Question

Which of the following statements BEST describes why meteorologists have different conclusions than physicists about the greenhouse effect?

The tools used in the research of the physicist are different from the tools in the meteorological research.
OPhysicists study conditions short-term and meteorologists study conditions long-term.
Different backgrounds lead to different interpretations of the data.
Meteorologists use data on weather conditions, and physicists do not have access to this data.

Answer 1

Meteorologists are interested in average temperatures

Physicists must be concerned with the distribution of incoming photons with respect to the energy that they carry - for instance, the ozone layer intercepts photons at particular energies - and there has been a hole in the ozone layer due to chemicals emitted by mankind - it seems that one would have to consider the effects of chemicals on the ozone layer (air conditioners, spray paints, industrial processes, etc.) to obtain a more accurate description of the processes involved

So it seems that different backgrounds will lead to different interpretations of the data
