that's pretty cool. The last time they swept a season series of at least seven games was 2009, when they did it to the Twins. Figures. They then swept Minnesota in the ALDS that year too. Here are Angels' lineup and Yankees' lineup for today's game:
- LF Brett Gardner
- CF Jacoby Ellsbury
- C Gary Sanchez
- SS Didi Gregorius
- 2B Starlin Castro
- DH Brian McCann
- 1B Mark Teixeira
- 3B Chase Headley
- RF Aaron Hicks
RHP Chad Green
The weather is great in Anaheim again. Pretty nice afternoon to spend at the ballpark. Today's series finale is set to begin at 3:35pm ET and you can watch on YES. Enjoy the game.

Kidney Failure—It's What's for Dinner
An organic beef producer is recalling more than 34,000 pounds of ground beef after finding E. coli bacteria in its facilities. E. coli can cause dehydration, anemia, kidney failure, and even death.
Many consumers don't realize that animals on organic farms may be forced to endure the same crowded, filthy conditions as animals on typical factory farms. Because of these conditions and the fact that organic farmers avoid using antibiotics, organically raised animals can harbor even more bacteria than animals who are drugged. See PETA's factsheet for more on the myths surrounding organic and free-range farms.
|m-j-h/CC by 2.0
Written by Michelle Sherrow
Commenting is closed.
We mistreat and kill animals; their corps and flesh kill us…So us, superior beings, KILL OURSELVES! We don't really seem to be so intelligent as we say we are. Definitely.
34,000 lbs of ground beef (assuming 243.2 lbs of ground beef per animal) is about 140 animals.
And animals that are grown organically are only legally allowed to be marketed as organic if they are sent to an organic slaughter house. If it was not sent to an organic slaughter house but still raised on an organic farm, it can be marketed as organically raised.

White Chocolate Fondant
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 0 mins
I was looking for a white chocolate fondant for my wedding cake and found this Candy Clay recipe which works great for a fondant http://www.baking911.com/recipes/cakes/candyclay.htm. I've used this on numerous cakes and have perfected the use as a fondant. Every person that's tried it said that it's the best fondant they've ever eaten. You can substitute dark chocolate for the white chocolate, and it tastes exactly like tootsie rolls. I used this for molding a monkey topper for a wedding cake. This recipe is so quick, easy, and tasty, there's no reason not to try it! Once you do, you'll never try another fondant again!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 14 ounces white chocolate
- 1⁄3 cup light corn syrup (Karo)
- Melt white chocolate in a double boiler.
- Transfer white chocolate to a bowl and stir in syrup.
- It will look like the syrup is separating from the mix, but cover it with saran wrap and let sit 24 hours.
- After 24 hrs, it will be hard, but knead until smooth. You can put it briefly in the microwave to make it easier to get out of the bowl. Sometimes lumps have formed, but if you keep kneading you can get these out. Knead a small portion at a time if it's more manageable. If it gets too soft, refrigerate briefly. Do not over work mixture as it becomes oily.
- Using a rolling pin, roll out to approximately 1/8 inch thickness onto a Roll & Cut Mat (or nonstick paper like wax paper) using powdered sugar or cornstarch to prevent sticking.
- To Tint: Add Wilton gel color to fondant and knead in color until well blended.
- To Store: Wrap with saran wrap and place in a sealed bag or container and store in the refrigerator or at room temperature until ready for use.
- Note: Preparation time does not include the 24 hour hold.

FYI this is not rolled fondant this is what we in the pastry world call the play dough of pastry chefs. This is actually the recipe for modeling chocolate. Nevertheless, it can be use as fondant. Most commercial fondants have that plastic taste that many people hate. But there are amazing tasty fondant specially the Swiss one. One delicious fondant is the one made with marshmallow. Most Fondants are very sweet since the #1 ingredient is sugar. In my Facebook page I have several tutorials on how to make both white and with dark modeling chocolate plus a project associated with it. Your recipe is right on!
This is really good, but I was also wondering if you are able to make double the recipe at the same time. I just have bigger cakes to cover and didn't know if making it at the same time would mess it up.(: thanks
I hate fondant. HATE it. It looks great, it tastes awful and always too sweet. But my GOD this is the best tasting fondant I have ever used!!! I just eating it! My problem is I didn't make enough to cover my cake, so if you have anything bigger than a double layer 8", increase the recipe. Other than that AWESOME!

