Title: greenhouse factor
Post by: dooots on July 07, 2010, 12:29:26 AM
Is there a minimum greenhouse factor?  I'm currently seeing if I can stay alive in a default conventional start with the sun warming 1% a year.  According to the formula on the environment tab if I add anti-greenhouse gas the green house factor will go negative before I hit the max atmosphere pressure.  It would happen at about 2.22 total pressure.

And looking at the numbers now it looks like anti-greenhouse gas makes this a joke,  if the minimum greenhouse factor is 0.01 then the earth would have to break 31,715 kelvin to become to warm for humans.  I think the game will be long over before that happens.

I do believe that it is possible to reduce any surface temperature to a livable one, but you can't do the same for raising temperature. I Started terraforming triton once (I think it was triton) until I realized that I would hit max pressure at -10 degrees or so. :P