Nigerian novelist and poet Chinua Achebe, widely seen as a grandfather of modern African literature, has died at the age of 82. Achebe made his name more than 50 years ago with his novel "Things Fall Apart," about his Igbo ethnic group's fatal brush with British colonialism in the 1800s. It was the first time the story of European colonialism had been told from an African perspective to an international audience.

The lines are blurring between gaming PCs and traditional consoles. Valve's Steam Machines, gaming PCs designed to express the best of both worlds, are ostensibly the prototype for this awesome future, and they're now available for preorder. Too bad they're not something you should buy — yet.The single best way to increase your FPS is to drop your resolution, so let's dig into CS:GO's graphics settingsAs more developers consider real-money transactions and user-driven marketplaces, virtual "gunrunners" have already been cutting deals inside and outside Counter-Strike: Global Offensive's official channels. Gamasutra's Mike Rose reports.Launched just before Christmas in the kind of primetime slot that with hindsight so often looks like a graveyard, Ubisoft anticipated that Siege would achieve lifetime sales of over seven million copies. For many reasons, however, Siege has thus far failed to make a commercial impact. The tragedy is that Siege offers something new and unique in the stalest of genres, the mainstream FPS. At one point it even looked like it might usurp the greats of the competitive shooter world. What's stopped it? Ubisoft.Siege is riddled with evidence of top-down game design edicts. Prime among them is that the game is sold at a premium price (a rapidly-falling £50/$60), but at the same time the game includes a layer of microtransactions based around XP boosters—which will help players unlock stuff faster—as well as cosmetic weapon skins and a season pass for future DLC content. That might sound heinous, but it's to the credit of the development team at Ubisoft Montreal that it doesn't encroach too much on the core experience. These microtransactions, however, haven't had a good impact on the game's image, and much like Evolve, Ubisoft is in danger of losing players before they've even given the game a try.The man from Canada goes by the online name Johnb32xq. In the eyes of some he is what's wrong with online multiplayer gaming. Some might brand him a scourge—maybe even a bad person—but that's the common reaction to situations like these, when good people cross lines that other good people don't.
Much of the weapon trading within CS:GO is done by the book, with market owner Valve taking its 15 percent cut of the revenue. But as is always the case when opportunities like this arise, there's also a seedy underbelly oozing with risky arms trafficking and under-the-table deals -- a world that Valve simply cannot control.r sell them each for.There are a number of different hangouts for CS:GO gunrunners. Most congregate around the CS:GO Lounge, a third-party trading website which allows soldiers to list their potential trades, check out what anyone else is offering, and then conduct their business. Another popular spot is the /r/GlobalOffensiveTrade Reddit forum, which works in very much the same manner.Eventually, Redline hopes to port the entire project over to the Source 2 development kit and create a free, standalone game called SOCOM: Source. For now, he's continuing to build his new SOCOM community, adding clan support, tournament ladders, and all of the other tools that didn't exist when the PS2 had its day. "This is the way to get the gameplay back," he says. There's determination in his voice. "But [the community] is the bigger picture. We can't just keep playing the same maps for the rest of our lives."

You can also customise your weapon with Blood Gems. There are different types and you can slot in up to three at a time. One gem might have you use less stamina per swing, for example. Every Monday, Evan writes about first-person shooters in Shooterology.
His response, minus the profanity, should be the headline of any betting site. You gamble at your own risk and if you're in a position and constantly blaming others for your loss, you have a gambling problem. There is a reason why gambling sites and casinos have an age restriction, there is supposed to be a level of responsibility and maturity which come with throwing money away, a restriction which CSGOLounge and Dota2Lounge do not have. That's an article for another day.Seven professional Counter-Strike: Global Offensive players have been banned from Valve-sponsored events, including the upcoming ESL One Katowice. The bans come as the result of an August 2014 match between iBUYPOWER and NetcodeGuides.com, which has now been confirmed as having been fixed."You cannot do that right now, when the beta comes back up loot boxes are only rewarded based off of game and player level," he replied. "But we've had this system in for about two months internally, and it's something that a lot of us really want is the ability to purchase additional loot boxes. So we're definitely exploring if that's a system we can pursue, and there's a lot of interest around it. It's definitely something we'd like to do."Envanterinizdeki kullanmad???n?z skin'lerden bir ?ekilde faydalanmak ve daha ?nce sahip olamad?klar?n?z? almak istiyorsan?z, Kinguin'den size harika bir haber var!There's also an argument to be made that since Valve is making a killing off these cases, it naturally feels incentivized to devote more resources to post-release development of the game. During the past year the game has seen the addition of a new weapon, hitboxes, culling, animations, and more. This support has made the game better, and is part of the reason why the game is so big it can challenge Dota 2's concurrent player count. Competitive Counter-Strike continues to draw a healthy amount of spectators as Valve's FPS has grown significantly since the end of 2013. Following Katowice earlier this year, the ESL Championship begins 3 AM Eastern on Thursday, the first matches of ESL One Cologne 2014 will kick off in Germany, culminating in a final match on Sunday.
The biggest news is that Valve is working on making Steam "a self-publishing system," something Newell hinted at during Steam Dev Days when he announced that Steam Greenlight is going away. Before Greenlight, Valve "got bottle-necked pretty fast on tools and decision making," says Newell. That led to Greenlight, and is now leading the company toward self-publishing.The higher level matches you're playing, the more you'll start seeing the same guns being used over and over again. There's not much debate over which weapons are the most useful in the average CS match: you'll need to learn to frag effectively with the AK-47 (when on the terrorist side), the M4A4 or M4A1-S (when on the CT side), and the AWP if you want to play that role (most five-man teams will only have one AWPer). It's worthwhile to get decent at some of the cheaper guns as well, but the vast majority of the time you will be using one of the above-mentioned rifles once you get into the more advanced ranks.CS:GO tips: Guide on how to get better at Counter-Strike: Global OffensiveWhile the industry standard is the Cherry MX switch, we've also chosen a selection of keyboards with in-house or commissioned keys. This has become a popular trend as of late, as each brand looks to distinguish its keyboards with a specific feel and sound.Artur Minacov, 21 and John Brechisci, 28, founded a site called OPSkins in January, and say they've since made a fortune buying and selling virtual video game gun skins online.
The idea is to have a minimalist interior, with the owner able to change the colour scheme of the PC at the flick of a switch on a remote control device. There are several colours and options to choose from, plus consumers will be able to customise the etching on the back of the system, or simply lift the front to access the PC's interior..There will be several different versions available, priced from £2,000 to £5,000.It was close-fought up until the final match, and with a $60,000 second-place prize, I reckon NaVi can take some pride in their performance against what is arguably the world's best CS:GO team.In August of 2012 the next-generation of Counter-Strike released under the name Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. For veterans of the franchise, it offered a graceful presentation that would make it an attractive alternative for those feeling fatigue from the aging visuals of Counter-Strike 1.6 and Counter-Strike: Source. To new players, it presented something that lacked the welcoming learning curve, well-tuned modes of play, and addictive leveling systems that have become standard across most modern shooters.Months after the original article was published, when it seemed as though the CS:GO match-fixing controversy had been forgotten, more incriminating evidence was released about the iBUYPOWER players. This prompted Valve to keep them home from the MLG Aspen tournament to run an investigation into these allegations. Hopefully, you can use this advice to make your way into the world of Counter-Strike in a relatively smooth fashion. Once you're in far enough to be winning matches consistently, further improvement will come naturally, since you'll be having fun. Getting over the initial hump of unfamiliarity is by far the hardest part of CS - get in there and start climbing.There was a round of CS:GO during last Friday's Dreamhack Invitational matches that I found really inspiring. I've recorded some commentary over it at 25% playback speed in the video above. AWP - $4,750

Game engine developed by Ensemble Studios and used in several popular computer games, such as Age of Empires, Age of Empires II and its expansion (but is not used in other Ensemble Studios games) and Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds.
Good afternoon, brothers and sisters. I am here to reveal the next phase for Age of Bloodshed and some concepts that I am currently working on to enhance your playing experience.
Originally, I had planned to do a minor update from Age of Bloodshed 1.08 to a version that we will just call 1.09. However, the scope of the mod is becoming far greater than I had imagined and I have a full scale expansion planned for the next iteration. Hence, the next release of Age of Bloodshed will not be releasing until 2017.
That being said, let's take a look at some of the graphical updates and concepts for the next expansion of Age of Bloodshed.
The first six images you see above are part of a test that involves the use of an HDTV where I re-balance some of the contrast and brightness to make it look amazing on the big screen. This is something that works quite well with Age of Bloodshed.
The final four images are screens from a new campaign that I will be releasing with the next expansion of Age of Bloodshed.
As always, I invite you to visit the Age of Bloodshed Nexusmods Page by clicking the icon below.
And download the current version of Age of Bloodshed 1.08 by clicking this icon below.
Also, it appears that Age of Bloodshed has reached over 11,000 views on Moddb
and over 4,200 on Nexusmods! Thank you for continuing to support Age of Bloodshed!
Stay tuned for more updates.

Metal band reminds me of Sepultura/Soulfly/Pantera with hardcore influences. Track
9-11 are silence tracks then 12-14 are from their 2006 EP 'This Is Tribalcore'
Was all on one disc. Enjoy!
By incorporating the earth-shaking riffs and deafening vocals of metal/hardcore
styles, Latin/African rhythms, and exotic instruments, ONE BRICK DOWN prove that
they are not just another cookie-cutter band
Formed in 2000, Brian Hunter (Rhythm/Lead Guitar, Sitar, Oud) and Cory Schamble
(Drums/Percussion) had auditioned countless numbers of musicians to find the
right members who shared the same passion, creativity, and dedication for music
as they did. After extensive searching, they recruited Jon Vendetti (Lead
Vocals), Steve Viola (Guitars), Miguel Castro (Lead Percussion), and Eric
Bergmann (Bass) to complete the band. As they say, the rest is history
Since the formation of ONE BRICK DOWN, they have only been moving foward
gaining a growing, loyal fanbase in the process. They have played countless
shows with national acts including HATEBREED, GOD FORBID, EVERGREEN TERRACE, THE
CONCRETE-the list goes on and on. In addition, the band recently won THE BREAK
CONTEST, earning a slot on the BAMBOOZLE 2008 tour in Giant STADIUM (a crowd of
50,000+ people!)
Now the band is itching to break out with their latest release, TRIBALCORE
LEADER . This album is certainly creating a buzz, catching the ears of
well-known SIRIUS RADIO metal dj JOSE MANGIN. This album is straight-up
BRUTAL!!! , says MANNY RAMIREZ (President of the SOULFLY Street Team). With
MANGIN S full support, ONE BRICK DOWN has been put into heavy rotation on SIRIUS
HARD ATTACK, and are receiving awesome fan support nationwide.

Such A Scream Lyrics
Artist: Tom Waits
Album: Bone Machine
(Tom Waits)
Well pale face said
To the eyeball Kid
She just goes clank and boom and steam
A halo, wings, horns and a tail
Shoveling coal inside my dreams
There are no laws
She's made of cream
She's such a scream
Qui bon tres bien, nails in cement
A Donnie gal from mortal clay
The plow is red
The well is full inside
The dollhouse of her skull
A cheetah coat fills up with steam
She's such a scream
All crooked lines
Her fireplace
A milktrain so clean
Machine gun haste
You'll ride the only wall of shame
And drag that chain across the state
Her lips are red
She is the queen
She's such a scream

This was a great show. Much more interesting and varied than I thought it was going to be. The food was pretty good but the show was the most impressive.
Reviewed by: Alan T, September 2016
Talk about exceeding expectations! This is probably what you would call a one-off experience but it was worth every penny....I will never forget it, that's for sure. In terms of the experience with Viator my wife and I were very impressed. The service was fantastic and the staff we both courteous and helpful. We were made to feel special and it all contributed to a great night. As I am writing this I am thinking maybe it won't be a one-off after all......

The eyes of Cambodia are upon the world…
French outdoor installation artist (call it "street art" if you must) extraordinaire JR continues his epic 28 MILLIMETER: WOMEN project with the unveiling this week of his most recent series of street-level installations in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. In town to photograph local women in the country's capitol city, JR continues on his mission to portray the unseen and unempowered women of the world in and around the streets of their own neighborhoods. Reproducing the resulting imagery on a massive scale underscores the importance of these marginalized citizens and is intended to draw the eyes of the world to their often-unseen lives.

What is Runaway greenhouse effect[edit]
I've decided I know what a RAGE is, and so I'm going to edit the page to reflect that. I think this will be useful, because it then becomes clear that its different from RACC, and why, which might even help define that, too William M. Connolley (talk) 22:27, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
- Another hasty and poorly-researched edit, William. I've easily found a couple of sources which clearly use the term to descrive AGW, and changed the article accordingly. I've left the main bulk of the article about the Venus-type situation, though.Andrewjlockley (talk) 10:03, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
- Nope, you've found a couple of confused people, so I've reverted that out. Stick to RaCC for now William M. Connolley (talk) 19:34, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
- First only uses runaway in the headline. Within the body, they are more cautious and say "rapid global greenhouse warming". The second is the grauniad and is hopelessly confused. Those are Hadley GCM results - there is no RGE there, just some fedbacks. As usual, you don't even read your sources any further than their headlines, because you just don't care William M. Connolley (talk) 19:38, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
- The definition in the first sentence is the one that I am familiar with and, probably more importantly, supported by the literature. -Atmoz (talk) 18:39, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
- The definition wasn't supported by a peer-reviewed source, and was removed. Indeed it directly contradicted a source already in the article. WMC seems not to have read the citations, as a source which SPECIFICALLY discussed RAGE is used to support it's non-existence! I suggest we revert WMCs arbitrary demerge of this article, as the peer-reviewed articles use RAGE to describe the terrestrial events dealt with in RACC. I'll merge-tag it now.Andrewjlockley (talk) 01:06, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
- Don't blindly revert like that without looking for sources. There are many referred sources that define runaway greenhouse effect in this way. For example this one. -Atmoz (talk) 02:53, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

- William, I strongly disagree with what appears to be your original research. A look at the most cited papers about "runaway greenhouse effect" shows that the only common definition possible is "a major temperature increase due to a positive feedback loop". google search

- Refs to papers are good. Do you mean this one? I'm amenable to change, if you can clearly demonstrate what you mean William M. Connolley (talk) 14:34, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
- Here are some very cited refs which don't match your too narrow definition:

Someone gave me this, so I shall share it:
Annual Review of Energy and the Environment Vol. 25: 441-475 (Volume publication date November 2000) (doi:10.1146/annurev.energy.25.1.441) WATER VAPOR FEEDBACK AND GLOBAL WARMING1 Isaac M. Held and Brian J. Soden The size of nondimensional ratio, ?H2O, provides a measure of the strength of the water vapor feedback. If ?H2O ? 0.4, water vapor feedback increases the sensitivity of temperatures to CO2 by a factor of ? 1.7, assuming that I and C are fixed. If the value of ?H2O were larger than unity, the result would be a runaway greenhouse. The outgoing infrared flux would decrease with increasing temperatures. It is, of course, self-evident that the Earth is not in a runaway configuration. But it is sobering to realize that it is only after detailed computations with a realistic model of radiative transfer that we obtain the estimate ?H2O ? 0.4 (for fixed relative humidity). There is no simple physical argument of which we are aware from which one could have concluded beforehand that ?H2O was less than unity. The value of ?H2O does, in fact, increase as the climate warms if the relative humidity is fixed. On this basis, one might expect runaway conditions to develop eventually if the climate warms sufficiently. Although it is difficult to be quantitative, primarily because of uncertainties in cloud prediction, it is clear that this point is only achieved for temperatures that are far warmer than any relevant for the global warming debate (22).

DOI problem[edit]
Please provide more info on doi|10.1175/1520-0469(1975)032. I was not able to determine the correct article for this. Q Science (talk) 06:03, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
- It takes me to this article, which deals with Venus. But, skimming it, I cannot find any reference to a runaway greenhouse effect. Also, its 34 years old. That does not make it bad science, but it makes it a tad outdated, especially since we had the Vegas and Cassini there fairly recently, and currently have Venus Express in orbit. --Stephan Schulz (talk) 08:56, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

What does Events which would meet Benton and Twitchet's definition of a runway greenhouse... mean? What is B&T's defn? Why is it here? William M. Connolley (talk) 20:48, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
- cite added. They used the runaway term to describe the PT and PETM, which made it a relevant cite. Website's down, so you've got a bare URL atm. Sry!Andrewjlockley (talk) 02:36, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
- Benton and Twitchett claim that volcanoes raised the temperature of the Earth so high that methane hydrates melted and increased the amount of Greenhouse Gases, which increased the amount of warming so that additional hydrates were released. They then define this scenario as a 'runaway greenhouse' phenomenon. Q Science (talk) 21:39, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
The article contains the following statement:
- Climate scientist John Houghton has written that "[there] is no possibility of [Venus's] runaway greenhouse conditions occurring on the Earth".
However, a runaway greenhouse effect may occur in the distance future due to the rising luminosity of the Sun. See paragraph 5, Future of the Earth#Climate impact for example. Thanks.—RJH (talk) 14:28, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
- Without having checked in detail, my guess would be that there is an implicit "within the current geologic epoch" in JH's quote William M. Connolley (talk) 18:32, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
This article is quite badly broken, due to the definition it uses. So, we start with:
- A runaway greenhouse effect occurs when, on a planet with substantial reserves of greenhouse gases in liquid or solid form, some forcing occurs to begin to gasify them, leading via positive feedback to complete gasification of these reserves.[1][2] The planet Venus is believed to have experienced a runaway greenhouse effect, which led to its oceans boiling away.
The problem is the mixing of two different meaning of runaway. "gasification of reserves" is one possible defn, but (a) it doesn't actually imply any particularly large temperature change and (b) it isn't the defn ref 1 provides. Ref 1 [5] defines it as "It would become a runaway greenhouse effect if the rising temperature approached the boiling point of water, because then the oceans would begin to convert to water vapor, the water vapor would increase the effectiveness of heat trapping and accelerate the greenhouse effect, this would cause the temperature to rise further, thus causing the oceans to evaporate faster, etc., etc. (This type of runaway is also called a "positive feedback loop".) When the oceans were gone the atmosphere would finally stabilize at a much higher temperature and at much higher density, because all the water would now be in the atmosphere. " So, Venus had a runaway but Earth (obviously) didn't.
Ref 2 [6] is, I think, useless and should be removed William M. Connolley (talk) 16:14, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
- Agree, Ref 2 is useless. In addition, since the phrase "runaway greenhouse effect" does not appear in the IPCC WG1 (2007 text or Glossary, except in the title of one reference), this article should say so. Q Science (talk) 20:33, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
- I think this whole thing needs a major re-vamp. We probably have AJL to thank for much of this William M. Connolley (talk) 20:41, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

- I've done the intro into something that I now think is sane. Probably the article text needs reworking too William M. Connolley (talk) 20:54, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
Biased towards a "there is no cause for alarm" viewpoint?[edit]
I've just reverted [8]. Looking, I think the previous section applies.
I don't think:
- Some may feel that runaway greenhouse effect is not a clearly defined term, but it alludes to the potential for what has happened to Venus to happen to the Earth
is accecptable: its either a well defined term, or it isn't. If it is, find the sources that say so, and evidence that it is used. Nor is:
- The term is not generally used by the IPCC, which has generally been shown to be conservative (i.e. unduly optimistic)
If you want to say that the IPCC is unduly optimistic, you need very good sources.
- However, the only sense in which "runaway" (in the sense of a runaway train whose brakes have failed) is poorly defined is...
looks like personal opinion to me William M. Connolley (talk) 10:17, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
With all due respect, what either you or I think is completely irrelevant; what is important is what has happened and what is happening: Is surface temperature and pressure on Venus 90 times that on Earth (or not)? Was this caused by positive feedback mechanisms inducing irreversible increases in GHGs (or not)? Is there evidence of positive feedback mechanisms kicking-in on Earth (or not)? In all three cases the evidence demands an unequivocal "Yes" and, therefore, your objections are all entirely spurious: Runaway greenhouse effect is not a poorly-defined term; you just seem determined to obfuscate it.
As for the IPCC being prone to undue optimism, there are many sources to support this assertion, not least the wording of the UN Resolution by which the IPCC came into being - which grants the right of line-by-line and word-by-word review of every IPCC report and - effectively enabling simple majority voting at government level to obfuscate any scientific consensus. See Biello (2007), 'Conservative Climate Consensus document may understate the climate change problem', Scientific American, April 2007.
As I said to you on your Wikipedia user profile page, you - like many others - appear to be in denial of reality.Mlack65 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 12:55, 2 April 2012 (UTC).
- Sorry, but "runaway greenhouse effect" is incompletely defined. Not every positive feedback is strong enough to overcome the t4 negative feedback from the Stefan–Boltzmann law - i.e. even a series of positive feedbacks can converge at some relatively low level of temperature effects. Moreover, many of the feedbacks are self-limiting. Once the arctic permafrost has thawed completely, there will be no additional GHG emissions from that source. Do you call it a "runaway greenhouse" even if it stops before boiling off the oceans? Or is that a requirement? Yes, many competent scientist think the IPCC is a bit on the conservative side. But very few indeed think they are ridiculously conservative. --Stephan Schulz (talk) 14:43, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
Guys-- the "runaway greenhouse" is a very well-defined concept in the planetary science community, and refers to a state (or a transition to a state) in which liquid water cannot be sustained at the surface (although in a more general sense it can apply to other greenhouse species that condense and feedback onto temperature, for example on exoplanets that operate in a different temperature-pressure regime), though the astrobiologists think that liquid water is a pre-requisite for life so that is the most studied case (and most applicable to Earth). In the water vapor runaway case, it requires the surface temperature to approach the critical point of water (~647 K) and, depending on the size of the surface reservoir, temperature can greatly exceed this value. The temperature does not cease to increase until the entire reservoir no longer exists at the surface. The "runaway greenhouse" does not refer to the release of CO2/methane from permafrost, or other carbon cycle feedbacks, and in fact these things would not trigger a runaway...although I understand some have used this terminology colloquially, but it would be better to define them as some sort of tipping point or abrupt climate change than a "runaway." The physics of the runaway is well-documented, though I suspect not well-known to people not directly working on issues related to planetary crises, habitability, etc. It requires a sufficient amount of stellar influx of energy (or other heat sources, such as tidal heating) to cross a certain threshold value, which depends somewhat on the gravity of a planet and the degree of subsaturation that is maintained in the atmosphere...most estimates for Earth have this at ~300 W/m2, about 60 W/m2 higher than the current influx of solar energy, so Earth will eventually runaway as the sun brightens over geologic time (there's also an intermediate "moist greenhouse" case where hydrogen is lost rapidly but liquid water can still exist). It is virtually independent of the CO2 concentration since in the runaway limit, the atmospheric opacity is almost completely set by the water vapor concentration. One the incoming flux of energy exceeds this so-called Nakajima-Simpson limit, the planet can never reach radiative equilibrium since that is the maximum amt. of energy a planet can emit with a water vapor feedback. The physics of that limit are also documented, and there's another so-called Komabayshi-Ingersoll limit that is an upper bound on how much a wet stratosphere can emit (though this isn't really reached in practice since the other one occurs at a lower value) 188.8.131.52 (talk) 18:15, 3 April 2012 (UTC) -- Chris Colose
- It would be good idea to put a few refs here to the literature that well-defines this concept,in that case William M. Connolley (talk) 20:32, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
I don't know if I should modify the article myself (I propose not, because it would change completely), but some good starting references: are 1) Nakajima, Shinichi, Yoshi-Yuki Hayashi, Yutaka Abe, 1992: A Study on the "Runaway Greenhouse Effect" with a One-Dimensional Radiative–Convective Equilibrium Model.

After this [9] edit to the lede, some of the subsequent text needs updating; for example:
- Potential runaway greenhouse effects on Earth may involve the carbon cycle, but unlike Venus will not involve boiling of the oceans.

C to F[edit]
The temperatures provided in the article are in Celsius, but everyday U.S. citizens will have no idea what the temperature is in Fahrenheit. In many articles, there are alternate measurements given in parentheses and this should be done here. Because some people like myself, just find the article, confusing to read, because we do not know what the temperature actually is. And it should not be up to individuals to have to go to another website to compute measurements, as wikipedia articles are meant to be disseminated in layman's terms.

"Greenhouse Effect" is the same as a "Runaway Greenhouse Effect"?[edit]
A Greenhouse Effect means heat is trapped more than usual, but it also means that more heat from the sun is added, and that causes a build-up of heat that just keeps building up hotter and hotter, until some factor changes (eg. less pollution, more photo-syntheses, or some other factor.) That is the REAL definition of a "greenhouse effect'. It is the same as a 'Runaway Greenhouse Effect", so the fact that it builds up hotter and hotter forever, unless some other factor changes. The current 'greenhouse gas' effect on Earth, if it is letting heat escape faster than it can build up, is not a greenhouse effect. It is just warmer. The real definition of a greenhouse effect is that the temperatures have 'runaway', and unless something changes that, then it will not stop building up hotter. Its just to clarify terms. Its the same thing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.8.131.52 (talk) 14:14, 19 August 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks, I think the distinction is that the greenhouse effect causes warming which can level out, the runaway effect would keep going, or at least keep going until conditions were completely changed. . dave souza, talk 09:03, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
- No, the RGE is a peculiar type of GE and is due to the Kombayashi–Ingersoll limit. The reason involve a deep understanding of greenhouse physic and is it is probably beyond the scope of wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Albert0 (talk • contribs) 13:33, 7 November 2014 (UTC)
- it is probably beyond the scope of wikipedia - oh, OK, we'll ignore it then William M. Connolley (talk) 14:01, 7 November 2014 (UTC)
Greenhouse effect on Venus not substantiated by valid physics[edit]
It cannot be substantiated with standard physics that the surface of Venus is kept hot by radiation from the colder carbon dioxide atmosphere. The small solid core of Uranus (55% the mass of Earth) has a surface temperature several times that of the Venus surface, and yet only about as much methane as Earth has water vapor. Uranus is nearly 30 times further from the Sun than Earth is, and thus receives little more than 0.1% of incident solar radiation.
In fact the surface temperature of Venus rises by about 5 degrees (from 732K to 737K) during the four-month-long day and so this requires an input of thermal energy, which cannot be coming by way of radiation from the colder atmosphere because, if it were, entropy would be decreasing.
Venus cools by 5 degrees at night, and so it could easily have cooled right down over the life of the planet if the Sun provided no insolation. So we can deduce that it is energy from the Sun which is gradually raising the temperature of the Venus surface during those four months of Earth time. But less than 20 watts per square meter of solar radiation gets through to the surface because carbon dioxide actually absorbs incident solar radiation.
If one tries to explain the 5 degree difference with Stefan-Boltzmann calculations for radiation, there is a difference of about 450 watts per square meter just between the two temperatures 732K and 737K, and so this is not supplied from the direct solar radiation which is only about one tenth of that which reaches Earth's surface.
Hence there is no scientific basis for assuming that direct radiation to the surface is the cause of the high surface temperatures on Venus, and thus there is no "runaway greenhouse effect."
Consequently this whole article should be removed.

Questions about Venus, and misleading terminology[edit]
|WP:FORUM w/o ideas for article improvement
It seems to me that this article has a number of problems, and should be withdrawn prior to being rewritten with careful oversight by a panel of appropriately qualified scientists. The article as it stands seems to me to be misleading and to have the potential to damage the reputation of Wikipedia. I am not a scientist, but am university-trained and have read and studied a good deal on science and engineering. I do a lot of engineering-type calculations. Rather than state facts, I think it best that I ask questions here, and merely refer to obvious or universally agreed facts.
Reference 1 does not seem to accessible any more.
Is the present atmosphere of Venus really due to any runaway process whatever? Did Venus ever have oceans or any liquid water at all (bearing in mind its proximity to the sun), though it probably had water vapour? Is it certain that there was still a good deal of water in the Venusian atmosphere by the time the planet had fully formed, or had most of it been "blown away" already? What would it mean to say that the oceans (if there were any) had "boiled away"? If the water in a pot on the stove "boils away", it remains in the atmosphere. Is it not the case that, even if there had been liquid water and that it became too hot for it to remain liquid, that it would remain in the atmosphere until being "blown away"? Is it not true that, even if there had been no carbon dioxide on Venus, the water would have blown away in any case? In this is case, would not any greenhouse principle on Venus be irrelevant or of minor significance?
I seem to remember hearing Professor Brian Cox state on television that the reason that Venus has a dense CO2 atmosphere is that there was not enough water on Venus to form carbonic acid and to form carbonate rocks, which is largely what happened to the earth's CO2. The article states: "Carbon dioxide, the dominant greenhouse gas in the current Venusian atmosphere, owes its larger concentration to the weakness of carbon recycling as compared to Earth (which requires liquid water), where the carbon dioxide emitted from volcanoes is efficiently subducted into the Earth by plate tectonics on geologic time scales." Is it the RECYCLING of CO2 which is the issue rather than carbonate rocks being formed at all, whether or not with recycling?
The article notes that "Other large-scale climate changes are sometimes loosely called a 'runaway greenhouse' although it is not an appropriate description", and "On much longer timescales, such processes can potentially spell the end of life on Earth due to the gradual increase in brightness of the Sun as it expands into a red giant in about five billion years". Yet the article continues to refer to the "runaway greenhouse effect". Would it not be better to identify the wrong use of this term, and not to use it in the article? As it is, we read, stated as though it were a matter of fact: "Most scientists believe that a runaway greenhouse effect is actually inevitable in the long term as the Sun gradually gets bigger and hotter as it ages." It is plain that things can get hot without any greenhouse principle being involved. Does this statement not contain a misleading usage of the type already referred to in the article?
Is it not the case that if a runaway greenhouse effect were possible on the earth in the near future then it would have taken place in the past when CO2 levels were anything from 3 to 10 or more times higher than they are now? Graphs of ancient CO2 levels are here... http://www.physforum.com/index.php?showtopic=11103, and here... http://earthguide.ucsd.edu/virtualmuseum/climatechange2/07_1.shtml. It seems to me that the article should draw attention to this reason for believing that a runaway greenhouse scenario on the earth is highly unlikely.
The article doesn't give a clear account of what the greenhouse effect is. It provides a link to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse_effect, which begins badly by not explaining immediately that the effect is due to greater absorption of long-wavelength radiation than of radiation having shorter wavelengths. (Instead it waffles on about scattering - I will make this the subject of question about that article separately.) A link to a good article would be fine, but the article itself should contain a brief explanation of the essentials. 126.96.36.199 (talk) 06:05, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

Main sequence[edit]
Removed sentence referring to last stages of the life cycle of the solar system as this is unrelated to a runaway greenhouse effect except in that they both would make the earth uninhabitable. Even mention of this is out place so deleted instead of redacting. Lycurgus (talk) 13:26, 27 June 2015 (UTC)
